Richie Laming believes that human wellness and ecosystem wellness are deeply intertwined. In this powerful conversation, he shares how his personal healing journey shaped his work at Lake Hawea Station, where wellness tourism meets regenerative farming. From tree planting and soil carbon projects to biodynamic workshops and community education, Richie paints a holistic vision for how farms can be spaces of healing for both people and the planet. His reflections invite us to see farming not just as production, but as transformation.
This episode of The Regenerative Journey is brought to you by M.J. Bale an Aussie menswear brand challenging the status quo. In 2021 they created the world's first 'methane-reduced wool' at their partner farm, Kingston in Tasmania, to tackle methane – the biggest source of emissions in their woollen garment production. M.J. Bale say they believe 'local solutions to global challenges can be found when fashion companies work side-by-side with the science and agriculture communities', and that's not hard to argue with.
