  • Creatures of Place is an insight into the wonderful world of Artist as Family: Meg Ulman, Patrick Jones, and their youngest son, Woody. Living on a 1/4-acre section in a small Australian town, Meg and Patrick have designed their property using permaculture principals.
    They grow most of their own food, don't own cars and ride their bikes instead, use very little electricity, and forage food and materials from their local forest. We found their story super inspiring and we think you will too!

You have no idea what toll it takes on their bodies to make a baby every day. They cannot live more than 2-4 years from the toll it takes on them. And the sadness of losing a baby per day is unthinkable to people who give a damn about others. Then it pans to murdering fish. What the actual heck. Go vegan. Don´t take what is not yours.

I have sold nearly all of my things and have decided to travel the world owning only what I can carry on a bicycle. I will settle when I have a reason to do so. Living a life such as this would give me such a reason.

      @Sur Jeudi: Yes and if parents knew what actually goes on at their local public school they would understand why their children are depressed and angry. Also many parents are so busy trying to make ends meet by using a system that works against them that they have little time for children even though they would like to spend more time with them. Other parents have already given up and have taken to medications and substances to cope with life's stresses. The children always suffer in these cases. Our current economic, medical, and food systems do not work for the average person. They work against us. I heard a saying once that went: ''The only way to win THAT game is to not play.'' If we don't ''play'' their systems then those systems will be forced to change. I've seen it happen in the food industry. Money talks as the saying goes. What the systems count on is that they work towards making change away from them very difficult and they count on people being lazy and not wanting to sacrifice to make changes. I've been around long enough to know that they are underestimating humanity's potential and willingness to sacrifice and that is their fatal mistake. Soldier on, I wish you well.

Also AMAZON HAS A COUNTERTOP COMPOSTER that is $22.00 right now. (Aug 2018) You can put ur food scraps from cooking in it!. & then use the compost in a pot or small front garden or backyard garden. That is little start. Hope it helps. Also my grandmother always had me plant marigolds (little orange or yellow flowers) flies don't like the smell. Good for porches, near doors or windowsills! Easy annuals to start from seed & when they die, u keep the seeds until the next spring. Plant the black side of seed down.

    About ten years ago my wife , son and I were moving along the path you're currently on. Then out from left field came illness, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and three years later I was diagnosed with a major heart condition. Our food forest and veg production stopped almost overnight. My wife is still able to work, so we have an income coming in, which we are thankful for. We are also medieval re-enactors. What we have learned from our experience is that to be really self-sufficient and sustainable in the long term in the past, families had to belong to a village community, so if one or two members suffered from illness of injury the village/extended family came around them and looked after them. We didn't take this into account and were blindsided by illness. We didn't plan for this eventuality, our family is spread across Australia and we didn't have time to cultivate a heap of like minded friends who could come around us and help us in our time of need, as we would have done for them.Now our vege garden is barren and our food forest, where I used to collect food each morning for breakfast hardly produces anything, as all I can now do is weed it and keep it watered, in our heat wave summers. Please learn from our experience. While you have your health prepare in some way for the time when you won't, because you won't always be able to work as hard as you do now. What you are doing brings back fond memories when I sit in the sun on the deck in winter and remember what it used to be like. You are inspirational, but please prepare and don't go down the road we have been forced to travel All the best. Royce and Karen.

When its first moccasin were made (moccasin is both singular and plural), a hole was cut in each sole, so that the child would always have direct contact with the earth and its energy and spirit. These are things that you should think about. If you don’t help your children to see, respect, honor and be grounded in the natural world, they could grow up to be. Rudy Giuliani or a Donald Trump.

      turtlenecks No matter where you live in the world, there will be government regs - key is to begin small and transition as you learn what's in / what's not. I think beekeeping in particular is becoming more and more common (and more regulated) - but loads of intel on the web to learn what you'll need to be mindful of when you begin. The couple in the video ACHIEVED this lifestyle, it wasn't a backward move, or without work -- they strictly changed their goal posts first -- and then began making daily decisions that would lead them closer!

    I have watched this several times, and as myself and young family shift our lives into a similar lifestyle, I feel such connection through this family and it warms my heart and spreads a joyful hope through my entire being. Blessings to this family...and to the folks at Happen Films for creating such potent and beautiful films that are weaving a fabric of connection among the pioneers of the future.

This family is so inspiring. Where we live we will never have a garden like that but we are working on it :) . There is so much to be said for a simple lifestyle.

A lovely message, that really is attainable for everyone. Happy to hear you are feeling inspired too! Filled with warm & fuzzies over here.

      I'm currently building my tiny house, and everything is halted because of this pandemic. My family owns a small portion of land I can use to grow vegetables and fruits. I am also phasing into this life, avoiding any materialistic pursuit, and focusing on sustainable subsistence. I have taught myself some skills I could use to earn for a living, which is also put to a halt because of the pandemic. Watching these kindred spirits is very inspiring.
