Published: March 10, 2021, 2:05 p.m.

Farming is Andr\xe9 Miller's way of life, a way that connects him physically to the land that feeds him. He discusses his relationship with athletics and his introduction to Systema. Andr\xe9 unpacks how he came to his personal philosophy, and how it led him on the path to farming. He shares his thoughts on modern farming, and recreating connection with the environment.\n\n\n\nAndre Miller is a movement based farmer, personal trainer, and the owner of Roots Movement Farm in Oregon. He has his Masters degree in Physiology, and Bachelors degrees in both Kinesiology and Philosophy. At Roots Movement Farm, Andre combines his knowledge of movement and philosophy to create a farm where movement and nutritional medicine work together.\n\n\n\nFor more information on this episode, go to https://moversmindset.com/98\n\n\n\n--- Hello, I'm Craig Constantine. \U0001f44b\n\n\n\nIn the Movers Mindset podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique.\n\n\n\nThe purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question.\n\n\n\nI appreciate your time and attention, and I don\u2019t take it for granted.\n\n\n\n--- Thank you!\n\n\n\nMy personal mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. And Movers Mindset is one of the things I do in service of my mission. Drop by constantine.name for my weekly email, my other podcasts, writing and more.\n\n\n\nThe Movers Mindset project grew from conversations I started having as part of my personal journey rediscovering movement. The project started late in 2015, and it was initially simply a web site that shared others\u2019 writing. The project grew, and in 2017 I started the podcast. I\u2019ve worked extremely hard, but none of this would have been possible without so much help from so many people.\n\n\n\nThanks for listening!
