“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.”
— C. S. Lewis

Will y’all join me on my run? 😃

Here’s to a Happy, Healthy & Spirited 2025!

Nice little reminder for all you Jesus fans out there! There is beauty in tradition.

On this week’s special in-house Alfacast we preview 2025 projects at the AV permaculture farm & on-going R&D in full-spectrum science for natural medicine & community-by-community decentralization.

The roots of what has become the Alfa Vedic community were sowed in decades past.  The introduction of Mom & Pop health food stores, organic farming, the rebirth of Naturopathic Medicine, and an almost universal disdain for war and government encroachments fanned the hopes for a new era of peace & prosperity on the near horizon.
 
Our own naïveté, however, would render a good portion of that generation vulnerable to an insidious and pervasive agenda already unfolding under the deceptive guise of benevolent social equity and the fog of invisible terrorists. 

Many unwittingly succumbed to the guile of the predator class, but a vigilant few pierced the veil of deception intended to redirect and cull the herds into a more manageable number.

We birthed and schooled our children at home and enjoyed home-grown food, while substituting Nature’s own pharmacopeia for the synthesized poisons that would otherwise despoil Natural Design. 

Some of us jumped head-first into the treacherous waters of “legal land” to rediscover the marvelous blueprint handed to us by the divinely inspired forefathers of this free-republic. 

We understood the authentic meaning of “rebuilding the Temple” as it pertained to our personal biological & spiritual selves.  America, the anatomical heart of this Realm, can only realize its destiny with the stewardship of a populace robust in mind, body & spirit.

A new generation of intrepid Souls, undaunted by the machinations that would otherwise distract and impede, are gathering in preparation for a new era that cannot be thwarted by any Earthly attempts to undermine the next evolutionary leap of Mankind.

The Alfa Vedic mission is our humble contribution toward this end, and we remain in constant gratitude to the

AV community and our many friends leading in independent, but similar efforts, such as the Kin's Domains of Anastasia fame.

Dr. Barre Lando and Mike Winner will commence the 2025 Alfacast season this Thursday with an always popular in-house episode for a glimpse of what our audience can expect for the new year.  Future podcasts will showcase a diversity of guests with expertise in areas both pertinent & practical for those seeking DIY information, and deep dives into the arena of “real science” to inspire and prepare for the possibilities that lie ahead.
 
Our private AV membership site will continue to enjoy the multiple-topic chat groups ranging from home-schooling, self-care, home garden-to-table food production, equity in law independence, good reads and a general exchange of experience and wisdom from our well-informed members.
 
Deborah and Barre Lando will be offering a live monthly “back to the land” question & answer session to our Executive Membership along with more regular content drops to the AV “Off-grid Elegance” YouTube channel.  Mike & Barre will continue live Executive Membership for intimate chats safe from YT censorship and the like.
 
Members will have access to new limited production formulas from the AV farm and Barre’s lab, while the AV open-access site will continue to introduce new offerings unique in the entire health-lifestyle industry.
 
Join us on this special Alfacast and bring your questions to the livestream chat.

We'll be simulcasting live this Thursday January 2, 10:00 AM PST on our regular YT channel and simulcasting on Rumble, Unite, Odysee, & Facebook.

Hey good folks! Here we are in another new ‘year’ of ‘great expectations’ and I feel fine. Perspective is a wonderful counterbalance to the drama of narrative and here, I hope to step out a bit from any absolute to bring in a perspective we can all appreciate.

Here’s to a fruitful, productive and prosperous year for us all! ~ Mike

G. I. Gurdjieff was truly one of those rare masters who brought so much to the world while he was here. I resonate deeply with a lot of his methods without falling into any guru worship and share some of his wisest words here while driving through the wild lands of the State of Jefferson.

Here is Part 1 of my series on energy medicine where I delve into the science and theory behind homeopathy and why I think this is one of the most practical and accessible modalities for treating illness that any family can acquire.

Recently I’ve personally experienced profound healing effects from implementing homeopathy in my life. I see the application of this energy medicine as a bridge towards a more refined and civilized perspective on how healing actually takes place as well as what role dis-ease plays within the human experience. Easily accessible by all and quite affordable, having a homeopathic kit in your household is a no-brainer and highly recommended! Enjoy the cast.

Traci Derwin, co-author of Sound the Alarm joins Alfacast this Thursday to reveal the who & why behind the Maui Fire crime scene, and why we may too lose it all.

Scorched Earth warfare is nothing new.  Fire has historically been the preferred weapon to commandeer covetted land.  Marauding soldiers with torches on horseback left nothing to the imagination of those witnessing their villages, crops and kinsman succumbing to utter destruction.

