Charles Eisenstein is a writer, orator, and philosopher behind works such as the short film "Gathering of the Tribe," and book, "The More Beautiful World Our Heart Knows Is Possible." In this interview, we expose the global reset in consciousness, the coronation, the gift economy, interbeing, sacred economics, the fall, and more. Aubrey Marcus calls Charles Eisenstein "one of the great philosophers and writers of our time" as he articulates the idea of a tide of separation generating a convergence of crises that is giving birth to a new age. It traces multiple crises — ecological, medical, educational, political, and more — to a common origin. It was the culmination of his lifelong quest to answer the question, “What is the origin of the wrongness?” by which Charles meant the wrongness that seems to have permeated every institution of modern civilization. As seen on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, he spent the next four years pouring his heart and soul into a book, "The Ascent of Humanity," that lays out what crystallized that day. In 2017, Charles Eisenstein authored a book titled "Climate: A New Story," a work that extends far beyond the confines of climate change. Contrary to the title, he challenges the environmental movement's approach of collapsing all environmental concerns into the single issue of global warming. Instead, Charles argues for a broader perspective, transcending conventional discourses and embracing the Living Planet view. He delves into the notion that everything is alive, conscious, and sacred, envisioning a deeper and more meaningful relationship between humanity and nature. Recently, Charles released his most recent book, "The Coronation," which originated from a viral essay he published during the early months of the pandemic.

Charles Eisenstein is a speaker, teacher, and author. A graduate of Yale University with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, his work covers various topics, including human civilization, economics, spirituality, and ecology. His published works include “The Coronation,” “The Ascent of Humanity,” “Sacred Economics,” “The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,” and “Climate—A New Story.” In the last-mentioned title, he argues that reducing environmental discourse into the single issue of global warming is a huge mistake for the environmental movement. The book focuses instead on the “Living Planet” view, envisioning what our relationship to nature might be if we saw that everything is alive, conscious, and sacred. Overall, his primary interest is exploring the boundaries of what is possible according to our received beliefs, habits, technologies, and ways of knowing.

“What can I do?” This is the question I get most often. It's the question that early on pivoted our newsletter and then this podcast towards measurable action steps that help you feel better and drive systemic change. I don't have anywhere near all the answers to basically anything, so I usually answer people with “What CAN you do?”…to stall for time, but also to open up the conversation. Because the answer to what CAN you do is usually best found at the intersection of your interests or passions or skills, and the eleventy billion problems and opportunities we have before us. And so, almost a hundred and fifty published conversations later and ten times as many offline, some of my favorites remain talking to young people about their lived experiences and how they're directing it towards a problem and solution, towards a radically better world, however ambitious and however much I am a moron and don't understand the basic science behind it. But on the other hand, somebody's gotta support these folks. And so those of us with privilege, with a mic or a checkbook or both have to – at the very least – step up and ask a slightly different version of that question, which is: “How can I help?” My guests today are Lissie Garvin and Laura Stieghorst. Lissie is the Foundation and Fellowship Director at the new 776 Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the venture capital firm with the same name, both founded by Alexis Ohanian. Lissie helped run Reddit, was chief of staff at Initialized Capital, working alongside Alexis, and holds the same role as a co-founder at 776 the firm. Laura Stieghorst is one of the first 776 Fellows. She is the co-founder and CEO at BASICO2, where they are working to understand how we can safely rebalance ocean chemistry using natural mechanisms to remove CO2 from the ocean and restore coral reefs. No biggie, right? Combined, these two humans are a shining example of humanity's young people, our most affected, our most ambitious, doing hard things. Because we have to, because they want to, because, in the end, some of these things might be possible, and might change the world. ----------- Have feedback or questions? http://www.twitter.com/importantnotimp (Tweet us), or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.com New here?

Following on from the 50 episode-rich anthology of the #earthconversepodcast, Earth Converse offers a bonus series of future visualizations. To help us step into life-affirming futures for ourselves, each other and the earth that is our home. This visualization focuses on climate, and acknowledging that there are so many who offer visions of possible life-affirming futures who can serve to ignite our imagination, it brings in the work of Charles Eisenstein. With the hope of honouring specifically his book - Climate: A New Story which invites a wholesale re-imagining of this complex, interconnected and critical issue.

