Summary
Ryland Engelhart (IG: @lovebeingryland) is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Kiss the Ground. He is also a co-creator of the award-winning, transformational documentary film, “May I Be Frank.” Ryland is an entrepreneur and activist, and works to inspire more "gratitude" into our culture. He speaks on sacred commerce, tools for building community, and regeneration and is the host of Kiss the Ground's "We Can Do This Podcast."
Kiss the Ground just released a new documentary on Netflix under the same title “Kiss the Ground.” I highly recommend watching it - it’s a real eye opener.
It’s a full-length documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson that sheds light on an alternative approach to farming called “regenerative agriculture” that has the potential to balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How soil is our common ground
- The story of Cafe Gratitude
- The business philosophy called Sacred Commerce
- Growing up a child of hippy parents
- Ryland’s personal mission statement
- The teachings of Waldorf education
- The body is an ecosystem
- Learning how to be comfortable without depending on substances
- Transforming limitations at The Landmark Forum
- The Be Love tattoo movement
- Experimenting with the plant medicine ayahuasca
- Regenerative agriculture could be a solution for climate change
- Animals are part of the life and death cycle of a farm
- How vegans can support regenerative agriculture
- Appreciating where your food comes from