Present-day predators, however, orchestrate mayhem behind a cowardly veil of stealth and plausible deniability.  This new army merges hi-tech mercenaries and compromised institutions at the local level, while media propagandists provide the cover.

The synchronous anomalies of the ubiquitous fires plaguing Northern California, Canada and now Southern California, as we speak, have sparked a mass awakening to one inescapable conclusion.  This is a land grab!

The "land grab" in the Hawaiian islands began in 1898 with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy without the consent from the native Hawaiian population. 

The annexation was achieved through a joint resolution of Congress, not a formal treaty, rendering it lawfully invalid. 

Now "they" want it all!,  The transparently weaponized Maui fire of August 8, 2023 and the implementation of "smart growth" redevelopment plans on multiple islands without the consent of island inhabitants, once again leaves nothing to the imagination.

Traci Derwin is a native of Hawaii who had a wake-up call after the Lahaina fires compelling her to take action.  She has co-authored Sound the Alarm that walks the reader from the scene of the crime towards a 30,000 foot view of why this fire was allowed to happen, where other copycat fires have happened, and what communities are next. The authors use Maui, Hawai'i to illustrate a larger globalist plan for grabbing land, removing private property, and robbing global citizens of their sovereignty.

Traci conducts regular interviews on her YT channel Brush Junkie with guests that have compiled data and images piecing together the Lahaina fires puzzle, while seeking accountability from Maui administrators and law enforcement.

This not-to-be-missed episode needs to be viewed far and wide.  We will highlight the Maui fire as a microcosm of a world-wide attempt to subjugate the entirety of humanity, and If we don't pay attention, we too, may lose everything.

We'll be simulcasting live this Thursday January 9, 10:00 AM PST on our regular YT channel and simulcasting on Rumble, Unite, Odysee, & Facebook.

Last week's stellar in-house Alfacast to ring in the new year is now avail as an audio podcast!

Sometimes you just gotta laugh at the insanity of these morons ‘in charge’… there’s a great change a comin’ we can feel it.

With all that is going on in LA right now with these fires, I first and foremost want focus on holding space for those suffering from loss and grief due to this tragic, historic event. It’s beyond words at this time and I think it best for all of us to first sit with the raw emotions and feelings coming up before jumping to any mass conclusions on the mental plane.

That being said, as a volunteer firefighter who has seen my fair share of large-scale wild land fires, I share some practical advice on how one can better protect their home from future fire events as well as touch on the more esoteric sciences around fire and the elementals. I then end with my personal take on where this is all going and why I see the Phoenix rising in 2025. ~ Mike

Nice summary of fires and resets and where we are today with this all…

Deb Lando’s family lost their family ranch on Point Reyes back in 1960 due to eminent domain and now they are finishing off the final remaining farms. They are draining these farms with environmental legal costs as they aim to re-wild all of California, the bread basket of America, and shuttle us plebes into the new mega-cities fed by fake food and Soylent Green. We need to help educate these farmers about proper lawful remedy so they can keep their land and keep the tradition of proper animal husbandry alive. Anyone willing to help please reach out to this account on Instagram!

This isn’t just another year to “get through.” 2025 is waiting to be written, and what you bring to it matters deeply.

For decades, I’ve witnessed an intensifying dichotomy—a world brimming with distractions, yet counterbalanced by an unyielding quiet strength within communities like ours.

This isn’t rebellion born of outrage, but of discernment and resolve. A revolution of clarity, rooted in the sovereignty of the individual. You’re a vital part of this—discerning what truly nourishes and discarding what diminishes.

Your health—your practice—is the seed from which all else flourishes. It is neither a checklist nor merely “yours."

It is the foundation of everything that matters: family, vocation, community. It anchors you amid the chaos, calling for steady hands and open hearts.

Vitality is not secured through shortcuts but through deliberate simplicity.

Here’s what I’ve learned and what you already know within:

-Nourish yourself intentionally
select what is pure, unaltered, and cultivated with integrity.

Engage your body with purpose—move, stretch, walk, or climb as a gesture of gratitude for your strength.

Cultivate your mind as you would your body—enrich it with ideas that challenge and inspire.
Reconnect with the Earth—not as an abstraction, but tangibly. Tend a garden, walk barefoot, breathe deeply in Nature’s embrace.

The thread that binds all these actions is presence. Vitality resides not in the past nor the future, but in the now.

At Alfa Vedic, we exist to support this endeavor—to equip you with tools that enhance clarity, strength, connection and ease as you traverse life’s path.

This week, consider stocking up on what truly sustains you. Explore our offerings, crafted to elevate your health and fortify the practices that enrich your life.
