I am excited to be lined up to interview the wonderful Krishna McKenzie, permaculture farmer and musician in Auroville, India, tomorrow evening for The Raw Food World Radio Show. Krishna is the son of Jeanette McKenzie, my mentor and friend who we interviewed a few weeks back on connecting to the truth within... Jeanette's son Krishna has been on a fabulous journey of exploration the last couple of decades...as far as I recall, the story goes that he left England as a teenager declaring that he was going off to India to start a farm...and that's indeed what he did ;)
Solitude Farm in the "eco-city" of Auroville, India, has been thriving as a sustainable farm for many years now under Krishna's strong guidance, practicing all kinds of "natural" farming methods such as organics, permaculture, fukuoka-methods, seed-saving etc... and Krishna and his friends there also produce wonderful music with their band "Emergence", which has even been invited to play at the famous Glastonbury festival in England :) We'll be connecting to Krishna aaaaaaaaall the way over in southern India tomorrow evening, Thursday June the 23rd, at 6pm Eastern, all being well :)
