Imagine a world where every one of us finds meaning in living a good life—and where ‘good’ means conducive to the flourishing of all beings.
How could we make this happen? What would the inner values shift look and feel like?

Wise. Just. Courageous. Temperate - Stoicism as a Living Path to Connection with Victoria Hurth
Imagine a world where every one of us finds meaning in living a good life - and where 'good' means conducive to the flourishing of all beings. Imagine that this frames our every thought, sensing and action, allowing us to explore and question our triggered responses to the world we are enmeshed with in a way that is resilient and self-regulating, so that we can bring the best of ourselves to the table, with outcomes as information, ready to engage with what is, for what matters, and not to force how we think things ought to be. Imagine us working to govern this way of being so our our actions are shaped, moment by moment, day by day, year by year, decade by decade as we turn the bus that is humanity - the entire ecosphere, really - from the edge of the cliff that is mass extinction to collective enduring flourishing.
“I think empathy is a creative act. It’s imaginal, it’s an art-making practice, where even just listening is creating a picture and a lifeworld of the other inside yourself in order to get closer to each other.” Dr Dylan McGarry

Sculpting Invisible Materials: Expanding Empathy in the Hot Mess of Now with Dylan McGarry of Empatheatre
Empathy lets us do more than just step into another's shoes, it opens the doors for us to step into their heart and soul with the vast generosity of spirit we'd like others to bring to us, so that we can see through their eyes as the best of who they are. Obviously, we can do this with other people, but we can do it too, with whales, with elephants, with horses, and red kites and moles and spiders - and mountains and trees and landscapes… empathy is the spark that connects us to the More than Human world.
Jeremy Lent's new book, Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All is out soon -so we got together to discuss what an Ecocivilisation is, why we need to become one, and how we might get there.

Towards the Symbiocene: Building an Eco-Civilisation with thought-leader, Jeremy Lent
Jeremy Lent is a long time friend of the podcast. His new book, 'Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All' is coming out at the end of April 2026 and so we got together to discuss what an Ecocivilisation is, why we so badly need to become one, and how we might get there.

Clearly, the concept of a nation state as a geopolitical entity that claims legal monopoly on violence within certain borders is no longer fit for purpose.
So how might we build something better - that *isn't* Trump annexing Greenland?

Co-ordiNations vs the Network State: Greenland and the Schism in Global Vision with Dr Andrea Leiter
What is a Network State and how does the concept matter in relation to the Trump administration's attempts to take Greenland - and their 'peace' proposals in Gaza and Ukraine?
#CleanWater is a basic right of life.
And water activism is one of those precious things that unites people across all the other toxic cultural divides.
So what are we doing and why and how?

Water, Water Everywhere and no... 
Water, Water Everywhere and none of it fit to drink! With Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek - ahead of World Water Day
Today, we're talking about water, that utterly essential part of our biological and spiritual lives. It should be clean. It should be safe to drink, to swim in, for us and all the species with whom we share our beautiful blue pearl of a watery planet. As we all know… it's not.
In the midst of collapse, as we watch our governments lay waste to our social agreements, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights and sovereignties to the More than Human world.
And yet we must - so here's how.

Kindling Quiet Romance: Reimagining the Law for Nature with Brontie Ansell of Lawyers for Nature
In the midst of collapse, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights and sovereignties to the More than Human world. And yet, if we're to transcend this moment, it must be because we have become something other than we are now. To do this, we need the roadmaps that show us how to move through, and beyond, the collapse of the old into something new...

Healing our Fractured World: Re-Awakening Indigenous Consciousness with Marc-John Brown of the Native Wisdom Hub
As the old paradigm splinters into rage-filled, grief-stricken fragments, how can we lay the foundation for the total systemic change we so badly need? Even beyond the listeners to this podcast, it is obvious by now that there is no going back. As Oliver Kornetzke wrote in a particularly sharply written piece on Facebook back on 22nd January - before Alex Pretti was murdered by Trump's Federal Agents - what white America is not experiencing is not new, and is not a flaw in the system, it is the system...
How do we shift business from extractive/destructive to *actually* working as if we were all integral to the Web of Life - and our joy, our duty, our meaning and purpose were its flourishing?

Laws of Nature, Laws with Nature: Nature on Board with Alexandra Pimor of the Earth Law Center
Across the world, our legal systems are crumbling, the rule of sane law dismantled in real time. Yet at the same time, rivers, mountains, bees are being granted legal rights in ways that would have been thought impossible even a few years ago. And in boardrooms around the planet, C-suites and businesses are increasingly looking to the natural world for guidance on how to be in ways that heal the web of life. So how do we make this work? How do we ensure that it's not just another layer of corporate greenwash?
We live in an ever-changing world, but how thin is the ice on which we are skating? And how can we change the ways we do things so we don’t fall into the void of extinction.

What ought we be? Hope, despair and the resilience of life with Professor David Farrier
We live in an ever-changing world, but it is not always obvious what kinds of evolutionary change we are seeing in the broader web of life: in physiology, behaviour, language - and human responses to these. How plastic is the natural world? How resilient? How capable - or not - of adapting to the chaos of the climate emergency, the cascade of toxins in our air, soil and water, to the plastics, heavy metals and other detritus we throw out into the world as if the entire planet were one vast sewer for waste we forget about as soon as we've had the dopamine drip that acquiring it evoked?
