25d ago47:43

47:43

What is at stake if we bypass the “inner” work of personal transformation while we rally forward in the “external” work of dismantling systemic injustice? What does it mean to imbue wonder, mystery, and magic within movements for collective liberation? And what if these troubled times actually require us to become strange to its often-normalized va…

Serene Thin Elk: An invitation into collective, generational healing 46:00

1M ago46:00

46:00

A lot of people seem to be struggling with our senses of belonging. So many people have been uprooted and forcibly displaced. Many have chosen out of free will to relocate. Many are born into places where they don't have deep ancestral roots. And many don’t have the privilege of feeling like their families and communities with whom they grew up are…

2M ago51:27

51:27

How is the Maasai community continually being displaced and disenfranchised in the name of “wildlife conservation”? What are some of the common propaganda used to justify their mass evictions?

[Replay] Seeding Regenerative Ideas and Dreams - Kamea Chayne 55:36

3M ago55:36

55:36

Times are dark. It is hard to imagine beauty, peace, or even the future.

These themes ar…

3M ago1:00:08

1:00:08

How do the biological life forms of the Amazon rainforest — from pollen grains, fungal spores, to microbes — play active roles in their regional water cycle? How might we connect chemistry, biology, physics, ecology, and other less quantifiable measures of aliveness to look at our planetary crises in much more holistic ways? And if the Earth's “sys…

[Replay] Resisting Consumerism, Reclaiming Power 56:32

3M ago56:32

56:32

Consuming stuff is embedded into our identities and our culture. We are told that we deserve to buy things, and that ownership defines our worth. For the sake of our planet’s health and our own freedom, it is well worth the hard work of dismantling our addiction to stuff and asking ourselves questions about who we want to be. Aja Barber joins Resee…

How do we courageously face our eco anxiety and grief, and find the resources we need to cope with the climate crisis?

Nathalie Kelley: Sporing more regenerative stories in media and entertainment 47:37

4M ago47:37

47:37

What does it mean that Hollywood and the entertainment industry are increasingly relying on AI and consumer data to make decisions about the stories that get funded and produced?

5M ago54:49

54:49

How do we navigate friendships in the context of social change and increasing political divides? What does it mean to ground ourselves in concepts that are much older than us — collectively nurturing our “garden of ideas”?

Alexis Pauline Gumbs: Echolocation as a practice of collective care 53:13

5M ago53:13

53:13

What can we learn from marine mammals in their practices of echolocation? What is the difference between identification as a colonial tool of control and separation, versus identifying with as an invitation to expand and blur boundaries?

[Replay] Beautiful Forms of Resistance - Erica Violet Lee 47:43

5M ago47:43

47:43

How do we find freedom from the relentless demands of capitalism? How do we cultivate rest as a radical act of resistance and revolution? How do we learn from, centre, and support Indigenous sovereignty? How do we learn from Black organizing and resistance, and see Indigenous and Black liberation as coexisting side-by-side? How do we avoid the co-o…

[Replay] Redefining Environmentalism - Chúk Odenigbo 50:08

6M ago50:08

50:08

How do we redefine environmentalism so that it includes everyone? How do we embed justice and belonging into our relationship to the natural world?

Bruce Pascoe: Respecting and falling in love with the land 55:38

6M ago55:38

55:38

How is the common portrayal of Australia’s first peoples as hunter-gatherers who lived on empty, uncultivated land misguided, and wrong?

In this episode, w…

Laura Marris: Sensing into our longings and "the age of loneliness" 39:26

6M ago39:26

39:26

How might we listen to our hearts more and tune into this “age of loneliness”?

Nick Estes: Expanding activism beyond electoral politics 44:42

6M ago44:42

Bethany Brookshire: Rethinking “pests” and the ways they challenge power 53:01

7M ago53:01

53:01

What does it mean that the labeling of “pests” often relate to how they challenge power and order?

Rasul A. Mowatt & Too Black (P2): Building movements and navigating funding in systems of complicity 33:53

8M ago33:53

33:53

What does it actually mean to build “movements” — understanding this word not as a loose terminology overarching certain causes but as a substantive call for intentionally spun and co-conspired webs of relations? How can clarifying the words we use around organizing help to prevent co-optation and dilution? And how do we navigate the paradox of nee…

Rasul A. Mowatt & Too Black (P1): Exposing the laundering of Black rage 38:30

8M ago38:30

38:30

What does it mean to understand laundering in the context of how Black rage often gets converted to fit the interests of capital — against the very people experiencing that anger as a response to state violence?

Ben Goldfarb: Road ecology and the normalized violence of transport systems 40:00

9M ago40:00

40:00

With a significant part of the global population now reliant on paved road systems for the daily functioning of our lives, it is easy to overlook the impacts they have on our human and more-than-human communities.
