Alyssa Calder Hulme: [00:00:00] Welcome to the women of ambition podcast. I'm your host, Alyssa Culler Hume. And today we have a fantastic guest on our show. Nina Simons is co founder and chief relationship officer at Bioneers and leads it's every woman leadership program throughout her career, spanning the nonprofit, social entrepreneurship, corporate, and. Philanthropic sectors. Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders across disciplines, race, class, age, and orientation to create conditions for mutual learning, trust, and leadership development. She co edited Moonrise, The Power of Women Leading from the Heart and authored Nature, Culture, and the Sacred. A Woman Listens for Leadership, which is the book we're going to talk about here today, was released as a second edition in 2022 with an accompanying discussion guide and embodied. Practice. Nina received the Goy Peace Award with her husband and partner, Kenny Ausubel for pioneering work to promote nature inspired innovations for restoring the earth and our [00:01:00] human community, which is pretty incredible. So thank you so much for being here, Nina.  Nina Simons: Thank you, Alyssa. It's great to be with you. Um,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: this is your beautiful book. You can see it behind her if you're watching the video. Um, it's beautiful. This artwork is fantastic. Um, and I, I'll just start by saying that, you know, I, I get reached out to by a lot of PR teams and different people wanting me to promote the material. And, I'm really picky, but yours is the first one that I, I read and I really loved and am deciding to share it because, um, I think what your, your message here is, is really incredible. It's really holistic. And I think it's something that we really need to talk about. So thank you so much for, for me, for writing this book and publishing it. And. Talking about being like a feminist as a white woman who's trying to, um, decolonize perspectives, understand privilege, um, and also, [00:02:00] um, someone who's been in that space for so long. You have a lot of wisdom to share and a lot of experience. And I, I'm just really grateful that you're putting that out in the world and being vulnerable. So thank  Nina Simons: you. Oh, it's my honor and privilege. I feel really grateful to get to do it. Thank you, Elisa. Okay,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: so, I, so this book is about women's leadership, um, and you talk about it from your own personal experiences and then in working with other, with other leaders in, In lots of different communities, um, can we start maybe talking about, uh, what Bioneers is and where that word comes from, because I was really intrigued by that. Nina Simons: Sure. Sure. Well, the word was coined by my husband and partner because it's a contraction of biological pioneers. Okay. And the idea behind it was he started looking to find really innovative and effective [00:03:00] approaches. To healing our relationships with ourselves, each other and the earth and what he found was that some of the great innovators out there, many of them were looking to nature to heal nature and so there were nature sourced solutions and that's where the word Bioneers came from. But. Bioneers started as an annual gathering. Um, we started it in 1990 and over the years it has grown and grown and evolved tremendously so that now there is an annual face to face in person conference of about a year. 2500 or 3000 people, but there is also an incredible wealth of media that we put out. So we produce a radio series that wins awards many years and, um, a great newsletter and a lot of what motivated Bioneers in the first place was the recognition. [00:04:00] That the mainstream media tends to carry the bad news, but not the good news of the world. That's being born. And especially in this time when there's so much destruction and violence and coming apart, we all need to remember to give some of our time and energy to the world. That's being born because it's incredibly uplifting and inspiring and full of role models. And, and, um, that's what Pioneers is. And, um, what else did you ask me? I think that was the main question. No,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: it, it was. Um, one of the things that you talk about in your book is the difference between a Bioneer and a Pioneer. And how as in the Bioneer space, you are looking to To create with the world instead of imagining it as a blank space that doesn't have, um, life already living and I don't know, I'm not articulating it very well. Your book says it so much more [00:05:00] beautifully, but, um, co creating in that world with indigenous people with local knowledge with local plants and flora and fauna and all of those things. You speak maybe a little bit. to that? And, and why is that a revolutionary concept to an American white person?  Nina Simons: Oh, that's a great question. Well, and it's interesting as you frame it, it very much parallels my exploration with leadership because, um, what I've realized as a woman with all the privileges that having white skin gifts me in this country, um, and a fierce determination to become a better uh, anti racist, a better white ally, um, and to learn deeply what it means to do that. Um, part of what I've learned is that we actually need to invest in our own humility, and I think that's parallel to what you were asking because, um, [00:06:00] you know, Western civilization Tends to have us think of nature as resources and in fact an indigenous worldview thinks of nature as relatives And imagine how differently you would relate knowing that the trees and the Soil and the mycelium and the, you know, all of the elements are your relatives, rather than just resources to be mined or extracted or used. Um, so it really is about, you know, for me, what I've come to understand from all these years of immersing myself in both the challenges we face and. This amazing fount of solutions has been that, um, that the solutions we need are largely already in form all around us. And that what we need to do is quiet [00:07:00] our egos and our tendency toward hubris to learn from the allies that surround us. And that actually includes, um, people of different backgrounds. People of different classes and ages and orientations that I think a lot of what we're facing right now is a need to transform our culture by shifting our culture within ourselves first so that we relate to difference as a virtue rather than as an obstacle to be overcome. Alyssa Calder Hulme: Yeah, I, I love that in your book, you talk about a shift in culture and cultural change from a me to a we, and I, I really, I think that's such a succinct, fantastic way to, to talk about that. Um, and so I want to talk now about. In your book, you talk about leadership and being labeled as a leader and kind of your initial, um, being repulsed by that title and kind of your [00:08:00] transformation through that. So I would love to, I'd love to dig into that and then how your position and privilege as a leader has allowed you to exercise that humility and grow and learn with other people with maybe less privilege. Um, so, so talk to us a little bit about. Um, that stigma of leadership and, and maybe in conjunction with ambition, because I think it's a very similar stigma when a woman is trying or is in that place. Nina Simons: I do too. And it's been interesting to think about in relation to your podcast and recognize that, you know, social scientists have long observed that in our culture, when we raise boys, we raise them to crow when they achieve something. Whereas when we raise girls, we tell them not to crow, we tell them to be silent, to hold it to themselves. And really the models of virtue that [00:09:00] boys and girls are raised with are very, very different. And what I found When I was first called a leader, um, I was about 40 years old and I, I really didn't like it. I knew I was supposed to be flattered, but really I felt like it painted a target on my back. It was not a title I had ever aspired to. And. I knew from Bioneers that the earth is calling us all to be leaders now. And so I had to figure out how to reconcile those two things. And as I started convening women leaders, they would all come together immediately disavowing that they ever thought of themselves as leaders. So I found that it was a bigger issue than just me. And I think, you know, it relates to the, what you were just citing of the transition from a me culture to a weak culture, because really, um, I've done two books [00:10:00] now exploring leadership and how we are all co inventing and co creating new models of leadership. And, you know, I did that First, by exploring all of the talks from all of the leaders I most admired at Bioneers, and then deconstructing them to find patterns of how were they similar, and how were they different than my mental model, and, uh, and what I found was that they were all motivated from the heart, not the head. They were motivated by an internal passion to serve or defend or protect something. And not by a title or a graduate degree, um, they were often people who stepped up to do something when they didn't even know exactly what they could do. And it wasn't until they were in it that it began to reveal. And, And they [00:11:00] were, they were also people who, whose concept of leadership was involved sharing authority and sharing power. And so, you know, increasingly, I came to appreciate the Gloria Steinem thing of leaders are those who lift each, who lift others up. No, and, and as I explored that, I realized how important it was to both have your own sense of dignity and self love, but to have that balanced with humility so that you can recognize the gifts and talents and those around you and generously support them without feeling Threatened by the zero sum game of patriarchy that if someone else is good at something it means you're not so uh So I mean this latest book is sort of the latest Evolution of my thinking about leadership. It also talks about a lot of the [00:12:00] data about Women throughout the world and how their leadership is affecting change And, and how much, um, the research is proving that when women lead, everything gets better, you know, and so I think of the old model of leadership as an I model because it was driven by ego and personal achievement, you know, and, and I think of the new model that we're all co creating as a we model. Yeah,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: I love that. And that, I mean, it blends so well into my research on ambition, um, in terms of, you know, when we're looking at gender roles where men are socialized to be individualistic and to be competitive and to be climbing and, um, are expected to be in those leadership positions, but from that ego place and from that, um, Stamp of approval of a title or, uh, income or [00:13:00] education or whatever it is. And now women are, are exercising in these places, but we're showing up in new ways and we're showing up with different gifts and with different values and priorities. And then when we're given the title of leader, it doesn't sit right, or it feels wrong. Um, And I, and, or ambition, I ask people to be on the show and they're like, Oh, I'm not ambitious. I'm like, well, let's talk about it. Cause I think you might be. And I think that maybe what you're scared of is actually some of the values that people have linked with those words that, that don't fit. Um, yeah, I love, I, one of the things I love about your book is that you talk and cite so many different. Women and groups and, uh, people from all over the world and talk about how their collaborative community based relational practices and different values are really starting to change the world and how the power of the [00:14:00] grassroots movements across the world and how they are. Are changing our society. Um, how as a leader, uh, with a platform, um, I know you've done a lot of work to create leadership spaces, uh, that account for differences in, um, Class and race and lots of different perspectives and places like that. What was it like to start engaging in some of that work to try and make your spaces more equitable and accessible to people who have been systematically disenfranchised?  