Weaving the Future
This podcast is a how to guide for transforming ourselves, our communities and society. Many of us have acknowledged the pressing need for change in the world - we notice the fear, the conflict, the waste, the gross inequity, the impending effects of climate change. And many of us also ask...What can we do? Where do we start? We reflect on these questions at a deep level and identify practical next steps to help all of us be part of the change we want to see in the world. Listen in for insight into global social movements, systems change, and how to create a more sustainable and regenerative future.
