In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan speaks with longtime friend Christopher Gardner, who shares his journey of discovering and working with biochar, a potent soil amendment derived from biomass through pyrolysis (low-oxygen burning). Originally inspired by Amazonian agricultural techniques (terra preta), Christopher began experimenting with biochar while living in Central America, where the soil was poor and depleted.

Through firsthand trial and error, he found that adding biochar to his farm dramatically improved plant health, eliminated pest problems like leafcutter ants, and boosted yields of cacao, coffee, bamboo, and tropical fruits. He describes how biochar:
-Enhances soil structure and water retention
-Creates structured, energetically coherent water
-Offers resistance to EMFs through its diamagnetic properties
-Acts like a “womb” for seedlings, encouraging strong, healthy growth

He also explains the science and method behind making biochar, comparing it to ancient Amazonian kiln practices, and how he's now producing high-quality biochar in the Ozarks using Amish and Mennonite mill byproducts. His new company, BlackGold Biochar, provides this regenerative product for gardeners and farmers.

Tom opens this week’s livestream with Part 2 of his 2025 Wise Traditions Conference talk: “Welcome to the New Biology.” In this follow-up to last week's presentation, Tom outlines a new paradigm of health and healing based on the ancient understanding of ether, the four elements, and coherent water.

Highlights include:
-A direct challenge to the existence of hormones, vitamins, and neurotransmitters in living systems
-An overview of the foundational elements of the New Biology: earth, water, air, and fire
-A reframing of disease as the body’s self-directed healing process—not pathology

Tom closes by urging viewers to drop reductionist thinking and reclaim direct, sensory experience as the path to true knowledge and well-being.

Tom opens this week’s livestream with a Part 2 Recap of the 2025 Wise Traditions Conference, sharing highlights and reflections from the weekend. In this presentation, he explores the ancient understanding of life as an expression of ether, frequency, and the four classical elements—earth, water, air, and fire—before contrasting it with the mechanistic worldview of modern science.

Highlights include:
-Farewell to the Old Biology
-A deep dive into the Old, Old Biology—how ancient cultures understood creation, species, and individuality
-Stunning examples of architecture as ether-harvesting technologies, designed to promote coherence and healing
-A critical breakdown of foundational biological structures (ribosomes, synapses, DNA, etc.) that have never been empirically demonstrated
