"Do not doubt yourself a single second."

This interview of Ingrid Schmithüsen by Hannah Abouzaharah and Annika Korsten is special in many ways:
Ingrid was found to have ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, almost 2 years ago. Ingrid is dying from this disease, which is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that normally control voluntary muscle contraction.
Due to the loss of her speech, Ingrid is using a text to speech technology, hence her speech in the recording is an automated voice. The process of writing takes some time, and we have intentionally left some of...

Julia Neumann was interviewed by Millicent Haughey⁠ for this episode, as a special journey is taking form for her.

RAW Voices brings you written words, read out loud by the author. This article is "Do not follow" by Millicent Haughey.

"Do not follow her when you see her walking ahead. Do not think that you are walking there too.
Do not follow. Like a dog lonely in the night.
Then again do not stop walking because you are scared. Lean into that. Lean towards. Lean forward into.
Do not give up.
Do not give in.
Don’t let go.
Do not let go of something that is not yet here.
Do not decide that your life is over.
Do not...

In the late 1970s, at the age of 17, Olive Jones joined a communal living experiment in Nelson, living in a kind of Anarchy with each other and off the land. Later, that Community purchased a piece of land in Motueka Valley that came to be known as Graham Downs.
There, they experimented radically with communal living: anybody could join whenever they wanted for as long as they wanted. They farmed the land with horses, milked cows, butchered their own meat, built their own houses, made their own clothing, all without any governance structure.