In our near-dystopian society, progress is measured by power. Dominance over nature, animals, and fellow humans has become synonymous with development. But is humanity's desire to ascend necessarily evil? In this episode, the great philosopher Charles Eisenstein joins me for a paradigm-shifting conversation. We immerse into the most daunting social and spiritual crises we face today and discuss why acquiring more power, money, wealth, and control isn't the way out. Also, we go into the power of narratives in influencing culture, how to redefine progress to honor our one-ness with nature, the true purpose of wealth, and what it means to live a genuinely good life. Charles Eisenstein is an intellectual, teacher, public speaker, and author of numerous essays and books, including "Sacred Economics," "Climate—A New Story," and "The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible." What we discuss: 00:00 - Introduction to Charles Eisenstein 2:30 - Why global problems aren't a matter of good vs. evil 8:00 - Using narrative as a form of power 13:00 - Sacred Economics, Capitalism, & Collective Miseries 17:30 - On COVID vaccine mandates & lockdowns 24:30 - Apathy & our quest for meaning in COVID times 35:00 - Transcending the Story of Separation 40:00 - What's the true purpose of wealth? 49:20 - Redefining human progress, and the secret to living a good life 53:00 - The ultimate key to advancing humanity Learn more from Charles Eisenstein: Website: https://charleseisenstein.org/ Instagram: @charles_eisenstein Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CharlesEisenstein-org Books: https://charleseisenstein.org/books/ Related links: The revised version of the Align Method book is now available with 22 brand-new exercises!

Charles is an essayist, speaker, and the author of several books including Sacred Economics, Climate: A New Story, and The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible. He has four sons and a little dog named Inka. He lives with wife and youngest son in Rhode Island. He tells me his garden and office are messy. I know you're going to love this conversation. We talk about changing our story from a Myth of Separation to a Story of Interbeing. We talk about Taoism, miracles, sacredness, success, happiness, breakdown, breakthrough, food production, gaslighting, love, death, trauma, raising kids, the matrix, and the joys of being a misfit. Oh, and there are jetskis and psychedelics in there as well. I first met Charles in 2012 at Yale, and then we crossed paths again at the Global Economic Visioning Summit at Bretton Woods in 2018, where Charles kicked off the event with an amazing double-act with Daniel Schmachtenberger, where they very movingly described their hopes and fears for our future. Charles is one of the smartest, most thoughtful people I know, who combines a sharp intellect with great compassion for humanity. He publishes thought-provoking essays on his website, at charleseisenstein.org.

On this episode of “Death in The Garden,” Jake and Maren interview renowned author Charles Eisenstein. Charles has written a number of incredibly impactful books, such as Sacred Economics, Ascent of Humanity, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, and, most recently, Climate: A New Story. He also writes incredible essays available on his website, such as “Extinction and the Revolution of Love” which is mentioned in the show. In this episode we discuss what Charles calls “The Story of Separation,” the myths (or metanarratives) that dictate how we see ourselves within the biosphere, the problems of modern environmentalism and “sustainability” movements, the importance of viewing the Earth as being alive, the pitfalls of reductionist thinking, and the complexity of morality with regards to death.

Today we have the great honour of speaking to someone who we have looked up to for many years, and who has influenced much of our thinking when it comes to communicating the climate crisis, how to speak to our friends and family about sustainability and the changes we must make, and also remembering that the heart can sometimes be a more powerful ally in this fight for a better world than anything else. Our guest is Charles Eistenstein, author, philosopher and social speaker. His book The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible was one of the fundamental reads for us here at Rêve En Vert, and his latest work, Climate A New Story, has helped us gain perspective about how we address this climate crisis in a way that leads with empathy and understanding rather than anger and division. Charles and Cora discuss how we find a way to approach a new sort of human collective, a better world, and how we can talk about climate change with our friends and families in a way that will inspire rather than frustrate one another to lead to all these results. This is a conversation that will get you both questioning and considering our mindsets and our lifestyles, and we hope that this will lead to some positive actions that we all can get on board with towards healing the divisions in the world we see today that are leading to the environmental crisis we all face. We would also highly suggest you check out Charles’s books and essays, which are in the show notes below. This is one of those soulful, deep conversations that we wish we would all have more of, and we very much hope it gets you thinking as much as it did us. https://charleseisenstein.org/books/ https://www.instagram.com/charles_eisenstein/ https://charleseisenstein.org/video/

