The Economics of Happiness with Helena Norberg-Hodge

In this thought-provoking episode, we join author, filmmaker, public speaker and pioneer of the local economy movement - Helena Norberg-Hodge. She has been promoting an economics of personal, social and ecological well-being for more than 40 years across three continents. In this week’s episode, she shares her experiences in Ladakh and Bhutan where she began to think about the destructive nature of a globalised economy that favours global traders over local traders and smaller businesses. She looks at the historical origins of our global economic system dating back to WWII and shares with us the increasing importance of taking a stand for a decentralised world and what she calls a global, local movement, particularly as far as agriculture and food production are concerned. She has written several books, notably Ancient Futures, which raises important questions about the notion of progress, and explores the root causes of the malaise of industrial society - as well as giving us inspiration for our own future, showing us that another way is possible.

The Science of Right Relations with Pat McCabe

We join the wonderful Pat McCabe, a Navajo mother, grandmother, activist, artist, writer, ceremonial leader, and international speaker in this episode. She is a voice for global peace, and her paintings are created as tools for individual, earth and global healing. She draws upon the Indigenous sciences of Thriving Life to reframe questions about sustainability and balance, and is devoted to supporting the next generations. In this episode, she recounts her first experiences connecting to her indigenous heritage, and how she began to learn about disengaging from the paradigms that we are born into, that don’t serve us. Here she encourages us to think about what we give consent to in our lives - and the places of consent that are simply assumed. She encourages us to understand that a paradigm is a choice and that we have the option to give our consent as we choose, and to call upon the highest authority in the land, our Mother Earth, to help move us towards a thriving life in harmony with nature.   Hosted on Acast.
