Activism in Service to the Earth: A conversation with Gail Bradbrook of Extinction Rebellion

Dr Gail Bradbrook is best known as being one of the co-founders of Extinction Rebellion. But she's also a StreetSchool Economist and deeply passionate visionary and here, we explore the spirit of activism that underpins her work - and look forward to future Rebellions held in the trickster spirit of Fox and Crow.

Dr Gail Bradbrook has a PhD in molecular biophysics.  She was founder of a program called ‘StreetSchool Economics’.  She’s a visionary, social and spiritual activist - and, of course, she’s best known as one of the co-founders of Extinction Rebellion.  She has a deeply held spiritual path that underpins the values of all her work - being in service to the earth in the best way she can guides everything she does. 
In this podcast, she talks about those values, about the moments when she prayed for help - and was answered - and about the vision that drives the latest dreams of how we move away from the corruption of the current system to the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