The original, caring, and influential thinker Charles Eisenstein joins Terry to explore what’s really happening in this disorienting, liminal ordeal we find ourselves in — what he calls the “space between stories.” We confront the pattern of dehumanization we’re seeing across human culture, especially amidst our converging crises, and we consider what is required to support a pattern of sacralization — that continuously restores the sacredness of one another and the natural world through our listening, sensemaking, generosity, and relationships. Ultimately, we endeavor to expand our curiosity and play in a larger reality — with our minds and hearts more open to unknown forces and new possibilities considered “off limits” by dominant narratives. Charles Eisenstein's work focuses on themes of human culture, identity, systems change, and personal growth. He transmits profound clarity, disarming openmindedness, and deep care for the human future and that of the more-than- human world. Charles is the author of several books, including Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, and his newest book, Climate: A New Story. Two of his most recent & noteworthy essays are The Coronation and The Conspiracy Myth. Here are some of the questions we discuss in the episode: Does our real security come from what we have, or what we give away? Among all that’s considered “off limits” in culture, can we discover essential stories and information? How does the pervasive tendency to “find the enemy” tend to reduce the natural world to commodities and profit? How can each conversation we have be a sacred opportunity to restore one another’s humanity?

Charles is a speaker, writer and self-described “degrowth activist” who focuses on healing humanity and planet Earth. He is the author of several books including The Ascent of Humanity, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, and Climate: A New Story. More recently he explored the COVID-19 pandemic in two insightful essays, The Coronation and The Conspiracy Myth - both well worth your time. In this conversation with Charles we discuss: - The interconnectedness of health - Healing as a return to wholeness - Why we need to explore our unconscious beliefs and biases - COVID-19 and the various narratives being put forward - The role of viruses, bacteria and fungi in human evolution - How the “Story of Separation” has led to suffering, loneliness and poverty - How believing we're on "team good" leads to the endless quest for power and control - How myths play into the massive polarisation of society - How the pandemic could potentially be a pivot point in human history. From here we can choose another story - one of interdependence and love rather than fear and separation. - And soooooo much more… I hope you enjoy this episode. Please rate and review of you do.

Today's episode is brought to you by me going outside. That's right, this episode which focuses on environmentalism, the controversy over the Michael Moore-produced “Planet of the Humans”, and the need for our culture to move past its divisiveness, well, it was all recorded from the Great Outdoors. Not only do I touch on that movie, but I also reference an excellent episode of The C-Realm Podcast, whose name is what the B&P Realm was inspired by, as well as the book “Climate: A New Story” by Charles Eisenstein and a series of blog posts I wrote about climate change in fall 2018. And of course, you get two more chapters from my 2015 “The Teacher and the Tree Man.” Oh, and in the middle of all that goodness, another edition of “The Downside of...” It's another instant classic … indeed!
It's another Shortie with Jade and Catie!This week, we plate up an assortment of our favourite books, films and thinkers. In the spirit of sharing life-changing and mind-altering resources (books > drugs), we chat about our bibles of regenerative living, homesteading, futuresteading, farming and thinking - that we reckon you'll love, too.Oh, and having a buddy to read along with is a powerful way to absorb and discuss the merits of new knowledge, solidify it, and develop a shared mental library.The audio is a little scratchy in parts thanks to recording in two separate locations, but we know you'll understand! Social distancing and all that.And one book we didn't mention - which was totally remiss but rectifiable right here, right now - is “The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction To Natural Farming" by Masanobu Fukuoka. It's a foundational must-read for anyone wanting to live like tomorrow matters. It teaches you to think. Not what to think but to think in the first place, and that's a bloody grand spot to begin.

Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker and author of several books including Climate: A New Story, Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. Charles and I set out to have a discussion embracing as many paradoxes, taboos and uncertainties as possible, and I think we did just that. We discuss the addictive nature of control, the similarities between skeptics and believers, the role we play in writing personal and collective narratives, the inevitable crisis that precedes any lasting change and the importance of seeing our lives within the context of much greater and more meaningful cycles.

Our guest this week is Charles Eisenstein, a teacher, public speaker, gift economy advocate, and writer who focuses on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.About CharlesHe is the author of several books including The Ascent of Humanity (2007), Sacred Economics (2011), The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible (2013) and Climate - A New Story (2018). Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme, but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunities to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.His on-line writings have generated a vast following; he speaks frequently at conferences and other events, and gives numerous interviews on radio and podcasts. He also occasionally writes for the "Comment is Free" section of The Guardian and The Huffington Post on topics including genetic modification and the patenting of seeds and debt. He is a contributing editor at the website Reality Sandwich. In advance of appearing on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday on July 16, 2017, Eisenstein wrote "The Age of We Need Each Other."