Nina Simons: Well, you know, there was a pivotal moment in my learning about that, Alyssa, when I read a book by a woman named Linda Tar Whalen called Women Lead the Way, and what she cites in that book is that until any minority Has reached at least 30 percent in a group, they [00:15:00] don't feel flanked enough to fully show up. And that was revelatory to me and my co facilitators. And at that moment, we agreed that we would set a minimum of 30 percent women of color in our trainings and that we would have a woman of color on our facilitation team. So that one third of the facilitation team was, was a person of color and everything shifted dramatically as soon as we did that. Um, You know, I think in a nutshell, it was in some ways scary to me to embark on that steep learning curve, but in other ways I felt really compelled to do it, and in retrospect, I feel really proud of myself that I embraced it so fully, and that in fact, I've reached a point in my life where I have Profound friendships and [00:16:00] relationships with women from all walks of life, and I feel like it's gifted me, you know, one of the things I think, Elisa, about this work is that people often talk about how hard it is, but they don't often talk about how rewarding it is. And I have found it to be some of the most rewarding work in my life. And it's gifted me some opportunities to experience in an embodied way what Dr. Martin Luther King called Beloved Community. And there's nothing like it, you know. It also helped me to understand Why the patriarchy has been so invested in socializing us to be in competition with each other rather than an alliance with each other. Because I think one of the most powerful things in the world is women in deep intentional alliance who can grow each other's leadership, [00:17:00] um, faster, better, deeper than anything else I've ever seen. So that's, that's some conditioning to get over. Yeah,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: absolutely. I know so many white feminist women of my generation are trying to, uh, be allies and do anti racism work, and there is so much, so much work left to be done. And then, you know, at some point, there comes a time when it's time to start actually enacting some of those things we're learning, and I, it's scary to move from a learning place to an action place, and then it's, I mean, Speaking for myself, like it's vulnerable to try and reach out and, and start that inclusive journey because it will most certainly involve some direct correction and education from the people around me. And, um, [00:18:00] I think what you're saying, it is a very vulnerable thing to, to learn something and then to try and change an organization and to, to make that big shift of who are we inviting and who are we putting in those positions of power and making those shifts. And I see it happening. And, you know, there are all kinds of companies with different quotas and they're trying to get certain rates of leadership in different areas. Um, it sounds like you did it. Fairly quickly and a steep learning curve, as you say, how did you, uh, so one of the phrases in your book is, uh, discomfort, resilience, learned, like that's part of that humility and letting go, um, allowing to be uncomfortable and to be educated and to continue to grow and listen to other people. What was that like? And, uh, you talk about. You know, getting feedback about cultural appropriation and, and [00:19:00] those types of things. Can you speak to that process and the humility or learning  Nina Simons: curve? Yeah. I mean, I think, I think one of the things that it requires is really coming face to face with having been raised by a culture that is deeply embedded in white supremacy. And so, you know, when you face that, when I face that in myself, it causes me to look at the stereotypes I carry, you know, my assumptions that someone may know less than me because they have a different background or a different color of skin. Um, and in fact, The more that the doing has taught me, I mean, I think studying and learning with other white people is really important and really necessary, but also, um, I think it's taught me a kind of [00:20:00] humility to understand that, you know, I'll give you an example. Um, early in my women's leadership work, I remember saying to a room of mixed women that I was raised in a home where anger was not expressed. And as a result, I didn't really know how to have a healthy relationship to anger and that I suspected that that might be true for many or most women. And I had an African American woman immediately push back and say, Not true in our culture. You know, I, I was raised to express my anger in a great and healthy and strong and quick way. And I thought, Wow, okay. Well, that's something I have to learn from you, you know, that's great. Um, so I think Let's see I think the other thing about it that I want to say and I I write about this in a longer essay in the book is that it's one thing to [00:21:00] learn about white supremacy and the racist history of our nation from your head. And it's another thing to feel it in your heart. And some of the hardest anti racism training experiences I've ever had has been witnessing other white people only respond from their heads. And they either get defensive or they have a rationale or, but But the truth is, um, we are living among people who are experiencing painful events due to the racism deeply embedded in our culture every single day, many, many times a day, and sometimes it's it involves fear for the life of their Children, you know, um, and. And so it requires really extending your empathy to somebody else's experience, and similarly, [00:22:00] as I've learned about Indigenous peoples and the horrors that we have inflicted on them, that this nation has, um, I find myself having tremendous amounts of empathy and compassion, and And then the trick is, how do you turn that into some sort of action? Because knowing about it, thinking about it, talking about it doesn't mean squat until you do something about it. And that means helping in whatever way you can. But it also means not falling into the trap of becoming a white savior. Instead, coming in a humble way to say, I want to be of service. How can I help? Tell me how I can help you because only they know what they need really. And, um, and put me to work, you know, I'll wash dishes. I'll take out the trash. Tell me what you need. Um, So, I mean, I guess that's the [00:23:00] best I can do in a generalized form. Yeah.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: So I want to mention today too, we are recording this on Memorial Day in the United States. The day that we remember people have passed away, our ancestors and our loved ones. And For me, a part of this process has been coming to terms with, with my own family history and the complicity in the settler colonizer state and in the patriarchy and, um, a lot of the contradictions that are there, that it's really tempting to paint a really pretty picture of pioneers or pilgrims, or, you know, the settlers that built this cabin and worked so hard to settle this area. And it's, It's, it's so many complicated overlapping truths of also, um, genocide and rape and, um. And land theft. And death and destruction. Yeah. Yeah. Land theft and, and continual [00:24:00] occupation. Here I am. Yeah. In Utah. I have no ancestors from Utah. And I'm still here. Yeah. And, um. It's, it's a paradox and it's hard and it's uncomfortable. Um, and I have children. So part of my work is to teach them about all of that and try and model how to continue to exist and then what to do next. Um, because I think if I'm running away from it in my own family system and my own family culture, like I can't. I'm not going to do anything on a greater scale that's actually helpful, you know. Nina Simons: Yeah, I sure do. And we're surrounded by so many examples of people who, you know, there's a saying, uh, in the healing communities that hurt people, hurt people. Yes. Right. And, and so what you're facing, Alisa, is very much an opportunity to break the chain and [00:25:00] to, um, to really choose something different for yourself and your kids. And I applaud you for doing so. It's a big deal.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Thank you. Yeah, it, it's hard. And it's vulnerable to, to put myself in positions to learn and to be corrected and to be told, um, that I have a limited perspective. But, but like you're saying, there's, it's not just all pain there. Like, there's so much beauty in learning. Uh, one of my. Favorite examples of this recently is, um, in the resistance to the Dakota access pipeline, uh, the Lakota people established a resistance movement and it was led by the indigenous people of the area. And there were lots of activists and other native people that came to help. And proportionately the, the local native people were a very small fraction at the end. Um, but everyone continued to function. under the guidance of that leadership and under that sovereignty. And I, it's such a [00:26:00] beautiful story that is just a fraction of what was going on there, but that, that sovereignty and that leadership and that respect that was able to function, I think for almost like 10 months in that space allowed for a much larger work to happen. And it's a beautiful example of how. Leadership and sovereignty is not, it doesn't have to be this dominating power, but it can be this community agreement to recognize leadership in these beautiful spaces and with indigenous values. And, um, it brings me so much hope. So I can, I can feel what you're saying about the resilience and the hope and the leadership and the learning that comes from engaging with these stories that also hold so much  Nina Simons: pain. Yeah. Well, and, and frankly, there is a, a fierce commitment to surviving and thriving in many Native communities. And [00:27:00] it's huge. You know, I, I recently heard a friend whose son was at Standing Rock, and she's a Native woman, and she said, I'm so grateful for what my son learned there because he learned that you don't ever put lives at risk without checking first with the life givers and the life bearers. So you go to the women first for their permission if you're going to consider something dangerous. And he, she said, I'm so grateful he learned that. You know, and it made so much sense to me. I thought, wow, what if before we went to war, you know, we had part of our constitution was a council of elder women. They would consult before going into war. It would change everything. Revolutionizing. Right?  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Yeah. And in your book, you talk about, uh, the Iroquois Confederacy and the, uh, [00:28:00] The  Nina Simons: Haudenosaunee. Thank  Alyssa Calder Hulme: you. Yes, I read it. It's, it's weird to say it out loud. I'm not used to that. Um, Haudenosaunee and how they have that council of women. Yeah. And that is, you know, that was the inspiration for a lot of the, um, the feminist movement in the United States.  Nina Simons: And the U. S.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Constitution. Yes. And I, I have, I have, um, Iroquois ancestry and I'm so proud of that piece and I, it's, it's a very small fraction, but I'm like, ah, I want to connect with that part of, part of my ancestry as well because, oh my goodness, we have so much to learn. I have so much to learn. Um. Okay, so many things that we could, that we could talk about here. Um,  Nina Simons: You know what? Can I jump in for a sec? Oh, please do. Please do. Okay. I was realizing as I was anticipating being with you today that I was thinking about my own relationship to ambition. Oh, yeah. And, and what I [00:29:00] realized was that I've never had ambition to be rich or a celebrity. I've never had that kind of ambition. The kind of ambition that I have had has been a promise to myself that before I die, I'm going to live out what my soul brought me here to bring. And that's a form of ambition, I realized, you know, and certainly, you know, I enjoy being well used. I enjoy feeling like I've contributed something that's really Helped move something, um, that I care about and I work with a number of women who are quite ambitious and I love that they're ambitious because, you know, they're, they're sort of natural born competitors and, and. Why shouldn't we all have that within ourselves? You know, a [00:30:00] desire to excel. So I think, you know, part of what I talk about in the book is this idea that I call full spectrum leadership, and by which I mean, having access to all of our human capacities at any given time. And if the feminine is the receptive and the masculine is the active, why shouldn't we have all of it? I mean, of course, as whole human beings, that's my aspiration.