The Art of Foraging in Modern Times
A short reflection on foraging, belonging & the modern world
by Lieve Galle
What happens when we slow down enough to listen to the living world?
In this short essay, I explore how the ancient ways of foraging can help us rediscover our place in a modern landscape that has forgotten how and when to rest and be still.
A broader reflection, infused with ecology and my personal experience as a forager and educator, for fellow foragers, thinkers, educators, event-organisers and anyone seeking deeper meaning behind foraging.