An example is the fact that how the world works kind of revolves around money. We often operate based on what we have to do and what we can afford to do. A person’s survival is highly dependent on money. He wanted to understand money better so he could understand society, the human being, and himself. He feels the divide between money and spirituality is part of the problem and that the two need to be unified with money being the crux of the unification. His experience has been that money always seems to pull him back into a person that he no longer wants to be and it brings out his worst impulses, and he wants to look at that and be who he can be, so he looks into what role money can play in a person’s evolution.“If there’s anything harder to bring into the sacred realm, it would be money” - Charles EisensteinThe Gift EconomyIt comes from a basic impulse that one is offering something as a gift to someone, and if it’s precious to that someone, then any amount of money that that someone charges is going to be too little, because the gift is infinitely valuable, and so putting a price on it would devalue it. Any amount the person receiving the gift charges would also be too much because that would put it behind a paywall. When the price of something is too little and too much, one can’t set the price. He applies the same with his online courses where he lets the users determine the price of the courses. That takes the pressure off him to provide value and it allows generosity to come in, and for him to be funded without having to compel people to give the funding to him.“We have to explore and share with each other how we’re doing it and be generous with our judgments of those who are trying these experiments” - Charles EisensteinHow Money is Created in Our SystemThis refers to how money is created through the lending of financial institutions to individuals and corporations. Banks lend to people who will pay back and they focus on lending to people who will make more money when they get a loan so they can pay it back with interest. For example, if someone wants to protect an ecosystem, the bank will determine that there will be no money to be made there, but if a person intends to pave over an ecosystem and build a strip mall, the bank will determine that they can pay back the loan they get. That demonstrates that the system is geared towards endless growth of the monetized realm simply because of the way money is created, which puts people into competition because at any given moment, there’s always more debt than there is money. Money is created through lending and there is always interest in it. When a million dollars is created, one point five million dollars of debt is created. And so people are always in competition with each other because there’s never enough.“The system is geared towards endless growth of the monetized realm simply because of the way money is created” - Charles EisensteinThe Scarcity and Competition That Enslaves PeoplePeople never get the opportunity to tune into alignment because they live in so much competition and a scarcity created by the fact that everything they have is dependent on their ability to pay their debts. This is one of the biggest limits on people’s capacity to follow their dreams because they feel enslaved to their mortgages, rent payments, student loans, and other forms of financial debt. Competition is not bad because it allows people to test their limits and it can be a journey of self-revelation. Charles is not anti-competition but his concern is that it pervades realms of human interaction that should not be competitive.“In the inter-connected sense of self, the purpose of life is different. It’s no longer to win security but it is to give of our gifts” - Charles EisensteinHow To Interact With Money and LifeThere’s no general formula for how to do that, and skillful means necessary to take the next step. It’s not an all or nothing thing, it’s about what’s the natural next step towards the future that’s calling us. It’s almost like we can sense that future on the horizon and that there’s a path that goes to it, and there are many other paths converging in the present, each of them leading to a different future. We might have an experience where we witnessed true generosity and cooperation, or the magnificence of our own gifts and have that feeling of “This is what I’m here to do”, and our world could be built on that but then it just passes and we’re back to normal, but it doesn’t feel like a trick of the universe to temporarily comfort someone from the grim reality that we’re in. It feels more like an outreach from the future to the present. We don’t need to know or map the entire path. All we need to do is recognize the next step which comes from new information that comes from different experiences which awaken something that recognizes that it’s true, and recognizing it is a reprogramming which then enables one to see an opportunity that they would otherwise not have seen.“We have these moments of our lives that show us what’s possible” - Charles EisensteinThe Current Shift in ConversationWhat opens conversation up to extend beyond the bounds of normal is where normal isn’t working very well especially if there’s some kind of crisis. Even before COVID-19 hit, we were a society in growing crisis with a financial and health crisis on the horizon. With the Coronavirus dealing such a massive blow to normalcy, all kinds of ideas are entering the public discourse. If someone for example suggested the grounding of all commercial aircraft because of climate change, people would say that that’s preposterous, but it happened because of the Coronavirus. That demonstrates what humanity can do when we’re united in a common course. When we have unity and coherence, we can do anything. None of the world’s problems are technically difficult to solve because the difficulty is purely political. “As normal stops working, then ideas that had been off the table are brought back onto the table” - Charles EisensteinWhy There’s More PolarizationDeep at the root of the crisis of civilization is a crisis of belonging where because of the dissolving of community, people don’t know who they are because our identity is built from our relationships (because we’re not separate selves). A few generations ago, it used to be that in most places on earth, one would know every single person that they saw. One would know every land form and the stories behind it. People were connected and at home. The modern economy, modern technology, and the labeling and categorizing of everything by science have all pushed us apart in various ways, and replaced our dependencies on each other with dependencies on vast and personal processes, and destroyed the stories that told us who we are and why we are here. Without those relationships and stories, we have a hunger to belong, feel at home, and for identity. One way to source that is through identification with an in-group or an idea, in such a way that one can know themselves as good and right, because they have the right ideas and opinions. Therefore, if someone attacks us for our ideas, it feels like a personal attack. “As community breaks down people become more and more susceptible to substitutes that make one feel connected like cults, fascism, or consumerism” - Charles Eisenstein See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
“Covid-19 is like a rehab intervention that breaks the addictive hold of normality.”Charles EisensteinIf there is a silver lining to this unique moment the world is currently enduring, it is the opportunity to snap the denial that obscures a certain indelible truth -- that humans exist separate from each other -- and the biosphere that supports all life.Like an addict's moment of clarity, we are awakening to our intrinsic interconnectedness with others -- and the world at large. With this humbling epiphany, it is now incumbent upon us all to rethink, reimagine, and recreate the story we tell ourselves about who we are -- and who we aspire to be.This is an initiation. An opportunity to reset. A call to reclaim our inherent divinity as spiritual beings having a human experience in intimate relationship with every living thing. An opportunity to expand our awareness beyond self-interest and elevate the collective consciousness -- so that we can chart a more compassionate, sustainable and community-empowered normal going forward.One of the deepest integrative thinkers active today, today's guest is a voice both crucial and integral to this conversation.Meet Charles Eisenstein.A speaker, writer, and social philosopher focusing on themes of human cultural evolution, economics and consciousness, Charles is the author of several books, including Climate - A New Story, Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, and The Ascent of Humanity.A graduate of Yale University, where he acquired degrees in both mathematics and philosophy, Charles is a counter-culture intellectual and proponent of alternative political and economic narratives that combine ecology, biology, philosophy & spirituality to challenge our current system. You can find his essays, videos, courses and podcasts at charleseisenstein.org. Recognizing the delicacy of this moment, I’ve been very careful about who I invite on the show to discuss it.The pandemic has cast a cosmic panic I am not interested in amplifying. Nor do I feel it appropriate to deliver an empty dose of conjectural optimism.I don’t hold myself out as knowing what exactly is happening. I don’t think any of us do.I can’t give you a prediction or a prescription.What I can offer is perception. Some perspective. And a broader aperture to reckon with the many ramifications of this most unusual global event.Last week I devoured a recent essay by Charles entitled The Coronation. I found it to be one of the most insightful and well-considered long reads on how to think expansively about our current moment. It’s a piece that has stayed with me -- and the motivation behind today's exchange.In the vein of my exchanges with Dr. Zach Bush, this is a thoughtful and at times metaphysical conversation about completely redefining our definition of normal.It's about the potential energy of this shared experience to unite humanity around reinventing society wholesale. It’s about asking questions. It’s about challenging the dominant narrative. Taking a hard look at our institutional failures. And the systems that perpetuate them. But more than anything, this a conversation about standing in our fear. As we delicately wade through the muddy waters of media calamity, conspiracy theories, and fake news, it's about learning how to listen. How to feel. And how to excite the senses around the quiet call that change is actualizing. Without minimizing the severity of what is and what is to come, this truly is our opportunity to cast a new world.May Charles Eisenstein be our gentle steward.Audio Note: This podcast was recorded remotely.

