‘Healthy soil is the foundation of everything I do.’
Working with the land has been a lifelong relationship for Lydia Mantella - a medicinal herbalist, smallholder, and storyteller whose work sits at the intersection of soil, plants, and wellbeing. In this conversation on Save Soil News, we explore how Lydia’s lifelong involvement with soil - shaped by growing up on a smallholding and deepened through the practice of herbalism - has shaped her perspective on everything from wellbeing, to creativity, and sustainability. We delved into what it really means to work with plants rather than extract from them, and why reconnecting people to the land is such an important step toward caring for it.

Not all soil is created equal.
A little more shade.
A few more earthworms.
A little more organic matter.
A different way of farming.
Small changes above ground can transform what happens below it.

A Day at Isha Gaushala: Learning Through Love and Connection
As part of the Isha Yoga Summer Program for Children, the young participants enjoyed a memorable visit to Isha Gaushala.
From feeding calves to learning about indigenous cattle breeds, the children had an enriching experience.
The special highlight of the visit was spending time with Bhola, the gentle and beloved bull, and capturing cheerful selfies with Isha Gaushala's favorite gentle giant. 📸
Isha Volunteers: Every Act an Offering
Behind every program is a commitment to create a space of warmth, care, and receptivity. With attention to every detail, volunteers create a supportive environment where participants can simply be present and fully receive the offering.
When every action is performed with care, it becomes an offering.🙏
If you lose your gratitude, you are forsaking your humanity. Gratitude keeps you sensitive to the contributions that make your life possible. If you lose that, you become reckless and careless. That is not good for you.

In one of the cricket's memorable moments, @imVkohli chased down an almost impossible target, brought to life by @bhogleharsha’s iconic commentary.
28 needed from 8 balls.
Most people would say the game is over.
But until the last ball is bowled, the game isn't over!
Today, soil faces a different challenge. Scientists recommend a minimum of 3–6% soil organic matter (depending on regional conditions), yet many farmlands around the world fall below this level.
Healthy soil is one of our greatest allies against climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, and declining food quality.
This World Environment Day, let's back the ground beneath our feet.
We can still win this.