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: No, I thank you for, for bringing us back to that, uh, cause I, I do want to explore that more. Um, one of the things I'm cautious of is engaging in a binary of, um, and it's ironic because you know, the name of the podcast is. Women of ambition. And so I'm engaging in that in, in a division by calling out experiences of women. Um, so I am cautious of that, but as you're saying, being holistic [00:31:00] people, exploring all pieces of our identity, making sure that's in balance, you know, it's not just women reclaiming femininity, but it's also men reclaiming that part of their leadership as well. And having that holistic experience. Um, Can you maybe speak a little more specifically about the different ways that, uh, feminine leadership comes across? I know there are so many examples in your book.  Nina Simons: Sure. You know, there's There's a phrase from the late 60s feminist movement. I don't remember which number it is, but I can hardly keep track. Are we in the fourth  Alyssa Calder Hulme: right now? I think that's  Nina Simons: what we're in right now. But, um, you know, feminist scholars started writing about all our ways of knowing. And reclaiming all our ways of knowing. And that phrase really [00:32:00] resonates for me. Um, what I've realized as I've explored my own self and cultivating myself to, to full flourishing, which is how I think of it. Um, and I hope I'm continuing to cultivate myself until the day I die, right? So that, that involves taking risks, being vulnerable. Um, what I find is that I almost have practices to turn down the volume on my mental capacities and turn up the volume of the knowing of my heart, of my emotions, of my body's Knowing and intelligence, and also of my intuitive or spiritual understanding and relationship to the sacred, to my ancestors, to the invisible world, you know, scientists are proving all the time that, uh, the invisible world [00:33:00] actually exists, and that in fact, it may have a far greater influence on events than the part that's visible and palpable to our five senses. So, so what I've found is that as I'm growing toward my full flourishing, and I should say all this self cultivation has led me to a place, Elisa, where I'm feeling more, um. authentic, more fully integrated, more free and more trusting of all of the parts of myself than I ever have in my life before. And I want that for everyone. It's just so wonderful to feel. And I, I look back and I think, well, I kind of wish I'd learned it sooner, but I'm not sure I could have, you know, so it, we'll each take whatever time we take. Um, Okay, what did you ask me? Ah, okay. Feminine leadership. So, you [00:34:00] know, what it looks like to me is recognizing that our emotions exist for good reason. Whether we're in a female body or a male body, emotions are communications from nature about something that we need to pay attention to. And in fact, of course, as we all know, in our culture, Hollywood produces movies that they call chick flicks that are all about relationship and emotion and men don't think those movies are for them. But I personally believe that if we could institute publicly acceptable, safe venues for expressing both grief and anger, we could Dial down the amount of violence in our culture almost overnight. I think it's just huge. So, you know, one of my favorite examples was a woman [00:35:00] at one of our, uh, trainings who was a labor organizer. And she described sitting at a table with a room full of men and how she was so passionate about something that she was crying. And she didn't apologize. She was the leader in the room. She didn't apologize. She spoke through her tears. She said, I'm weeping because I care so damn much. And they all really got it. And I thought, wow, what an incredible role model. Um, you know, and, and part of what, uh, we did on those retreats was to unpack the conventional forms of leadership where leaders, think they know the answer to everything, right? And, and to juxtapose it with new models of leadership where it's safe and okay to say, I don't know, does anyone have a better idea? Or does anyone have experience with this who can help inform us? I think we're all [00:36:00] moving toward much more shared, egalitarian, team based models of leadership. And that the more comfortable we can get with that within ourselves. So that we can see it as a, as a accomplishment, not as a failure to be sharing power. Um, the quicker and better we're going to transform our world. Yeah, I,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: I totally agree with you.  Nina Simons: That's beautiful. I mean, there's another thing that I would say too, is that, you know, Part of this all was ignited, uh, when I first saw a film online called The Burning Times, and I began to understand through that film and the research that I did, um, subsequent to that, that all of the systems of our society had transformed during this three to four hundred year period in European history that had correlatives all over the world. [00:37:00] And that everything associated with the feminine became devalued, and everything associated with the masculine became elevated. And, uh, and so for instance, you know, being embodied is a gift of the feminine. Um, literally we birth literally . Well, that's right. Exactly. Exactly. And how many men do you know who are comfortable in their own bodies? Yeah. You know? Um, so they can only feel anger. Well, how crazy is that? Yeah, right.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: They're very emotional. But it can only come through in one way. That's not healthy. .  Nina Simons: No, and especially not at a time when there's so much. Lost going on and so much pain and suffering. I mean, honestly, if you're not feeling grief, you're not paying attention. Um, because there is a lot of that going on and it's painful and real. Um, so, you [00:38:00] know, I think, I think that. Uh, freeing ourselves of the old conditioned mental models and then aspiring toward, you know, how can we embody our whole selves? How can our creative self become part of our leadership? How can our playful self become part of our leadership and how powerful that could be really to say, I don't know, what do you think? You know?  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Yeah. I, I really appreciate that. Bye. Bye. humor can be one of those really transformational pieces. Um, I'm learning, I'm learning so much right now from, um, queer and trans people in terms of creation and joy and extravagance and flamboyance. Um, and, and same, especially with, uh, black feminist women, um, in their liberation movements and rest and healing and spirituality and wholeness and all [00:39:00] these textures of self that I. I might not even be aware of or might not even think about bringing forward in those places and, uh, we just, we need each other and, and as we're talking about these emotions and, and lack of touch with ourselves, um, you know, I think about the, the lack of our public ceremonies and, and morning processes and celebrations and these community experiences that we, um, That our people had long ago, or maybe we've lost in our current day. Um, and you talk a lot about the women that are bringing those kinds of ceremonies back and you talk about personal ceremonies. Um, can you speak maybe a little bit to that and how that. Works to integrate those parts of ourselves or or exercises them maybe I don't know. What do you think?  Nina Simons: Well, you know, I think what you're referring to. I refer to as [00:40:00] rituals and I Maybe 15 years ago or so. I was gifted to To experience a ceremony by a Peruvian teacher named Oscar Miro Quesada, and at the end of about an eight hour ceremony, he said, if you remember only one thing, remember this, consciousness creates matter, language creates reality. Ritual creates relationship and even though it was the wee hours of the morning, those words landed in me like, and I have used them to cultivate myself for now a long, long time and found them really helpful. And one of my favorite examples is just a really simple one where I realized one day that when I got out of the shower, I would look in the mirror. And I'd have all [00:41:00] these voices go off in my head about my hips being too wide, or my belly being too round, or my butt being, you know, all of those things, right? And I realized that each day I was doing violence to myself. And that I had to not only stop it, but replace it. And so I made up a ritual where I found a body oil that I really liked and, um, added essential oils to it until the scent really pleased me as a first thing in the morning kind of a thing. And so then I, you know, I held myself accountable for every day getting out of the shower and anointing my body with that oil. And while I did it. pouring love into my body and telling it what I was grateful for and what I appreciate about it and thanking it for all [00:42:00] the ways it supported me. And it, you know, it only took, takes two or three minutes a day. But what I found was that if I invent a ritual to strengthen some part of myself and hold myself really seriously accountable to doing it every day. Somewhere around six or eight weeks, I can feel a change in myself. And, um, so I find that really helpful, you know, and, um, similarly, I realized on our women's retreats that it made me nuts every time I heard somebody refer to a room full of women as guys. I was like, no, we are not guys. I'm a  Alyssa Calder Hulme: California girl. I am totally, I totally do that too. So I'm trying to change my language. It's hard. It's hard.  Nina Simons: Well, I'll tell you what helps. I love calling them guyas. I would be like, look, we're all Gaias, okay? Let's do [00:43:00] that.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: I like that. Because then you can change it mid word when you realize it's happening. Nina Simons: Exactly. And how wonderful to be addressed as a planet. Yeah.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: So is, have you, have you moved those rituals and things into? practices with other people. I can see that as being something that's really powerful in friendships or even in like a business setting or a collaboration space. What does that look  Nina Simons: like? Well, you know, a lot of what I talk about in the book is the power of women's circles. There are a lot of great authors who've written about this. Um, but the truth is you can do it. With one or two or five other women and, um, you know, there's a wonderful ritual that we do, we did in our retreats that we called compost and cauldron. Yes, I wanted to  Alyssa Calder Hulme: talk about that because I love the idea of compost rather than like throwing something away. So please. [00:44:00] Right.  Nina Simons: Okay. So basically the ritual is this. You observe each day. What do you want to let go of? What have you observed in yourself that you're ready to give back to the earth because it's no longer serving you? And it could be a self limiting idea. It could be. Uh, a habit that you have, you know, it could be anything, but it's something that you really want to ritually lay down to the earth and know that, like with compost, it becomes food for the earth. It's not waste, it's not trash, it just becomes food. And what you put in the cauldron is what you're cooking on for yourself. And so, you would go around the circle and each woman would say, I'm composting this. that I saw myself do when I compared myself to the woman who walked in the room. And I thought, Ooh, I have the wrong shoes. I'm not dressed right. I, I, I'm not nearly smart [00:45:00] enough compared to her, all those things. I'm composting that and I'm going to put in the cauldron how good I felt. When she appreciated my idea, right? I love that, yeah. I know. So, and what happens is that everyone in the circle benefits from it because we, you realize that these things that we have, so many of them are shared and so universal and it takes it out of the me and the individual and puts it more into the circle of we're all healing from this crazy culture that has given us a lot of conditioning. that doesn't serve our best interests, our best flourishing. And so when we do it together, it becomes more lighthearted. You know, we all can mirror each other. And I think the other thing that I found about working in circles with women is that often others can see us [00:46:00] much more clearly than we can see ourselves. And so it can be very helpful after you're working with somebody in a circle. That you know, or you know pretty well, and you can say to them, you know, when I do my own self assessment, what I notice is that, uh, A, B, and C are some of my strongest gifts or talents, but I don't know if you see me that way. How do you see me? What do you think are my strongest gifts or talents? And what do you think are my areas that I could be strengthening or, or, you know, where I should turn to another for help? Um. Because that's cultivation. That's an investment in each other's leadership. And it's so helpful.