14. Cade McConnell on Consciousness over Convenience & Earth-led Artistry.
The season finale of The World Needs Creatives Podcast is here, and I’m excited to invite you into the precious and generous world of Cade McConnell - A cook, poet, maker and author.
Cade’s artistry is born from reviving traditional ways with food and he lives by the philosophy of consciousness over convenience.
Today, we explore what it means to treat food production and consumption as a sacred act. We’ll also walk the path of Cade’s creation story and learn how the unfolding nature of initiation helps us to reveal the fullness of who we are.
In today’s conversation we go deep, exploring everything from:
Cade’s experience healing masculine wounds
What is means to live in integrity
The energetics of food
Our collective disconnection with food production and preparation
How to add more soul to our meals
The gifts that are born from presence and patience
The difference between conventional, organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming methods
How earth made cooking materials provide lasting healing benefits
And Cade shares why the act of cooking is profoundly worthy of our time and care.
As a final parting gift, I asked Cade to share one of his recent poetic pieces to land us all in our hearts as we close this seasonal cycle.