My 3 mantras for 2020 and my meandering story relating to the 3rd; Extrovert/introvert and MBTI; the geography of Japan and the Pacific Rim; weather and climate change (how I see it here in Japan); Charles Eisenstein, his book Climate: A New Story, war is over Bernie!; my insecurity about self-promotion; a few comments about Soberish posts (weed!, talking foxes, Riders on the Storm!); Jessa's post about her DL about re-writing roles to make Trump a good guy, my response, my dream about victim/abuser/rescuer dynamic ending; my dystopian satire short story about fire departments who set fires and then blame the citizens; a bunch of gratitude; timelines of each country regarding coronavirus madness (focused on japan);, Apocalypse as revealing of our systems and ourselves and how it connects to our vulnerability. Phew! Dem sum notes!
Today on the show, Rob and I discuss a book that tackles ecosystemic problems in a holistic, innovative, and sober way. Climate is highly recommended to anyone out there suffering from feelings of hopelessness or despair with regard to the environment. In this episode, we cover: the problem with lowering carbon emissions, techno-optimism, climate catastrophism, battling despair, Gaia theory, regenerative agriculture, and the solution to the "overpopulation" problem.
This week, we welcome to the show philosopher and public intellectual, Charles Eisenstein. Charles is the author of a number of important books including Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. He joins us today to talk about his most recent book, Climate: A New Story. Along the way we tackle many challenging and thorny topics, such as solutionism, polarisation, despair and how to best think with our ecological crisis so that we may return to flourishing. Excellent stuff. Show Notes Charles's book, Climate: A New Story. Charles's website. What If We Survive?
I'm pleased today to share my conversation with visionary philosopher Charles Eisenstein. He is the author of numerous books, including the recent Climate: A New Story. I first came across Charles' work over 10 years ago with his book The Ascent of Humanity, where he articulates the deep story of separation that lives at the heart of modern civilization. From there, he wrote Sacred Economics, which inspired me to reach out to him and collaborate on a short that to this day remains one of my most popular films. Since then, I've been privileged to call Charles a friend and ally in weaving the story of re-union - what he calls: the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. A few years ago, Charles developed his own interview series exploring the new story of masculinity. In this episode, I learn what he brought back from his journey, how he understands the role of the true king, and humanity's coming initiation to cross the threshold from Mother to Lover Earth.