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: I love that. It's that vulnerability and practice, that humility that we were talking about.  Nina Simons: Yes,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: exactly. Investing in and lifting each other up. Um, Yeah, I, I think that's just another, [00:47:00] another kind of ambition to, to practice that when it, when it might feel so, um, unnatural initially.  Nina Simons: Well, I think, I think like anything, you know, it's a muscle that when we practice, it becomes stronger. And I think also just to tie it back to our earlier conversation in relation to racial justice, you know, it's very important that we as white women don't go to women of color and say, teach me, what's it like to be a person of color or what do I need to learn? Because that's a kind of, um, uncompensated emotional labor that white people tend to lay on the backs of people of color. And so it's really important that we educate ourselves. Both about the history of slavery and colonialism and racism in this country, but also, um, about [00:48:00] our own relationships to our ancestors. So we're not going to them saying, you know, here, fill up my culture cup with your culture. No, we have to have our own. Alyssa Calder Hulme: So that, that was one of the other things that I was thinking about as you're discussing this, um, because I know a lot of. A lot of white presenting people have been very separated from their indigenous cultures and practices and rituals. And so a lot of us are, are seeking them out and we can, um, we can appropriate from other cultures in ways that we might not, in our ignorance, might not realize are damaging, um, and then, and learn and change, but then also in kind of, Trying to create our own rituals, even if we don't realize we're adopting something from another culture, um, but then we can be educated and learn and grow. I think that's kind of my fear in that way is that I will in learning something that's helpful to my spirit and to. Um, learning and growing, then learn that I have [00:49:00] adopted that without permission from another culture unknowingly, um, is that just, do I just need to keep being humble and, and learning? Nina Simons: Well,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: it happens so inadvertently, you know what I mean? And it's genuine. And then the impact is so painful to others. And so I'm just grappling  Nina Simons: with that. You know, one of the things that I've learned from my contact with indigenous peoples is protocols are really important. And what that means is you don't borrow from another culture without citing the source. And so, if you learn something in a book, cite the author. If you learn something from a teacher, ask their permission before you share it again. Because there is something about honoring others sovereignty that is so central. To the dignity of people trying to heal from all these centuries of oppression. And it's when we do things [00:50:00] without citing the source, without asking permission, without honoring where it came from, that's when it's really cooptation.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Yeah. Yeah. I thank you for that. I think part of my, my issue is I don't always realize that something comes from another culture. Yeah. And I guess at that point, all I can do is Ask for forgiveness and learn and adapt in the moment. Nina Simons: Ask for forgiveness if you hurt somebody. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Culture is a nebulous thing. And we learn from and with each other constantly. We are fundamentally social creatures. And, and culture is always evolving. So, you know, there is a way that that line is not nearly as as clearly drawn as some people would imagine. And so I think you just have to practice witnessing [00:51:00] yourself and being clear about your intentions. And, you know, one of the things I like to remind myself, Alisa, is that doing racial justice work as a white person means having both a thick skin and a thin skin at the same time. Yes, I agree. I love that because I want to open myself to really feel other people's experience and the truth of that and the pain of that. And at the same time, I want to have a thick enough skin that I recognize that when I make mistakes, it doesn't mean I'm a bad person. It means I have to. Pay attention and learn and apologize if it's appropriate, but it doesn't hurt me to make mistakes, really, you know, and, and so I think it's an art that we practice and get better at being thick skinned and thin skinned at the same time. Alyssa Calder Hulme: Yeah. And then, and then having you taking the privilege and the [00:52:00] position or whatever we have to actually go and act on that knowledge and, and help people. Cause we can't just learn something and crumple inward and not do anything about it and just feel guilt. Like that is not. That's not the point. And I also don't want to be, yeah. And I also don't want to be so scared of doing something wrong that I'm not engaging in reaching out and being vulnerable. So, I mean, it's a, it's a tricky balance, I think, but, um, you know, one of the things you talk about is. Engaging in community and in listening to one another and growing together and it's vulnerable, but that's I think that's part of that leaning into that feminine side that has been so undervalued for so long. Nina Simons: It's true. And I love that you mentioned earlier. That, um, you named rest as part of reclaiming the feminine and, you know, I have a teacher who taught me that spaciousness is where the feminine [00:53:00] flourishes. And I thought, huh, in this culture that is so focused on hyper productivity and, you know, how many of us have to do lists. that are way too long and don't give ourselves spaciousness, even for 10 minutes in the middle of the day to just chill and go quiet or sit, um, and be, be in spaciousness. I think that that's a vastly underrated, undervalued experience that, um, can help all of us who are ambitious and leaders and caring about flourishing into our best selves. Um, that's a practice that's worth cultivating and believing in because it also helps. Me to remember to value myself deeply, you know, not in a hallmark way not in a narcissistic way but in a like [00:54:00] I you know, this body is the instrument of my purpose my soul's purpose and Taking good care of it for the long haul is not selfish it's an act of leadership and one that I I hope we all do because we are living through an epidemic of burnout and um, that doesn't help anybody. It just perpetuates the, the dying system.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: I agree. Um, you know, I have three daughters and I, and you're talking about leadership and self care and you know, every time they walk in on me taking a bath or laying down and reading a book. Or painting or something that feeds my soul. It's like, I'm not doing it for show, but they see me and they will take my lead on those types of things. And every time, you know, I burn myself out, it goes that way too. So yeah. Um, yeah, I, I'm remembering now the, some of the rituals that I've created for [00:55:00] myself where when I'm menstruating, I. I slow down and I build in time and space to take a special bath with a special candle and, um, you know, Epsom salts or some things. But, uh, it's, it's been interesting for me to use my own body rhythms to remember that the world is not built for me. Every day is not the same. I'm on a cycle, engaging with the moon, engaging with the stars and being like, yeah, every day is not the same. I'm not a man, I don't have those hormones. And, you know, taking that time to reconnect. with that feminine side that's cyclical and changing is, is really beautiful.  Nina Simons: It is. And it's a beautiful capacity that women have to connect with earth cycles that way, you know? Yeah. So cool. It was very powerful to me to learn. That in many Native American [00:56:00] cultures, the tradition of banning women from sweat lodges when they are on their moon time did not come about because of any belief that the women were dirty. Quite to the contrary, it came about because of the belief that women on their moon time have a more direct connection to the sacred. So there you have it. Yeah, I,  Alyssa Calder Hulme: I have, I have indigenous friends that have been, um, leading and teaching me in some really beautiful ways. And they continue to emphasize that to me and talk about how in their society, women don't need the sweat lodge because they have their own ceremony. It's an excess. It's an extra, but the men. require it because they don't have that in their, in their biology. And, you know, I, it's such an interesting thing to learn about and I'm still just scratching the surface on that, but that's been part of my, my [00:57:00] coming back to self ritual, because then it does allow me to do all the many other. Outward things that I want to do, but yeah, you know, we have to have balance across all parts of ourself. Yep  Nina Simons: Yes, we do  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Okay, well we are gonna wrap up here, but thank you so much for for coming on and sharing these things just a Beautiful, gorgeous book. I can't wait for other people to read it and to share it even more. Um, is there anything in closing that you want to share with listeners, with ambitious women?  Nina Simons: Well, I would say, um, That it's worth checking out Bioneers because the role models there are amazing and the conversations are amazing. Um, the URL that's kind of great is bioneers. org slash NCS book because then you can download a free copy of [00:58:00] the introduction to the book. And. Um, if anyone does do that and does read the book, I would ask humbly that you put a review on Amazon because they count and they're hard to get. And I'm very honored to be offering this book to the world and to your listeners, Elisa, and, and thank you so much. What a treat to be with you.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Yeah, you're very welcome. Um, is Bioneers still, do you still do in person conferences?  Nina Simons: We do once a year, um, in the Bay Area in Berkeley, uh, in late, uh, March of next year. And we also have a great newsletter and radio series. And that's free to any station and, um, just a lot of great resources online. So it's very much worth, and I'll be teaching actually an online course in August on sacred activism. So if [00:59:00] that's of interest, then sign up for the Bioneers newsletter and you'll hear all about it.  Alyssa Calder Hulme: Okay, good. Yeah. I, I really want to go to the March conference. Um, I'm going to be in grad school next year, so I'm not sure how busy I'm going to be, but. How great. Yeah. Well, and I, I'm trying to, I would love to, I'm in sociology and I'd really love to work with nonprofits and grassroots efforts and especially women, um, and gender equity and things like that. So it's all very, very close to home for me. It's very exciting.  Nina Simons: That's so  Alyssa Calder Hulme: great. Well, I love hearing about these resources. So thank you so much. Um, and yeah, we'll point people to your book and to your website and they'll get to check you out there. Thank you so much for being on the show, Nina.  Nina Simons: Thank you, Elisa.

