Fanny Norlin supports leaders, teams and business to unleash the creative potential in the dance between the masculine and the feminine. We explore her framework for thinking about these energies. This is an unconventional but useful and very practical conversation on the topic. We touch upon the basic definitions, how to understand them, what we're leaving on the table when we are not engaging with these energies. The potential is there regardless of if it is within business or in systems transformation. To work with Fanny either in your business, as a coach or a speaker take a look at her webpage (Take a look at EP120 with Tom Nixon - to get more inspiration for a start up context)

Jamie Bristow is a long term meditator and the director of the Mindfulness Initiative (UK). The conversation ranges from what mindfulness actually is to how it can be used as a tool for improvement, self-exploration and self-transformation. The mindfulness revolution has swept over the north western hemisphere for some time now - is it over or just beginning? It seems there is much more to discover for the one who dares dip one's toes in. The Mindfulness Initiative work with supporting efforts around improving decision making, politics, policy through offering mindfulness training and research on the topic. Their latest publications address how it can be a tool to combat the climate crisis and for increased wellbeing. If you want to support the work of Jamie's and his colleagues you can donate here.

This is a perspective on the EP116 on the RCO webinar. EP116 maps out the territory and this is starting to give some resolution on motivations, the potential of the RCO and what it is we are hoping to achieve exactly. These are shorter bonus episodes on the topic of the Regenerative Community Organism (RCO). We believe it's important to be able to trace the roots of thoughts and ideas to see how they track in your context. If you're curious please feel free to reach out. 

This is the start of a mini-series of shorter episodes we will post on the channel. They detail the organisational structure called the RCO. It is an exploration into more regenerative organisational forms. It is the result of some 18 months of thinking. The structure is purpose first, it is communal and it has a focus on value distribution and building agency for those participating in the company. The RCO fundamentally sees the limited company as a useful tool for building business and take into account that the company progress through its lifecycle with different needs. What might initially be well served by being strongly driven by a few individuals will over time, if it's successful, be better served if thought about as a commons that is governed by all its stake holders. This recording is from a webinar that Nils and Amit gave on the RCO. The presentation given during the webinar is available here. If you want to get in touch directly because of curiosity, ideas, to start your own or join in reach out to Amit or Nils.

This episode starts out with Sophie Strands poem Fathering is a green slow thing before we get into the conversation. Sophie us an ecological thinker and long form writer dabbling in story as a past time. Her mythic starting point is curious and agile, if there is one thing to be said about it it's that it cannot be pinned down. Sophie has spent a lot of time investigating masculinity with the intention of rewilding it, of letting it expand and sporeulate into a multiplicity of shapes and forms. We also speak about ecologically situated myth, initiation, awe, ecological and continental timescales as well as our current cultural moment. If you get curious you can find out more about Sophie on her webpage as well as her instagram (that I personally follow with great pleasure). Host Amit Paul.
