Servane Mouazan (LinkedIn, webpage) visited the podcast and we spoke of things like collective intelligence, what happens when we invite the organisation as the living entity and inquire into it into the room, we spoke of trust and how capital is not just financial capital but rather many things. We spoke of change, and resistance to change, the invitation to listen deeply to our assumptions. How assumptions drive behavior, the crucial importance of imagination for this moment and how we have an obligation to pay attention. Enjoy this circular or perhaps spiral conversation.

Thekla Teunis (LinkedIn) is the founder of Grounded aiming to bring agriculture back into balance. Thekla shares her journey from Shell and McKinsey to her current work of transforming agriculture bottom up from the core. We speak of being with the consequences of what one is doing, what it takes to see and what it takes to take risk. The importance of having a team willing to go the distance and having the courage to act to right something that is fundamentally wrong. And how that, even though it is sometimes hard, is what affords a meaningful existence.

Giles Hutchins (webpage) has been on the podcast before (EP107). Recently released his 6th book Nature Works which we center this conversation around.

Giles also positions us nicely in where our society is currently, we speak of the potential of living intimately with our everyday life. We also bring in terms like dinergy, dissect belonging, explore hesitation and uncover stillness. And you'll get to hear the one tip, the core skill of regenerative leadership if you lean in to the episode! Enjoy!

Which places it may take you. We speak of what it means to live in these times we live in and the possibilities it offers us. We speak of embodiment, enlifenment, aesthetics, sensemaking, attention, animism, suspension of disbelief. We speak of wisdom. And what we can do now to build capacity. Towards the end there is a radical invitation. What if, we are the ones that in the future will be known as "we were the ones who came home"? Enjoy. Host: Amit Paul

Ida Faldbakken (LinkedIn), CEO of KatapultX and co-founder of Katapult Future Fest, and I had a deep inquiry into what it is to gather, what it's for and what it means to not waste peoples time. We also spoke about what it takes to break our habits, like what if the people on stage are there to propagate the conversation off stage, what if these contexts do not have to scale in themselves and can still continue to scale their impact in the world, what does it mean to work at the peak of ones capacity - what does it mean to stop when we're not at capacity? This is a rich conversation about our current challenges seen through the lens of gatherings. Enjoy!