Our Saint Louis Zoo is in the World Class of institutions of this kind. Make one click into the Zoo's Mission section and you'll find a strong, clear STL Zoo statement on Climate Change. Animal areas, especially the Zoo habitat of Kali the Polar Bear, interpret the meaning of Climate Change for visitors in ways that make connections between our human experience, the animals we admire and love, and Earth systems that support us all. But the Zoo doesn't stop there. The STL Zoo Climate Communications Initiative is training Zoo staff, volunteers and community partners in a science-based set of frameworks to purposefully, actively converse with the public about Climate Change. Hannah Petri, the Zoo's Manager of Docents and Interpreters leads this effort, and talks with Earthworms host Jean Ponzi about taking up this crucial topic with our fellow human beings. CLIMATE SOLUTIONS DAY at Saint Louis Zoo is Sunday September 29! Source of these training materials is NNOCCI - the National Network for Oceanic and Climate Change Information.

PR pro James Hoggan has decoded misinformation campaigns, and researched how humans learn, respond and can be manipulated. He's traveled through the "perfect storm" of climate communications, and explored what spurs us to become aggressively close-minded. These voyages into realms of despair have not dimmed his curious spirit, his determination to do, be, and communicate better. Photos: Earthworms guest James Hoggan.

Our conversation draws from Hoggan's book I'm Right and You're an Idiot - the toxic state of public discourse and how to clean it up (2nd edition 2019, New Society Publisher).

Mid-way along his marathon cycling trip from CA to MA, Tim Oey is educating humans of all ages about: Oceans, Plastic, Climate Change and Kids. His two wheeling fleet travel mode packs everything he needs, with (as is his life practice) ZERO WASTE. Tim's stop here with KDHX Earthworms followed three talks this morning at our neighboring Performing Arts Academy. He's on track for his goal of 180 talks in 95 days. Some are presentations, many are conversations. All are likely - as you can hear - thoughtful, encouraging, and gently intense about serious stuff.

Most of us know that our current economy does not play in our favor...When we choose to monetize all facets of society we disintegrate community and starve ourselves of our basic emotional and spiritual needs through the commodification of our values. So why do we keep fueling an economic system of domination, deception, and separation when very few of us would be brazen enough to proclaim that we are supported by it? In this week’s conversation, Charles Eisenstein and Ian MacKenzie join Ayana to discuss what features are inherently built into this money system, how economics does not have to be a merciless system, the importance of universal basic income, what it looks like to step into gift giving, and how we can hold healthy boundaries in the process. Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and writer focusing on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution. Charles’ books cover much ground: Climate: A New Story makes a case for a wholesale reimagining of the framing, tactics, and goals we employ in our journey to heal from ecological destruction. The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, offers a highly distilled exposition of our society’s transition in its deep stories. Sacred Economics explores the transition as it applies to the world of money, economy, and gift and The Ascent of Humanity traces multiple crises — ecological, medical, educational, political, and more — to a common origin. Ian Mackenzie is a filmmaker and writer, who has spent over a decade exploring and amplifying the seeds of emergent culture. His films include Occupy Love (co-produced with director Velcrow Ripper), and more recently Amplify Her, which follows the rise of women in the electronic music scene). His focus covers a range of diverse topics & subjects, though all fall under his mission of exploring the intersection of eros, emergence, and village. So many of us are aching for gift giving in our personal lives but remain challenged by the mindset of existential scarcity. Let this conversation be a vessel to guide you in the age of transition, in an age where we must simultaneously starve a system that is not serving us while creating our own nourishment and sustainability on the periphery of crisis. Charles and Ian encourage us to step more into the “gift” to radically transform our selves, community, and the systems we build.

