Forest Alchemy w/ Mike & Ally
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.

In this episode of Forest Alchemy, we dig into what it means to live regeneratively—financially, emotionally, and ecologically. We talk about creative ways to make and save money, the real talk on composting toilets and humanure, and raising animals alongside young children. We also explore our evolving relationship with death, weather preparedness, and how to stay rooted in resilience while dreaming forward into alternative energy and more efficient living. It’s earthy, honest, and filled with both laughter and deep reflection.

In our very first episode, we dive into springtime homestead life — from raising ducklings to building compost and biochar. We reflect on the magic of land-based living and the joy (and chaos) of building community from the forest edge. Plus, a surprise visit from our community neighbor Keith brings a real-time taste of what it means to live with open doors and open hearts.
