Trailer Talk
Sabrina Artel’s Trailer Talk is a combination of live performance, community event and radio broadcast based in the New York’s Catskills region. With her vintage 1965 Beeline travel trailer, Sabrina Arteltravels to festivals and events where she invites individuals to participate in what she calls a “public conversation” in a relaxed and comfortable setting. These conversations are broadcast live through speakers mounted outside the trailer, and many interviews are later aired on WJFF during the weekly program. The New York Times described Sabrina Artel’s Trailer Talk as “an unusual blend of theater, activism and broadcast journalism.”
Today’s guest joins Sabrina to take us on a journey into the Northeastern woods of NY and PA, adding in the history of the Japanese Tea Ceremony and his new offering of tea tastings. Nathaniel Whitmore, an herbalist, Chinese medicine practitioner, wild mushroom and plant expert delves into his knowledge about the woods and ancient medicinal plant practices to help us heal and find liberation through simple acts. He focuses on the plants that surround us and why we need them and the natural world to thrive physically and spiritually.
Nathaniel shares that the tea tastings can provides a ritualized way to be present in a fast moving world.