Charles Eisenstein has been challenging my thinking for about 15 years now, but never more so than with his latest book, Climate: A New Story. Basically, Eisenstein argues that focusing all our environmental activism on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming is a bad idea.
Our guest in this episode is Charles Eisenstein, the author of "Sacred Economics" and his most recent book "Climate: A New Story". Charles explores deep civilization narratives and mythologies, and connections between economics, politics and spirituality. We talk about why the current narrative of climate change is not working, and how to create conditions for a deep change on the personal and collective level. This interview comes out in two parts. In part one we talk about transitioning from a reductionist view of climate change to a holistic, system-based view of the living planet. We also discuss our civilization and our stories from an archetypal perspective, and talk about how to adapt to the future. In part two we cover the basics of the gift economy, the concepts of economic de-growth and demonetization, and what it takes to implement these changes in our societies. We also talk about restoring the wealth of time, relationships and meaning. In This Episode of Future Thinkers: - The current climate narrative, and why it isn't working - The reductionist mindset and the climate crisis - The war mentality and externalizing energy - What needs to change about the way human civilization solves problems - How to change the mindset from materialistic to holistic, and the role of psychedelics - Why young generations default to a more sophisticated consciousness than the older generations - What are the concrete steps to make a change and adapt to the future - Archetypal perspective on civilization and the completion of the Hero phase - The important social change initiatives around the world - Why cryptocurrencies are "the old story in disguise" - The gift economy and the technological ways to restore the gift culture - The concepts of economic de-growth and demonetization - Changing the mindset from economic growth to growing in connections, time and meaning - Stepping into the King and Queen archetypes as a civilization Show notes: http://www.futurethinkers.org/81 Join the Future Thinkers Community on Discord: https://www.futurethinkers.org/discord This episode is sponsored by: http://www.futurethinkers.org/qualia Recommend a sponsor for Future Thinkers: http://www.futurethinkers.org/recommend Support us on Patreon: http://www.futurethinkers.org/support

In this powerful conversation, we speak with Charles Eisenstein. Charles is a teacher, author, speaker, deep-thinker, and a good-hearted human being who asks great questions. His work challenges many of the deep stories and narratives that modern culture holds around economics, the environment, masculinity and more. His books include Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, and the recently released Climate: A New Story. In this conversation, we cover a wide terrain of topics– looking at the connections between how we relate to the body and how we relate to the natural world; how to look at deeper causes rather than only addressing symptoms when it comes to challenges like climate change, racism, or misogyny. We also talk about the importance of not-knowing; about how to work with burn-out and overwhelm while seeing clearly the reality of our situation. We delve deep into these heavy issues and end up in laughter, hope, and a fresh sense of possibility. Join us!
Social philosopher and mathematician Charles Eisenstein takes on the issue of our time, in terms that may give humankind another way to get our minds, hearts and action around Climate Change. Drawing from Eisenstein's new book Climate, A New Story, this conversation with Earthworms host Jean Ponzi offers perspective, options and much-needed hope for our species capacity to course-correct relative to the systems that support life on Earth, including us.

