In a world that often feels dominated by technology and constant change, it’s easy to forget that some people are still living by the rhythms of ancient traditions. James Rebanks, an author and shepherd, is one of them, and in today's episode, he shares what following a way of life that has endured for thousands of years can teach us about modern life and the things that matter.James offers a glimpse at the often ignored and misunderstood world of pastoral life in England's Lake District, which isn't just about working with sheep and cattle but maintaining a deep connection to past generations, a commitment to community, and a sense of purpose. He takes us through the life of a fell shepherd, where the timeless values of hard work, seasonality, stewardship, and stillness still get lived out day to day.Resources Related to the Podcast<ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/470x04b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">James' books</a></li><li><a href="https://rootsofnature.co.uk/grazing-school/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grazing School</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3H1RzCX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Poetics of Manhood&nbsp;by Michael Herzfeld</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4lHnTKk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Braiding Sweetgrass&nbsp;by Robin Wall Kimmerer</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dyingbreed.net/p/5-things-farmers-have-taught-me-about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dying Breed article: 5 Things Farmers Have Taught Me About Work, Life, and Legacy</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4meb3Di" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wendell Berry's books</a></li><li><a href="https://understandingag.com/partners/allen-williams/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Regeneratist Allen Williams</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi8jM5w49UezskDWBGyKq5g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Regeneratist Greg Judy</a></li></ul>Connect With James Rebanks<ul><li><a href="https://x.com/herdyshepherd1?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">James on X</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/herdyshepherd1/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">James on IG</a></li></ul>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
