PRESENTATION
DEBUNKED BY NATURE
SAT., OCT. 19 AT 9:00 AM
Mollie Engelhart will share her personal and professional journey from celebrated vegan chef to regenerative farmer, drawing directly from the insights in her book “Debunked by Nature”. Her talk explores what led her to question her former beliefs about food, health and agriculture, and how hands-on experience with soil, animals and land stewardship reshaped her understanding of nourishment. She will discuss the realities of modern food systems, the limits of labels and ideology and the deeper, often overlooked connections between human health and ecological health.
Through storytelling and practical reflection, Mollie offers a candid look at transformation, challenging assumptions and what it means to align one’s life and livelihood with the patterns and truths found in nature.
