S.2, EP.11 - EMPOWERMENT AND DEVELOPING SELF-RELIANCE THROUGH ANCESTRAL SKILLS WITH WONIYA THIBEAULT

Hey! Welcome to Move Wild Podcast, a podcast dedicated to understanding human health from an evolutionary perspective, and integrating the universal principles of human health and wildness into our lives. Each week I interview and discuss with guests on topics and conversations entered around re-wilding, natural movement, nature connection and ancestral living practices. Thanks for joining me on this journey!

About today's show:

Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you a conversation I had with Woniya Thibeault of Buckskin Revolution.

Woniya Thibeault is a naturalist, craftsperson, and ancestral skills instructor, and her greatest ambition and joy is striving to be a wilder human.

Woniya’s work, through her business Buckskin Revolution, is to help people feel connected to their wildest, freest selves, and to the living world around them. She believes that practicing ancestral lifeskills in the context of our globalized, mechanized world is an important and revolutionary act. She teaches a wide range of topics, sharing skills that help people feel empowered to make and do more things for themselves and to feel and more connected to their human ancestors and the living world around them. Gathering and growing our own food, making the clothes we wear from resources in the woods around us, learning to understand what the birds are saying about the movements of other creatures in the forest are a few examples of the skills she teaches. Woniya teaches through in-person classes, her Youtube channel, speaking engagements, and the books she is currently writing.

Woniya believes that these skills and life ways are an important part of our human heritage and should be available to all of us. They speak to that place inside us that remembers what it feels like to know the world around us intimately, to shape the substance of our lives from the raw materials around us. They remind us what it is to be human and connected to the wild within and around us.

With a masters degree in Environmental Science and 25 years of study and practice of ancestral lifeways, Woniya works to bridge the practical hands on skills for land based living skills with a deep understanding of and love for the natural world.

The Buckskin Revolution is not just making buckskin clothing, or harvesting wild foods or survival skills, it is about inspiring and enabling people to do more for themselves and to be freer, healthier, wilder, more connected human beings.
