Check out this interview with Mike and Karen:
Mike & Karen Sliwa were in my neighborhood last year and we did this interview at the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy in San Diego. They talk about the decisions that led them to “Walk Away From Empire” and pursue a way of life that they’ve never prepared for. Earlier last year they had worked with Guy McPherson learning perma-culture at The Mud Hut.
