Ryland Engelhart (IG: @lovebeingryland) is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Kiss the Ground. He is also a co-creator of the award-winning, transformational documentary film, “May I Be Frank.” Ryland is an entrepreneur and activist, and works to inspire more “gratitude” into our culture. He speaks on sacred commerce, tools for building community, and regeneration and is the host of Kiss the Ground’s “We Can Do This Podcast.”
Kiss the Ground just released a new documentary on Netflix under the same title “Kiss the Ground.” I highly recommend watching it – it’s a real eye opener.
It’s a full-length documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson that sheds light on an alternative approach to farming called “regenerative agriculture” that has the potential to balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.

Hi Ryland,
I have listened to several and enjoyed each one. I feel you have touched the heart of the people greatly because people go away wanting to spread the word and share their new found perspective on what the soil means to life. I wish to be able to include our Latinx community in our appreciation of this story. They are 48% of our rural agricultural community and it would be so wonderful to have the Spanish dubbed into the film. My team is well known for the caring of the earth and climate and sequestration of carbon and it would be fabulous to have an Event celebrating our land with the film to be watched in Spanish or English. Please let me know if you can consider such an addition to your magnificent production. I eagerly await hearing from you soon. Sincerely yours
