Dr. Vandana Shiva joins us to discuss how we are being set up to become accessories to the digital world and how we can reclaim our intellectual freedom and sovereignty from the hands of digital dictatorship– a powerful reminder that we are meant to live beautiful lives as sovereign beings, not as digital appendages.

This week we rebroadcast Pua Case’s interview in honor of the heart of a mountain and the rising of a Nation.

Dr. Shiva explores how systems of domination have been artificially constructed, the pervasiveness of GMOs in our food, the roots of violent agriculture, the importance of seed saving, cultures of violence, economies of care, and the role of women in changing paradigms.

Ayana and Kalani discuss an “all hands on deck approach” to addressing human behavior and developing personal preparedness.
