“Centralised systems have their functions, but they’re not the way that we’re going to rebuild the new world. It’s going to come from the soil and from the humans who are connected with the soil. It’s from the grass roots.“ Seth Tabatznik

Opening our new series Amisha speaks with Seth Tabatznik and Tasha Stevens-Vallecillo of 42 Acres. 42 Acres is a regenerative estate and wellbeing retreat in Somerset, UK, developing living examples of the much-needed transformations of our times, through our connection with nature, self, and others. Seth Tabatznik is an avid proponent of regenerative, diversified, and decentralised systems, and co-founder and CEO of 42 Acres. Tasha Stevens-Vallecillo is head of land and food at 42 Acres. With 13yrs off-grid living, she has accrued skills in fossil fuel free farming, expertise in foraging, outdoor mushroom growing using ancient techniques and ‘bee-centric’ beekeeping. Her role is to support 42 Acres towards their collective vision.
In this conversation, we hear about 42 Acres and its wide-reaching philosophy and practices that honour planet and people as thriving community. Tasha shares deep insights into 42 Acres experiences of agriwilding and the impact it is having on their inner & outer landscapes. She believes that we can all upskill in simple ways in order to live a lower impact life that’s in harmony with the land and benefits our health.
Seth speaks about broken philanthropic systems and how his work with Be The Earth supports localised regenerative futures by creating new funding models that drive funding towards women, grass roots indigenous communities.
We learn that we need to experiment with new ways of living, new ways of being in order to create systems that support life on Earth to flourish. We need to align ourselves with what we care about and with what we are moved by, and want for our future generations. Nature retreats, such as envisioned by 42 Acres, are the transformative experiences that will open us up to live in the wild gardens of our true integrity.
“The more we have moved away from the wild, the less nutritious, the less nutrient dense, and essentially the less sort of alive or vibrant the food becomes. It can all change when you are in relationship with land, and you can actually build yourself, or you can live a lower impact life that’s more in tune with the land.” Tasha Stevens-Vallecillo
