There is something deep and powerful that calls us to farming closely with the land and animals. While the work aligns with our values, the economic, social, environmental, and physical stressors can narrow our vision, blunt our joy, and make us question our sanity. We may not be able to change our circumstances, but we can absolutely change how we show up. Join this interactive webinar to reflect on your season; discover exercises to make you more creative and resilient; and bring more joy and success to yourself and your farm.

Hosted by Ryan Erisman. Ryan grew up on an innovative Illinois grain and livestock farm that transitioned to organic in the early 1990’s, but he left agriculture for the challenges of the Marine Corps. A decade into his four-year plan, Ryan commanded a rifle company in combat and counterinsurgency operations in Iraq. Today, Ryan raises pastured pork, grass-fed beef, and feed crops in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin using regenerative practices. He founded Odyssey Collaborations to help sustainability leaders navigate complex challenges, cultivate high-impact change, and create wellbeing for themselves, their organizations, and their communities.

This will be an interactive workshop. Participants will walk away with several concepts and exercises that they can use in their own daily life to reduce stress, stay focused on their values, and be more successful and resilient in an increasingly uncertain world.