Idag var det Gaias tur att komma med boktips, en av de många böckerna skrivna av Frans de Waal. En bok Gaia läst hela 3 gånger så mycket gillar hon den!

Lucka nummer fem och det är Gaias tur att prata skit! Nej.. alltså vi menar det! Gaia ska diskutera hästbajs och hur hon just nu använder den för att få reda på spanska hästars hemligheter.

Grimm and Gaía talks about Katnip in Saudí, Grimms first time smoking, Gaias memory is lost in space after smoking UnderDawg and discusses if she's going to graduation

Dan Jönsson reflekterar över framtiden i ljuset av samtidens dystopier och utopier i denna fyrtio minuter långa specialessä. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes ursprungligen den 20 maj 2019.Jag ska berätta om framtiden. Vi lever i en storslagen epok, när mänskligheten står på tröskeln till att, en gång för alla, göra sig fri från sina fysiska begränsningar. Om bara några årtionden kommer robotar att kunna utföra de flesta betungande och monotona arbeten. Med självkörande bilar blir trafiken säker och effektiv. Kompressionsteknik och superbatterier gör gamla orena bränslen föråldrade och förpassar energiproblemen till historien. Digitala kommunikationer skapar en global enhetscivilisation, där kulturella motsättningar blir alltmer sällsynta. Avancerad bioteknik lär kunna spåra och förebygga inte bara de flesta allvarliga sjukdomar, utan också helt normala åldersförändringar. Den första människan som kommer att leva i tusen år kan kanske redan vara född.frågan är om inte framtiden just nu är mer polariserad än någonsin.Men vi lever som vi vet också i en epok när mänskligheten står på tröskeln till att, en gång för alla, förstöra förutsättningarna inte bara för sin egen fortlevnad utan också för mycket av det övriga livet på jorden. När hälften av alla vilda djur har försvunnit på bara några decennier. När halten av koldioxid i atmosfären ligger på en nivå som är högre än på flera miljoner år. När det tycks alltmer säkert att de skenande växthuseffekterna inte längre går att hejda på en rimlig nivå utan kommer att göra allt större delar av planeten obeboelig, med krig och flyktingströmmar som följd. Vad hjälper oss då våra robotar och superbatterier? Vad spelar det för roll om en människa kan leva i tusen år när mänskligheten ändå kommer att gå under? Den första människan som får uppleva slutet för vår civilisation kan möjligen redan vara född.Jag är väl knappast ensam om att ha svårt att få det här att gå ihop. Självklart är det så att varje tid i någon mening slits mellan hopp och förtvivlan, mellan utopi och dystopi men frågan är om inte framtiden just nu är mer polariserad än någonsin. Som jag minns den, framtiden, från min egen uppväxt var avståndet mellan paradis och domedag visserligen betydande även då, men inte alldeles oöverstigligt. Å ena sidan visionerna om en bättre renare, fredligare, mer rättvis värld, å andra sidan hoten från miljöförstöring och kärnvapenkapprustning. Men både visionerna och hoten var mänskliga i omfattning. Den ekonomiska och tekniska utvecklingen gick att styra, kärnvapnen gick trots allt att plocka bort och destruera. Den framtid vi står inför idag är däremot vad gäller både hoten och visionerna övermänsklig till sina dimensioner. Åt ena hållet klimatförändringar som det redan verkar vara försent att bringa under kontroll, åt det andra en teknisk utveckling som mer eller mindre ser ut att driva sig själv mot något som ingen riktigt vet vad det är.Man kan tänka sig att det är denna väldighet i perspektiven som får vår tids politik att verka så handlingsförlamad, så viljelös och kortsynt. Medan glaciärerna smälter pågår ilskna debatter om flygskatter och elcykelsubventioner; medan de digitala algoritmerna rusar vidare mot singulariteten diskuteras hotet från de fientliga trollfabrikerna. Som den tyske filosofen Richard David Precht formulerar saken förhåller sig politikerna till framtiden ungefär som till vädret, som om valet stod mellan att fälla upp ett paraply eller hålla sig inomhus. Just i en tid alltså, när den mänskliga civilisationen står inför det största hotet, men också de största möjligheterna någonsin i sin historia.alla politiska visioner från och med nu, och faktiskt sedan några decennier tillbaka, måste ses i ljuset av den ekologiska krisen.Hur hotet ser ut vet vi, men vilka är då möjligheterna, helt konkret? Ja för Precht handlar de i alla fall inte om evigt liv, om en digital världsgemenskap, eller om superdatorer inopererade i pannloben. Allt som är tekniskt möjligt är, för det första, inte nödvändigtvis eftersträvansvärt. Vad skulle vi använda den jordiska evigheten till? Skulle vi verkligen bli klokare om vi fick all världens kunskaper och färdigheter på ett chip i hjärnan? Redan med dagens sökmotorer och gps-system har basala förmågor, som att läsa en karta eller memorera vissa basfakta, börjat framstå som nästan omoderna: är det ett framsteg? För det andra, konstaterar Precht, är den ekologiska krisen och den digitala revolutionen inte två skilda ting, utan i mångt och mycket två sidor av samma mynt. Var ska, till exempel, all den energi som framtidens digitala superservrar kommer att behöva, egentligen tas? Enbart de dataservrar som producerar nya bitcoin kräver idag lika mycket elektricitet som hela Danmark.Prechts bok har titeln Jäger, Hirten, Kritiker jägare, herdar, kritiker: en blinkning åt Karl Marx gamla idé om människans roll i det kommunistiska samhället, och även för Precht ett sätt att ringa in något slags politisk vision. Den digitala utopin kan handla om helt alldagliga ting, sådana som faktiskt gör världen bättre, rent konkret. Självkörande bilar är ett exempel, ett annat medicinsk diagnostik. Men det som verkligen kommer att betyda något i vår framtida vardag är enligt Precht automatiseringen av arbetslivet. Här finns en enorm, frigörande potential, när slitsamma och monotona arbeten försvinner och gör det möjligt att ägna tiden åt sådant som faktiskt betyder något. Förutsatt förstås att försörjningen garanteras med en ordentlig basinkomst.Kanske kan det vara utopi nog. Vad det handlar om är att alla politiska visioner från och med nu, och faktiskt sedan några decennier tillbaka, måste ses i ljuset av den ekologiska krisen. Den franske antropologen Bruno Latour har uttryckt det som att vi står inför en ny klimatregim som i grunden ruckar inte bara ramarna för politiken utan hela vårt sätt att se på världen. Naturen är inte vad den var: ett objekt för mänsklig kartläggning och kolonisering. Jordens organiska processer, inser vi nu, hänger samman, reagerar på varandra. I och med det är inte heller historien längre vad den var: en berättelse som med alla sina tragedier ändå leder stadigt framåt. Den moderna utveckling som har orsakat den kris vi nu står mitt i, var kanske i bästa fall bara ett sidospår.Och därför är förstås inte heller politiken vad den var. I en essä från 2018 med den franska titeln Où atterir? Var ska vi landa? eller som den heter i engelsk översättning: Down to Earth, Ner på jorden, skissar Latour politikens ramar under den nya klimatregimen. Med ett enkelt schema visar han hur den moderna politikens klassiska kraftfält, mellan polerna det lokala och det globala, satts ur balans av en tredje pol, som han benämner det jordiska men som väl också skulle kunna kallas ekologin. Den etablerade politiken stöts bort av denna tredje pol, i panik eller förnekelse, tydligast hos demagogerna på högerkanten men också i de liberala dagdrömmarna om att fixa klimatet med grön teknologi och hållbar tillväxt. Av den allians mellan gröna och sociala krafter som för Latour är det enda tänkbara politiska svaret på utmaningen från det jordiska, syns än så länge inte mycket till.Så var landar vi? Är framtiden ett hot eller ett löfte? Kanske både-och? Det enda som verkar säkert är att vi lever i en tid när mycket vi nyss tog för givet inte gäller längre; en tid som tvingar oss att tänka om, tänka nytt. Se på vår värld med en förändrad blick. Ja, faktiskt en storslagen epok, på sätt och vis. Vår planet sedd utifrånDet var på julaftonskvällen 1968 som astronauterna på Apollo 8 Frank Borman, James Lovell och William Anders kanske för gott förändrade jordinvånarnas bild av sin planet. Inför uppskattningsvis en miljard tevetittare i sextiofyra länder sände de i ungefär en halvtimme live från rymdfarkosten, som befann sig i omloppsbana runt månen; visade bilder på månytan och den omgivande rymden, där