Episode notes

I think it's because of the sixties. Two important things happened in the sixties to sort of start to a transform our understanding of story. The world is something that we both individually and collectively construct, you know? And so maybe we can unpack that particular dimension of how do stories influence whether or not we respond to climate change effectively?"

The first guest on Emerge is author, philosopher and activist David Loy. David and I first met at the Occupy Boulder General Assembly and our relationship grew from there. David work sits at the intersection of contemplative wisdom and social justice, making him a perfect first guest for Emerge. In this episode we discuss the ways stories limit and liberate us, the symptoms of living in a world between stories, the nature of the (7+ billion) new stories, the difficulty of acting in integrity with what you know is true, and how to find the meaning of your life. Enjoy! NOTE: Please forgive the strange audio glitches in the interview. The content of this interview is still awesome. :)
