In Chronological Order–
KEVIN SCHNEIDER on Legal Liberation for More Than Human Kin /94
How often do we zoom out to take collective responsibility for our impact as a human species on the voiceless nonhumans? What is constantly being sacrificed in exchange for our leisure, our luxury, our consumption? Join us in discussion with Kevin Schneider, an attorney and the Executive Director of the Nonhuman Rights Project.
Dr. BIRUTÉ MARY GALDIKAS on Orangutan Refugees in Their Own Land /93
We are joined by Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, a globally renowned anthropologist, conservationist, and orangutan researcher. She has been researching and working with wild and wild-born ex-captive orangutans for nearly half a century.
BEN GOLDFARB on Beaver's Complex Inter-Weavings /92
What is the relationship between the destruction of beaver population and ecological collapse? Join us in conversation with Ben Goldfarb to learn how the slaughtering of beaver became the gateway to settler colonization and extraction culture.
KURT RUSSO on the People Under the Sea /91
This episode is a call to the human heart. The impassioned Kurt Russo, speaking on behalf of the qwe lhol mechen, is one that will imprint itself on your memory as a cold hard look into the mirror of humanity.
ELIZABETH FOURNIER on a Green Afterlife /90
Our conversation today is with Elizabeth Fournier, who has worked seven generations in the funeral industry, focusing on green burial and rethinking the way we bury our dead.
HEATHER MILTON-LIGHTENING on Reframing Direct Action /89
Ayana and Heather discuss truth and reconciliation, true ally-ship, the commonality of Trump and Trudeau and reflections from Standing Rock.
NNIMMO BASSEY on Niger Delta as Sacrifice Zone /88
Our imaginary borders have tainted our relationship to fossil fuel complacence; global warming does not exist inside of borders, species extinction doesn’t follow state lines and blood is on all of our hands. As Nnimmo writes, “we thought it was oil, but it was blood.”
STEVEN MARTYN on Letting Land Lead /87
Steven and Ayana explore the ideas of co-creative integrated polyculture, living reciprocally with the land, autonomous evolution of nature, invasive species, and the origins of our food and medicine plants.
LEAH PENNIMAN on Land Based Liberation /72⌠ENCORE⌡
Leah confronts us with the harsh realities of injustice by two voices that simultaneously speak of healing, possibility, and reconciliation
RON FINLEY on Cultivating the Garden of the Mind⌠ENCORE⌡ /79
Together with Rob, we explore what it could look like to move beyond the “build it and they will come mentality” towards a more inclusive “let’s build it together” paradigm of collectives and cooperation.
STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER on Plant Intelligence & The Imaginal Realm, Part 2 ⌠ENCORE⌡ /14
Buhner is the earth speaking on behalf of themselves. He beautifully and scientifically challenges us to give ourselves fully and humbly in our relationships with our more than human elders and kin, he asks us to walk our talk when it comes to unlearning human supremacy and civilized consumptive conditioning through relationship to plants.
JANINE BENYUS on Redesigning Society Based on Nature ⌠ENCORE⌡ /71
With Janine, we delve into biomimicry and what it might look like to be in alignment with the flow of life. Wondering what success looks like beyond our children, beyond our children’s children, but to the entire web of inextricably linked beings– seven generations beyond this very moment.
ROBIN WALL KIMMERER on Indigenous Knowledge for Earth Healing ⌠ENCORE⌡ /35
Dr. Kimmerer is active in efforts to broaden access to environmental science training for Indigenous students, and to introduce the benefits of traditional ecological knowledge to the scientific community, in a way that respects and protects indigenous knowledge.
DUNE LANKARD on the Day the Water Died /86
Dune’s determination to take on lawsuits, with visionary alternatives to the status quo, has made the wildest possibilities of conservation happen in Alaska. He has turned cultural corners from the forced corporatization of native people’s relationship to their water, tree, and fish kin.
FAVIANNA RODRIGUEZ on Art & Migration Know No Borders/85
The effects of our collective greed are coming to a head at this time. What are we going to do in this time? What is the role of art now? Favianna stands in the heat of this fire and guides us to explore the intersection between culture, economy, climate change and pleasure activism.
ZAYAAN KHAN on the Place of Sweet Waters, Part 2 /84
We meet with Zayaan Khan to discuss water scarcity in South Africa and a point of no return at which culture can change rapidly. Suddenly people become accustomed to the unthinkable —no showering! no laundry!— and they begin to ask, how could we have ever been so wasteful, so indulgent?
ZAYAAN KHAN on the Place of Sweet Waters, Part 1 /83
With Zayaan, we trace the ways that the white colonization of South Africa not only destroyed the complexities of the human-to-land relationship, but also continues to ignore the intricacies and connectivity of the landscape and how South Africa is still living within the echo chamber of a shockingly repressive colonial system
STEPHEN JENKINSON on Closing Time /82
Stephen joins us to discuss how the debts of generations past have accrued to us, but not the wisdom. Our inheritance of obligation, of reciprocity, has been broken and we are left with what is dying, but without any understanding of how to be with it.
ADRIENNE MAREE BROWN on Emergent Strategy⌠ENCORE⌡/68
At the heart of adrienne marie brown’s, Emergent Strategy, is moving towards life and learning from the wisdom of nature to drive our social movements. Emergent Strategy asks of us to think about spirituality and transformative justice central to the resilient future we are imagining together.
JACINDA MACK on the Planetary Cost of Luxury /81
What is responsible mining? Is there such a thing? How do we restructure our dominant culture’s view of what is considered valuable? Jacinda Mack wholeheartedly leads the way to ignite the fire in people’s hearts around this critical topic of responsible mining, rooted in seven generations thinking.