jorden framträdde som en ljusblå halvsfär, och avslutade seansen med att i tur och ordning läsa högt ut Bibelns Första Mosebok. Jag var själv för liten för att komma ihåg något av detta rymdhistoriens mest patetiska ögonblick, och eftersom det måste varit mitt i natten i Sverige är det kanske inte många andra här som gör det heller men bilderna som William Anders tog av jorduppgången över månen har jag sett så många gånger att de har bränt sig fast i hjärnbarken. Vår sköra blå planet, svävande som en bräcklig julgranskula i fritt fall genom den kosmiska natten.Om termodynamiken haft sin gång borde nämligen Jordens atmosfär se ut som på Mars eller Venus;Sedan dess har vi börjat vänja oss. Ändå var det så man fick en klump i magen när rymdsonden Osiris-Rex nästan exakt femtio år senare, i december 2018, på väg genom asteroidbältet vände sin kamera hemåt och knäppte en bild där jorden framträder som en bara knappnålsstor lysande stjärna i den svarta tomheten, med månen som en ännu mindre liten prick precis intill. De här bilderna skapar en svindel som rycker tankarna ur deras invanda omloppsbanor som den engelske geofysikern James Lovelock skriver i sin banbrytande bok Gaia från 1979 är det kanske det här som är rymdforskningens verkligt avgörande landvinning: att den har fått oss människor att se på vår planet utifrån, från rymden. Se den, alltså, som något mer än bara summan av sina organiska och fysiska processer. Som något sammanhängande och helt.Lovelock fick impulsen till sin Gaiahypotes när han arbetade som gästforskare hos den amerikanska rymdfartsstyrelsen NASA i Kalifornien i mitten på sextiotalet. Han ingick i ett forskarlag som just då var mitt uppe i ett projekt som handlade om att försöka hitta tecken på liv på Mars. Metoden var att genom att analysera teleskopfotografiernas färgspektra försöka identifiera atmosfärens sammansättning, och Lovelock och hans team kom till stort förtret för sina uppdragsgivare rätt snart fram till att Mars måste vara en död planet. Dess atmosfär befann sig i ett kemiskt jämviktstillstånd, det vill säga den motsvarade precis det man kunde förvänta sig enligt termodynamikens andra lag, som slår fast att alla kemiska och fysikaliska processer förr eller senare planar ut mot det man kallar värmedöden, eller med ett annat uttryck maximal entropi.Det var när Lovelock sedan betraktade Jorden med samma blick som polletten trillade ner. Om termodynamiken haft sin gång borde nämligen Jordens atmosfär se ut som på Mars eller Venus; framför allt syret skulle ha varit i det närmaste försvunnet och ersatt av koldioxid. Planeten borde då ha varit antingen djupfryst eller kokhet. Kunde det vara så, frågade sig Lovelock nu, att ett definierande kännetecken på liv var just att dess processer motverkade entropi? Idén var inte helt ny, men för Lovelock krokade den i en annan tankegång som gjorde den smått visionär: för kunde det då också vara så att livet på jorden var systemiskt sammantvinnat i något som liknade en enda gigantisk organism? Vars gemensamma syfte i så fall var att förhindra ökningen av entropin, det vill säga se till så atmosfärens temperatur och andra livsnödvändiga förutsättningar var i balans?När Lovelock publicerade sin hypotes som förresten fick namnet Gaia av hans granne, författaren William Golding möttes den av hån och förakt från ett i stort sett enigt vetenskapssamhälle. Lovelock anklagades för kvasivetenskaplig romantik och nyandlig spekulation. Och det är sant, Gaia är inget vetenskapligt verk. Den är en populärvetenskaplig idéskrift, ett trots allt rätt väl vetenskapligt underbyggt försök att formulera hur hypotesen skulle kunna se ut, mer i detalj: hur det kan komma sig att syre och metan kan existera samtidigt i atmosfären, hur världshaven fungerar som kemiska reningsverk och hur överflödigt salt tas om hand och deponeras. Till exempel.det som verkligen bekräftas av de senaste decenniernas klimatdebatt är förståelsen av Jorden som ett sammanhängande ekosystem där allt står i relation till vartannatSom Lovelock försiktigt antyder i förorden till senare utgåvor av boken, publicerades Gaia möjligen några decennier för tidigt. Lovelock skrev i en tid när de största miljöhoten stavades luftföroreningar, ozonhål och radioaktivitet, och när en samlad expertis ansåg att vi var på väg mot en ny istid. Lovelocks inställning var att visst, det är nog bra att vara på sin vakt mot allt det där, men Gaia har under årmiljarderna visat en enorm förmåga att anpassa sig. Den ekologiska balansen är känslig, men i positiv mening: när systemet känner av en störning reagerar det och hittar en ny balans. Den största miljökatastrofen, enligt Lovelock, inträffade för två tre miljarder år sedan, när syret släpptes fritt i atmosfären. Men till och med det lyckades Gaia reda ut. Det enda som skulle kunna bli värre är om vi med våra utsläpp av växthusgaser får koldioxidnivån att öka till en punkt där balansen inte går att återställa. Då, säger Lovelock, träder termodynamikens andra lag i funktion.Skrivet, alltså, 1979. Det är svårt att läsa Gaia idag utan att få känslan av att lyssna till en profetisk röst. Den samtida dövheten står i exakt proportion till Lovelocks klarsyn. Inte för att jag vet om hans hypotes är riktig i alla detaljer, men det som verkligen bekräftas av de senaste decenniernas klimatdebatt är förståelsen av Jorden som ett sammanhängande ekosystem där allt står i relation till vartannat och därmed det akuta behovet av en vetenskap som också den kan korsa gränserna mellan disciplinerna. När Bruno Latour plockar upp Lovelocks hypotes i sin stora bok Face à Gaia från 2015, är det just för att förklara hur den ekologiska krisen har tvingat oss att se på världen på ett nytt sätt. Insikten att naturen inte längre är en fond som vi människor avtecknar oss mot, utan ett komplicerat sammanhang vi ingår i, har under det han kallar den nya klimatregimen spritt sig långt utanför ekologernas led. Inför Gaias ansikte står vi vid en punkt där naturen inte längre är ett användbart begrepp. Vi befinner oss, kan man säga, vid naturens slut.Och vad betyder det i så fall för vår syn på oss själva som art? Begreppet antropocen kan ju på sätt och vis ses som ett försök att hantera insikten om naturens slut som alltså övergår i människans epok, logiskt nog men lika logiskt vore ju att inse vår litenhet, att vi på det stora hela mest är en mikroorganism bland andra som i det riktigt långa loppet inte lär ha någon större påverkan på Gaias ämnesomsättning överhuvudtaget. Och kanske är motsättningen mellan de här båda synsätten faktiskt skenbar. Det de i grunden har gemensamt är det som gått förlorat: idén om människan som naturens herre, skapelsens krona som kan forma världen efter sin vilja och föreställning. Han som plötsligt tappade fotfästet framför de stämningsfulla bilderna av jorduppgången den där julaftonskvällen 1968.Tiden rinner utMan brukar ibland åskådliggöra Jordens historia som en urtavla med tjugofyra timmar. På en sådan dygnsklocka uppstår de tidigaste primitiva livsformerna redan någon gång vid fyratiden på morgonen; men det dröjer ända till framåt tio på kvällen innan växterna etablerar sig på land. Dinosaurernas storhetstid infaller några minuter i elva. De allra första människoliknande varelserna lämnar trädtopparna på Östafrikas savanner bara en dryg minut före tolv. Och de tidigaste civilisationernas, arkitekturens och skrivkonstens födelse för sådär sex tusen år sedan, med andra ord början på det vi brukar kalla för historien, inträffar på en sådan här tidslinje ungefär en tiondels sekund före midnatt.Vad som ser ut som ett tekniskt eller vetenskapligt framsteg kan i själva verket visa sig vara ett hot mot vår egen livsmiljö.Att människan, och den mänskliga historien, skulle ha någon speciell betydelse är i det perspektivet en löjlig tanke. Sex tusen år, det är en fis i vinden. Ändå är det precis den tanken som bär upp hela vår moderna, västerländska civilisation. Fram till helt nyligen var det en allmän sanning att människan som den enda intelligenta livsformen besitter en unik förmåga att förstå och därmed behärska naturen. Just med hjälp av sin intelligens, sitt förnuft, har människan lyckats upprätta ett kunskapssystem, kallat vetenskapen, som låter henne betrakta naturen med objektiv blick, dra allmänna slutsatser och på så vis ingripa i naturprocesserna på ett sätt som gagnar hennes syften. Genombrottet för detta tankesystem brukar