About This Podcast

Forest Alchemy is a gathering space for the soulful and the soil-bound, where love lives in the rhythm of the wild. Hosted by Mike and Ally of Soul Fire Forest (intentional co-parenting community)—partners in life, love, and land—this podcast explores the alchemy of community, parenting, permaculture, and creative living on their community forest homestead. From fire-lit workshops and regenerative projects to tender conversations about connection and transformation, Forest Alchemy is a story-rich space rooted in reciprocity and wonder. Come sit by the hearth, walk the wooded path, and join a growing network of wild-hearted listeners weaving a more connected world.
