Description
Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.My guest today is Ayana Young, a podcast and radio personality specializing in intersectional environmental and social justice, deep ecology and land-based restoration with an undergraduate degree from Loyola Marymount University, including a double major in art history and theology and a minor in philosophy as well as education through Columbia university and ecology and Eastern religions plus restoration ecology at the university of Victoria. Young has a strong academic background at the intersections of ecology, culture and spirituality. Postgraduate dividends from her early career allowed Ayana to conserve 500 acres of coastal Redwood and salmon habitat in Northern California where she's been living for over five years, the first few years in a tent with no electricity or running water as she established a homestead and broke ground on a native species nursery and research center. Ayana Young is also the founder and executive director of millennial media organization and nonprofit For the Wild. The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state. She’ll be opening a second Hippie Haven in Salem, Oregon in Feb 2021.Follow along on Instagram - @ahippieinavan & @hippiehavenshop & @bestowedessentialsShop zero waste home goods at www.hippiehavenshop.comRead podcast transcripts at www.hippiehavenpodcast.com