Season 3 has come to an end! In this episode, Laura goes through each episode of Season 3 to explain some of the backstory and what is talked about with each guest. There is also some thoughts on Charles Eisenstein's new book "Climate: A New Story" and the Juliana v. U.S. lawsuit.
In this segment, Charles Eisenstein discusses the themes and ideas presented in his upcoming book ‘Climate: A New Story,’ a book that "flips the script on climate change," making the "case for a wholesale reimagining of the framing, tactics, and goals we employ in our journey to heal from ecological destruction,” in which the global climate crisis ultimately stems from. Charles points to what the global climate crisis, and the ecological crisis more broadly, is asking of us. Is humanity meant for self-destruction (an evolutionary cul-de-sac), or is this crisis pointing to something else entirely? Can we develop a right relationship and role within the living systems of this planet by beginning the sacred process of healing from the wounds we have wrought on our long journey to this moment? Are we going to continue to live within and act on behalf of a paradigm that disconnects us from the living planet, alienates and disconnects us from each other and the land we live on, and rationalizes the ongoing maintenance of a global economic system that demands infinite growth in order to exist? The climate crisis, and the ecological crisis more broadly, points to the deeper crisis of meaning humanity is coming up against in this time we find ourselves in. The stories we have been telling ourselves about our role on this planet no longer make sense, for very obvious reasons. The abrupt changes in the global climate system speaks to this reality. Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and writer that focuses on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution. He is the host of the podcast ‘A New and Ancient Story,’ a podcast that engages in topics that “revolve around concepts of interbeing and ‘technologies of reunion’ — anything drawing from and contributing to a new story, including material, social, psychological, agricultural, healing, and educational ‘technologies.’” He is the author of several books that expound on these topics, including ‘The Yoga of Eating,’ ‘The Ascent of Humanity,’ ’Sacred Economics,’ ’The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,’ and most recently ‘Climate: A New Story.’ Learn more about Charles and his work at his website: https://charleseisenstein.net Learn more and purchase ’Climate: A New Story’ here: http://bit.ly/ClimateNewStory This is a segment of episode #141 of Last Born In The Wilderness “Initiation: A New Story Of Climate w/ Charles Eisenstein.” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWeisenstein WEBSITE: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com PATREON: http://bit.ly/LBWPATREON DONATE: Paypal: http://bit.ly/LBWPAYPAL Ko-Fi: http://bit.ly/LBWKOFI FOLLOW & LISTEN: SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/LBWSOUNDCLOUD iTunes: http://bit.ly/LBWITUNES Google Play: http://bit.ly/LBWGOOGLE Stitcher: http://bit.ly/LBWSTITCHER RadioPublic: http://bit.ly/LBWRADIOPUB YouTube: http://bit.ly/LBWYOUTUBE SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: http://bit.ly/LBWFACEBOOK Twitter: http://bit.ly/LBWTWITTER Instagram: http://bit.ly/LBWINSTA
Our guest for this episode is Charles Eisenstein — public speaker and author of several influential books, including ’Sacred Economics,’ ’The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,’ and most recently ‘Climate: A New Story.’ In this interview, I ask Charles to discuss the themes and ideas presented in his upcoming book ‘Climate: A New Story,’ a book that "flips the script on climate change," making the "case for a wholesale reimagining of the framing, tactics, and goals we employ in our journey to heal from ecological destruction," in which the global climate crisis ultimately stems from.☀︎ As someone deeply concerned about ecological crisis unfolding on this planet, I asked Charles expound on his understanding of what the planetary crisis is asking of us as a collective and as individual members of the human species. Are we going to continue to live within and act on behalf of a paradigm that disconnects us from the living planet, alienates and disconnects us from each other and the land we live on, and rationalizes the ongoing maintenance of a global economic system that demands infinite growth in order to exist? The climate crisis, and the ecological crisis more broadly, points to the deeper crisis of meaning humanity is coming up against in this time we find ourselves in. The stories we have been telling ourselves about our role on this planet no longer make sense, for very obvious reasons. The abrupt changes in the global climate system speaks to this reality. Is humanity meant for self-destruction (an evolutionary cul-de-sac), or is this crisis pointing to something else entirely? Can we develop a right relationship and role within the living systems of this planet by beginning the sacred process of healing from the wounds we have wrought on our long journey to this moment? We discuss this and more in this episode. Charles Eisenstein and his work has deeply influenced my thinking and understanding of the nature of the converging crises we are experiencing in this time we all share. I have to thank Charles for taking the time to speak with me for this episode, and to Marie Goodwin for setting this interview up. Charles is a teacher, speaker, and writer that focuses on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.

In times of uncertainty and transition, finding a semblance of peace in the unfolding can be difficult. There have been many times on my own journey where I've questioned my choices, even though it seemed like the right thing to do at the moment. Any time I'm in the midst of change, or speak with someone who is, I revisit one particular episode of the show and even offer it as sort of a prescription for those finding their way. A while back I had Charles Eisenstein on to talk about the space between stories. Charles is a super modest guy and will even tell you himself that "I know that my books and other work comes from a deep, inspired source, but that source is not me! It is more like I'm connecting to a field of knowledge, or to a story that wants to be told. This knowledge is as much my teacher as it is anyone else's. I'm kind of ordinary, compared to some of the amazing people I keep meeting. I'm just as much in the learning as anyone else, wandering as best I can toward “the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible,” encumbered by the programming and the wounds of our civilization." Charles Eisenstein is a speaker and writer focusing on themes of human culture and identity. He is the author of several books, including Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, and Climate: A New Story which hits the shelves September 18, 2018. This short episode dives into a few concepts I found very useful when navigating the space between stories, which at times can feel like a smashing of an old identity and the land grab for who we will become. This episode is a clip from our previous conversation. We talk about True surrender, letting go, and trusting the process of life Understanding different aspects of letting go of the old story like regret, going back to the familiar, being in utter stillness, and getting excited about one thing after another and dropping them How no action is insignificant The illusion of power and impact How the heart and the mind have their own opinion The concept of morphic resonance
