While maintaining a foundation of cutting edge agronomy and holistic human health content, the 2025 Soil and Nutrition Conference dug deep into the questions of what it means to engage a lived experience of deep relationship with nature.
Using the metaphor of being denatured, and honestly looking at how the underpinning structures of culture seem to be accomplishing that, we looked at the deeper ways in which we were removed from nature, in many ways unconsciously, and steps and patterns we can engage to accomplish ReNaturing.
What does it mean to live in
right relationship with nature?
If we have been colonized in our assumptions and lack of practical skill and capacity, what are the offramps we can take from the dominant paradigm to create as coherent as possible a life for the rest of our lives, and give the best chance to our next generations?
If you’re not already a member of BFA this would be a great time to sign up as there are deep discounts for people who make the annual commitment to our organization. Additionally there are other exciting things about to happen if you sign up to be one. If you have any questions contact Shawna.
Learning to ReNature
Understanding that nature or life, (some people use the words God or consciousness) is the foundational matrix within which we all exist.
What are the basic concepts we need to accomplish ReNaturing?
How can we adopt basic habits of daily ReNaturing?
How can we support our families in that same quest?
How can we make deeper steps to ReNature ourselves, from the vagus nerve and mitochondrial function to land tenure for all on every continent in every country?
What are the steps necessary for us to keep ourselves ReNatured?
The 2025 Bionutrient Food Association’s 12th Annual Soil & Nutrition Conference is Brought to You By:
If our ability to take action is weakened—whether by poor health, low energy, overwhelm, or the unpredictable weight of life—what do we know about how to reset both our mind and body, so we can regain the clarity and strength needed to make meaningful, systemic changes in our lives?
And if the core of who we are is tied to how deeply we’re connected to the underlying forces of life itself, then what is the path forward for all of us, together, in this moment?