kallas för den vetenskapliga revolutionen och anses ha ägt rum på 1600-talet när några orädda forskare Galileo inom astronomin, Descartes inom filosofin och Newton inom fysiken bröt med det vidskepliga vaneseendet och lade grunden till en världsbild baserad på noggranna observationer och stringent logik.Att en stor förändring verkligen inträffade på 1600-talet går inte att förneka. Men frågan är vad den handlade om, egentligen. I ett drygt halvsekel nu har den moderna världsbilden varit utsatt för kritik och tvivel. Först atombomben, och vad den förde med sig av kapprustning och domedagsvisioner; därefter miljöförstöringen och vad den förde med sig av larmrapporter och just det domedagsvisioner, har lett till insikt om att vår förmåga att ingripa i naturens processer också för med sig en risk att förändra dem i grunden. Rentav slå ut dem fullständigt. Vad som ser ut som ett tekniskt eller vetenskapligt framsteg kan i själva verket visa sig vara ett hot mot vår egen livsmiljö.Det här borde förstås påverka hur vi ser på arvet från 1600-talets vetenskapliga revolution. Hur rationellt är det mänskliga förnuftet? Ledde detta idéhistoriska genombrott bara in i en fantastisk återvändsgränd? De skeptiska, civilisationskritiska strömningar som kommit att samlas under begreppet postmodernism har visserligen långtifrån alla någon bakgrund i ekologin ändå kan man säga att de förenas av ett ekologiskt förhållningssätt, eftersom ett ledmotiv i kritiken av den moderna världsbilden handlar just om dess benägenhet att isolera fenomenen från varandra, vägra se dem i ett sammanhang. Fysik, filosofi, historia är skilda saker, och får på inga villkor blandas ihop.I den engelske idéhistorikern Stephen Toulmins klarsynta bok Cosmopolis från 1990 är det just den här uppstyckade världsbilden som står i centrum för kritiken. Enligt den moderna självförståelsen nådde Galileo, Descartes och Newton sina upptäckter genom självständiga observationer och resonemang, utan påverkan av historiska eller andra tillfälliga omständigheter. Den bilden har varit viktig, eftersom den förstärker upptäckternas karaktär av tidlösa och universella sanningar. Den moderna vetenskapen har ju nämligen haft sin grund i just detta, i att formulera allmänna lagar för hur materien beter sig, oavsett förutsättningar. Att säga att dessa lagar skulle ha påverkats av den historiska och politiska situation där de formulerades skulle vara detsamma som att medge att deras giltighet också kunde vara av tillfällig, historisk natur.Men även om vetenskapshistorien har fått oss att tro det, så gjordes 1600-talets upptäckter inte i ett historiskt tomrum. Tvärtom deras bakgrund är, som Toulmin konstaterar, både tragisk och dramatisk. Trettioåriga krigets religiösa fundamentalism gjorde slut på renässansens eklekticism och tolerans och utmynnade, när det hade rasat färdigt, i ett helt nytt politiskt landskap där medeltidens myller av feodala imperier och små stadsstater lämnade plats för ett system av centraliserade nationalstater. Och de intellektuella, visar Toulmin, var långtifrån oberörda: redan innan kriget bröt ut såg Descartes och Galileo den nya tiden växa fram och oroade sig för vad den innebar. Deras ambition, att söka säker kunskap och formulera allmänna principer, var ett svar på osäkerheten och oförsonligheten.Så övergick, genom en lång och smärtsam process, renässansens intellektuellt flexibla helhetssyn i en långt mer rigid världsbild där gränserna mellan själ och materia, människa och natur var skarpa och stabila. Ett sådant synsätt harmonierade också bättre med den nya tidens ändrade politiska förhållanden. Det är denna överensstämmelse Toulmin lägger in i begreppet cosmopolis. Under antiken och medeltiden var det en självklarhet att se ett samband just mellan natur och samhälle, kosmos och polis man tänkte sig med andra ord att det fanns en naturlig samhällsordning som bättre än andra reflekterade den kosmiska ordningen.Människans tid på jorden kan visserligen verka futtigt kort, men man kan också vända perspektivet.Det moderna, vetenskapliga tankesystemet kastade med sitt eget sätt att se den sortens vidskepelser åt sidan. I verkligheten, säger Toulmin, bytte den alltså bara en version av kosmopolis mot en annan. 1600-talets motrenässans satte fysikens och matematikens universella principer i centrum för en politisk världsbild där kungamakten var den sol som resten av det samhällslivet kretsade kring, i alltmer perifera cirklar. Mellan det mänskligt besjälade och den själlösa materien fanns en skiljelinje lika djup och avgörande som mellan de styrande klasserna och deras underlydande, massan. Följaktligen fanns heller ingen vetenskap vad gällde mänskliga ting, som historia och psykologi. Den som ifrågasatte dessa dogmer på 1700-talet gjorde det inte utan risk. Kätterska åsikter levde vidare i de undre befolkningslagren eller förvisades till kolonierna i Nordamerika och Australien. Först med romantiken i början på 1800-talet började denna strikta världsbild kritiseras och så sakteliga luckras upp.Så kanske kan man fråga sig hur det kosmopolis ser ut som idag, efter postmodernismens attacker och ekologins väckarklockor, kan fungera som tankemodell för det välfungerande samhället. Frågan är väl också i hur hög grad vi egentligen har brutit med den moderna världsbilden. För även om den rent mekanistiska samhällssynen kanske inte har så många anhängare längre, så är matematikens principer än idag helt grundläggande för hur samhällsdebatten förs. Den klassiska nationalekonomins ekvationer och modeller sätter fortfarande ramarna för vad som ses som politiskt möjligt att diskutera, och begränsar därmed horisonten även för det teoretiskt tänkbara. Människans tid på jorden kan visserligen verka futtigt kort, men man kan också vända perspektivet. Om vi på en tiondels sekund har lyckats aktivera jordklockans alarmfunktion vad kan vi då inte hinna uträtta på nästa tiondel?Demokrati på paus?Det går faktiskt att bestämma en exakt tidpunkt för när den moderna västerländska civilisationen på allvar började tvivla på sig själv. Klockan kvart över åtta på morgonen den 6 augusti 1945 fällde USA den första atombomben över den japanska staden Hiroshima. Albert Einstein, som med sin forskning var med och utvecklade principerna för bomben, lär visserligen ha sagt att han inte ansåg att atomenergin hade skapat något nytt problem utan bara gjort det mer trängande att lösa ett problem som redan existerade. Det kan hända. Men i ögonen på miljoner människor efter kriget blev atombomben själva symbolen för mänskligt övermod. För en teknisk och vetenskaplig utveckling som löpt amok och hotade själva grunden för vår existens.Frågorna som bomben utlöste går att sammanfatta ungefär: kan en utveckling som leder mot förintelse verkligen kallas utveckling? Om detta är ett vetenskapligt framsteg, måste då inte vetenskapen vara på väg åt helt fel håll? Borde vi kanske helt och hållet sluta tala i de här termerna? Och, om man förlänger resonemanget: hur skulle ett politiskt samtal låta som satte de här begreppen, utveckling och framsteg, i någon sorts ideologisk karantän? Som istället lät sig styras av andra värden, andra, mer sammanhängande, perspektiv?Argumenten för en global, upplyst despoti, som vräker den tröga folkviljan åt sidan har vuxit i styrka.Det har tagit sin tid, men med de senaste decenniernas långsamma ekologiska uppvaknande har de här frågorna börjat hitta in i världspolitikens sammanträdesrum. Ofta maskerade till frågor om just utveckling och framsteg, men i alla fall. Kontrasten mellan teknikoptimism och miljöpessimism, mellan de båda framtidsperspektiv som å ena sidan utlovar det digitala paradiset och å andra sidan profeterar mänsklighetens undergång, har blivit så akut att den är omöjlig att blunda för. Måste man inte tänka sig en tredje väg? Eller mer konkret: om vi nu vet ganska precis vad som krävs för att uppnå enochenhalvgradsmålet måste vi inte alla samarbeta och göra det nödvändiga? Har vi egentligen något val?Den här slutsatsen, att det finns en nödvändig politik som bara väntar på att sättas i verket, har blivit klimatlarmens logiska konsekvens för många engagerade som otåligt ser klockorna ticka på mot den kritiska vändpunkten när allt vi gör kommer att vara förgäves. Det är bråttom, det har varit bråttom länge, och de demokratiska systemen jobbar alldeles för långsamt. Argumenten för en global, upplyst despoti, som vräker den tröga