Hunting for Food and Freedom with Christie Green

<p>What does it mean to hunt as a deeply embodied, emotional, and relational practice?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Women in Wild Places</em>, I sit down with writer and landscape architect <strong>Christie Green</strong> to explore hunting as a path to connection: to food, to place, to the animal world, and to our own bodies.</p><p>Christie shares her journey of beginning to hunt later in life after growing up in Alaska, and how what started as a desire to harvest her own food became a personal and creative practice. Together, they talk about the sensory world of the hunt, the moment of deciding whether to take a life, the paradox of grief and gratitude, and what it feels like to see your own anatomy reflected in the body of an animal.</p><p>We talk about why the topic has become so polarizing, and how these charged topics can actually open space for deeper dialogue, humility, and mutual respect.</p><p>This is a conversation about nuance, belonging, and paying attention. </p><p><strong>Connect with Christie Green</strong></p><ul><li>🌿 Website: https://www.christiegreen.net/</li><li>📸 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/radiclelandscape/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> </li><li>📖 <a href="https://www.unmpress.com/9780826366726/moonlight-elk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Moonlight Elk</a></li><li>Christie&#39;s <a href="https://www.christienell.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">fashion brand</a></li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Women in Wild Places</strong></p><ul><li>📸 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/womeninwildplaces⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@womeninwildplaces</a></li><li><br><a href="https://substack.com/@womeninwildplaces?" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Join the free community on Substack</a></li><li><a href="https://shopmy.us/shop/outsidegabs?" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Shop essential gear</a></li></ul>
