I had to join and subscribe now that you are bringing in gopher tortoises into the chat! So on our land here, we have a population of 40+ tortoises, and in many mystical ways, they are the deep reason we are here. I would love to connect more, I honestly feel the thread of the tortoises is like a key marker of how to build and weave connection and community in the south, and of course it's not on accident that they are a keystone species. The part of their magic I find so inspirational is how when the forest is on fire, that is when all the species band together--species that would traditionally not want to be so close, when the fires are raging, new alliances are built...and the peaceful, gentle nature of the tortoises, it's what makes it work. Anyway so much more to say... https://allyouneedinstitute.com/ is our current website, we also just started the non profit Burrow Nature Center
Ok I'm traveling with my family and can't do as deep a dive as I want to but I'm THRILLED to read this and have both your support and presence within our community! I'll DM you a link to your membership within our EMUNAH community space by the end of the weekend, and I can't wait to connect with you deeper! I host monthly The Living World Salons as collective wisdom circles and if it's only ever you and me talking about Gopher Tortoises, there will be so much richness to that time spent!