folkviljan åt sidan och kör över oss, som det hette i ett nätupprop för ett tag sedan, har vuxit i styrka. Om det gick under finanskrisen, varför inte nu? James Lovelock, mannen bakom den så kallade Gaiahypotesen, sade redan 2010, när världen i övrigt var upptagen med just finanskrisen, att klimatförändringarna kanske borde få oss att, som han formulerade det, sätta demokratin på paus ett tag, som man annars gör i krigstid.En sådan slutsats förutsätter förstås ett grundläggande antagande, och Lovelock uttryckte även det med ovanlig tydlighet: Människor i allmänhet är helt enkelt inte kapabla att hantera så komplexa frågor. Så kan det förstås vara. Demokratins historia är också historien om dess begränsningar, alla de tillfällen när idealen har fått vika för den ekonomiska eller ideologiska nödvändigheten. Från Lenins krigskommunism till nyliberalernas enda väg löper en tradition av demokrati med förbehåll: lätt att bekänna sig till i teorin, men just i den konkreta situationen nödvändig att, med Lovelocks ord, sätta på paus. Dagens ekopessimism följer samma logik men efter trettio år när det var tillväxten och den ekonomiska konkurrenskraften som inte gav politikerna något val, är det alltså nu själva naturkrafterna som gör oss maktlösa.Och detta alltså just i en epok som fått namnet antropocen. Människans tidsålder. Låter det paradoxalt? Men att makten begränsar även den som äger den är ingen nyhet. Det verkligt paradoxala är snarare att det problem jag tror att Einstein ansåg att atombomben hade gjort så akut att besvara alltså frågan om vetenskapens moraliska ansvar på det här sättet besvaras med att man försöker komma undan just detta ansvar. Ansvar har nämligen makten som sin förutsättning. Den som vill axla det måste vara beredd att välja mellan skilda alternativ. Att inte anse sig ha något val är därför detsamma som att avsäga sig ansvar. Det är, politiskt sett, att istället lägga makten i händerna på ett prästerskap av experter som faktiskt inte nödvändigtvis vet så mycket så säkert som de tror sig veta, som inte heller nödvändigtvis står fria från ekonomiska och andra egenintressen och som, framför allt, är väldigt svåra för allmänheten att kontrollera och därmed utkräva ansvar av.Kina och EU skulle alltså på lika juridiska villkor tvingas förhandla med skogen och Antarktis glaciärerDet var precis detta som skedde under nyliberalismens högkonjunktur. Vi överlämnade all makt till ekonomerna, och vad hände? Vi fick finanskrisen. Den politiska nödvändighet som avtecknar sig vid klimatdebattens horisont är knappast så entydig som den ser ut på håll. Närmare betraktad visar den sig full av moraliska avvägningar, motstridiga konsekvenser och inte minst ideologiska konfliktlinjer av samma slag som skapade atombomben. De gula västarnas uppror i Frankrike är bara ett exempel det började som bekant i en protest mot en orättvis bensinskatt. Klimatfrågorna är politiska frågor, och de kan bara få politiska svar. Jag tror därför att det olyckligaste som kan hända vore om klimatkrisen ledde till en förlängning och fördjupning av den postpolitiska epok som krymper all politisk diskussion till frågor om individuella konsumtionsval. Åka flyg eller tåg? Äta kött eller bönor? Medan subventionerna till bil- och flygtransporterna rullar vidare.Så hur vore det om vi istället försökte tänka större? Om vi istället för att ge upp makten tog den? Istället för att sätta demokratin på paus skruvade upp effekten? Antropologen Bruno Latour skriver att i det han kallar för den nya klimatregimen gäller det att ge politiken tillbaka de materiella, territoriella fundament den har förlorat under den moderna epoken något som, om man vänder på det, är samma sak som att återpolitisera ekologin. Konkret tänker han sig en global församling av vad han kallar territorier, som kan bestå såväl av traditionella nationalstater som av ekologiska enheter av typen hav eller utrotningshotade arter. Kina och EU skulle alltså på lika juridiska villkor tvingas förhandla med skogen och Antarktis glaciärer om de begränsade resurserna.Jag vet inte om det är en fungerande idé. Eller ens en bra idé. Men det är åtminstone en idé och en idé som handlar om att utveckla och utvidga demokratin, inte avveckla eller pausa den. Som Latour skriver: betänk all den tid och intellektuella möda som krävdes för att en gång mejsla fram politiska begrepp som folket eller senare, den sociala frågan. Varför skulle vår tids stora utmaning inte kräva samma ansträngning? Faktum är att det redan finns ansatser till en ordning av det här slaget, i Ecuadors beslut redan 2008 att ge regnskogen i Amazonas vissa juridiska rättigheter. Om politiken är det möjligas konst, skriver Latour, så lär vi behöva mycket konst för att utöka våra möjligheter. Och på allvar rikta politiken mot det enda mål den någonsin kan ha.

(Reklame) Efter endt uddannelse og i starten af en spirende karriere i finansbranchen, besluttede David, Mads, Andreas og Andreas, at den måde branchen forholdte sig til bæredygtighedsapspektet på, ikke var god nok. Det var simpelthen for uambitiøst. Det måtte kunne gøres mere bæredygtigt, mere transparent og være endnu mere tilgængeligt for alle. De sagde deres respektive jobs op og udviklede investerings-appen Gaia, hvor man kun kan investere bæredygtigt. Vi har snakket med Gaias direktør og medstifter David Bentzon om blandt andet deres iværksætter-rejse og hvordan investeringer via appen alle sammen skal bidrage til en positiv forandring. Vi har indgået et samarbejde med Gaia og kommer til at følge dem tæt fremover. Du kan læse mere om Gaia på deres hjemmeside her: www.trygaia.com/ Denne episode er sponsoreret af Gaia.

Hello again Dear ones, we are delighted and excited as ever to connect with you once again. We have been watching what is going on there on your planet Earth, and we wish for you dear ones to tune into your heart center for this is the highest vibration of all. Yes we know it is part of your soul mission and part of the ascension of humanity and the Earth, to speak your truth, remove the masks and step into a more authentic way of being. But we are here today through this channel to gently remind you dear ones that you do not have to hold it all. You do not have to try and fix everything. Part of Gaias energy is that of experiences of experiments of different reailtys and experiences. We see lately that a lot of you beautiful light beings are taking on too much of what is not your to carry. Yes you are all one simply experiencing different outcomes, possibilities, choices and decisions, so therefore this is part of the reason why you feel that pull to help. But we are asking you dear ones to help yourself, for when you heal yourself others heal, as does Gaia. We know that this is hard at this time as you all feel this call as lightworkers as starseeds to fulfill your soul mission, to be a beacon of light in these times where we would say things maybe don't looks so light. But again Dear ones this is just a illusion. The light is Brighter than it has ever been before, on the Earth. We are congratulationing all off you on the work that you have and are doing. With the energies that are going on now from the full moon Lunar Eclipse in sag, so many planets in retrograde, we are asking you to go inward, to take this precious time to focus your energy. To ground in Gaia, to step into the heart center. There are many awakening at this time dear ones and it is a exciting time, we are guiding you to go inwards so you can come out. Help be the way showers to the souls that are newly awakening to their true essence and being. (Channel asked for some clarification) We are not saying to disconnect from what is going on in the earth at this time. We understand the need for physicality, this is why you chose to Incarnate on the Earth plane. We do encourage you dear ones to keep speaking your truth, to keep connecting with your heart center, for it is their you relize there is no separation only oneness. The clarification on our transmission that Hazel wanted was to remind you dear ones to not stay in the shadows for to long. To not stay in the lower vibrations, although we want to underline how important it is for you to face the darkness that is not only in the world, but also the parts that are in you. So we would say dear ones to be gentle with your mind, with your body and with your soul. Please do not stay in the shadows long. We love you
