IN THIS EPISODE

As part of our Myth Workers and Culture Makers series, the writer behind the On Culture Work Substack newsletter, Tad Hargrave offers stories and observations about how to feed and shape culture within community.

OUR GUEST

Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again). Since 2001, he has been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture making, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into his work helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace. You can learn more about Tad and his work at marketingforhippies.com. 

He also writes on Culture Work on his Substack: https://tadhargrave.substack.com/

OUR CONVERSATION

• Tad’s working definition of culture work comes from Stephen Jenkinson and his Orphan Wisdom School and  Kakisimow Iskwew, “culture is our set of original instructions about how to live on the land in a good way.”
• What can we do to feed the culture around us? How are we killing it?
• How ceremony can be part of life
• How to (and how not to) facilitate homecoming and farewell events within community

Music at the start of the show is by Beth Sweeney and Billy Hardy: billyandbeth.com
