Pip Permaculture Podcast

In this Pip Podcast, we chat with Amanda Reynolds, a Guringai Yuin woman. She’s an artist, storyteller, possum skin cloak maker, curator and a sharer of knowledge. In our heart-warming conversation, Amanda honours her profound connection to Country and shares the cultural significance of symbols and designs in Indigenous storytelling and the ancient wisdom passed down through generations. Amanda's storytelling weaves together symbols, designs, and the act of deep listening, offering an intimate look into the heritage that shapes her craft and the respect she upholds for her ancestors and the land. Amanda shares anecdotes of solace found in the presence of kangaroos and wallabies, and the sanctuary her home provides for them. We reflect on the totem system's pivotal role in conservation and sustainable living. These stories not only highlight the importance of living in harmony with Mother Earth but also stress the urgency of protecting our planet's natural habitats and advocating for the rights of all it
