Welcome to episode three of School of the Wild Arts!
Today we explore the first of our CORE FOUR values: the land ethic, using the OG Aldo Leopold as a jumping off point.
Join us as we delve into the rustic beauty and daily challenges of life in La Sierrita, the Pueblo outside of Palomino, Colombia. With a 50% success rate in battling the elements lol we consider what it means to be in an ongoing ethical encounter with the non-human members of our ecological community.
Our setting provides a unique blend of rustic and modern, offering a deeper look at the cyclical nature of rainy seasons, the insects, and the joys and trials of family life mingled with wildlife. We discuss the communal aspects of living with nature and how this cohabitation challenges our understanding of security and stability.
We ponder the integrity and stability of the biotic community, exploring how beauty is perceived not only in thriving ecosystems but also in their decay. This episode invites you into meaningful dialogues about our place within this ecological tapestry and our ongoing journey towards learning, growth, and coexistence with our surroundings.
From reflections on transhumanism and the beauty of simple living, to exploring core values and the lessons nature offers, this episode promises an insightful journey into the wild art of living among nature’s wonders.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
