Should we reject society? Spoiler… probably not.
Society is ultimately what makes us human and we’ve never thrived alone. But more and more it seems the conventional system we call “society” isn’t serving our interests so I guess it’s not surprising that we’re noticing a collective return to the land among our generation.
Returning to the land in search of more meaning, better health and freedom doesn’t mean rejecting society. We’ve learnt first hand what happens when you try to do it alone and it isn’t any fun! But more importantly it’s not sustainable… and thats the whole point right? A sustainable future.
Returning back to the land needs to be a collective endeavour rooted in communities of care and interdependence, not isolation. Society IS our only hope, we just need to build one that actually serves us!
