Time and again, we've examined how the challenges we face – poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, and more – are deeply intertwined. Understandably, it can start to feel pretty overwhelming. But here's the encouraging part: the solutions are just as interconnected. In this episode of Biophilic Solutions, we speak with Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder and director of Local Futures, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring ecological and social well-being by revitalizing local communities and economies. Helena envisions a world where food is grown by nearby farmers, money circulates within communities, local businesses thrive, and meaningful work is accessible to all.She argues that many of today's crises stem from an overly globalized economic system and that the path forward lies in a broad shift toward localization. Helena advocates for a more informed and intentional public that values local economies and deeper connections with nature. In our conversation, we explore the power of local food systems, the importance of community and ecological bonds, and the role vulnerability plays in healing. Drawing on lessons from indigenous cultures, Helena makes a compelling case for localization as a path toward greater social cohesion and environmental resilience.Show NotesAbout HelenaPlanet Local Summit | September 3-7 | LadakhLocal FuturesAncient Futures: Learning From Ladakh by Helena Norberg HodgeLocal Is Our Future: Steps to an Economics of Happiness by Helena Norberg HodgeTo Heal the Planet We Must First Heal Ourselves (Urth Magazine)Key Words: local, localism, economy, economics, local economy, community, indigenous community, indigenous wisdom, Local Futures, farmers market, global economy, globalism, capitalism, nature, nature based solutions, biophilia, biophilic design, Helena Norberg-HodgeBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

Decolonizing our diet means incorporating traditional foods to preserve and nurture our mind, body and spirit and eliminate diseases that have long impacted Indigenous peoples. Jared Qwustenuxun Williams - is a passionate Indigenous Foods educator who spent much of his youth with his late grandmother, immersed in Salish culture. After Qwustenuxun graduated from culinary arts, he spent a decade working in restaurants across Vancouver Island before deciding to move back home to Quw'utsun to take the role of Elder's Kitchen Manager at Cowichan Tribes. After more than a decade of cooking for his elders, Qwustenuxun now works as an Indigenous foods educator, writer, and consultant. Most recently, Qwustenuxun was nominated for and won several Canadian Online Publishing Awards; he was also nominated for the 2022 BC Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Award and led the first smoked salmon project conducted by the First Nations Health Authority. That proved that traditional salmon smoking techniques are safe and effective for food preservation.

He has a national VA teaching position as a Whole Health Education Champion — teaching VA staff about Whole Health and person-centered care. David has spoken internationally and developed classes on self-care and well-being for veterans, staff, and health professional students.Writing about staff wellness, trauma, post-traumatic growth, healing and spirituality, transformation, holistic health, and the healing power of story and creativity, David has authored several books. An ongoing collaboration with co-author, Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow) explores a cooperative framework for healing through learning and cultural tradition. David is a painter, but he also considers the identity of artist more broadly, in that we are all artists looking for the right medium to work in. Art and creativity are often missing from medicine, but are vital dimensions of healing."Walking the Medicine Wheel: Healing Trauma & PTSD" is a deeply insightful book that blends indigenous wisdom, particularly from Native American traditions, with modern psychological approaches to healing trauma and PTSD. The author, Breene M. D., utilizes the Medicine Wheel — a sacred symbol representing cycles, balance, and healing — as a framework for understanding and addressing trauma. The book provides readers with a unique perspective on emotional and psychological recovery, encouraging readers to align their inner selves and restore balance in their lives.Through this healing journey, Breene explores the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional aspects of trauma, and presents a holistic approach to restoring harmony. The book emphasizes mindfulness, self-compassion, and connecting with nature, along with addressing past trauma from a place of acceptance and strength. It serves as a guide for those who are working through PTSD and seeking to reconnect with their authentic selves.www.DavidKopacz.comResources:www.SoulAwakeningStore.comwww.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQSupport the show

In this episode, co-hosts Peterson Toscano (he/him) and Miche McCall (they/them) explore the deep connections between Quaker spirituality, nature, and Indigenous wisdom. This episode features Gail Melix, an Indigenous Quaker who shares how walking in the woods transformed her experience of burnout into a practice of prayerful meditation. Paula Palmer examines the legacy of Quaker-run Indigenous boarding schools and the painful losses experienced by Indigenous children. We also hear about Robin Wall Kimmerer's book The Serviceberry, which invites us to reimagine our relationship with abundance, reciprocity, and the natural world. Healing Through Walking Meditation: Gail Greenwater's Story Gail Melix (also known as Greenwater,) a member of Sandwich Meeting in Massachusetts and a member of the Herring Pond Wampanoag tribe, shares how she found healing through daily woodland walks. Facing burnout from social justice work, Gail sought guidance from Quaker and Indigenous elders and turned to nature for restoration. Through walking meditation, she discovered deep stillness, a renewed sense of peace, and even moments of profound connection with wildlife. In The Delight of Being a Walking Prayer: Meditation for Healing, published in the February 2025 issue of Friends Journal, Gail reflects on the gifts of nature, the importance of listening to the land, and how slowing down can restore inner balance. Reckoning with the Legacy of Quaker Boarding Schools Paula Palmer, a Quaker researcher and activist, delves into the historical trauma inflicted by Quaker-run Indigenous boarding schools. Through an excerpt from a QuakerSpeak video, Paula describes how Indigenous children were forcibly separated from their families and stripped of their cultural identity. Many Quakers at the time failed to recognize the value of Indigenous cultures, blinded by the assumption that assimilation was an act of benevolence. Paula reminds us that true healing requires listening, truth-telling, and ongoing dialogue with Indigenous communities. You can watch the full QuakerSpeak video, The Lasting Trauma of Quaker Indigenous Boarding Schools, on YouTube or at QuakerSpeak.com. Many thanks to Layla Cuthrell, producer of QuakerSpeak.   The Gift Economy and Abundance: Robin Wall Kimmerer's The Serviceberry In The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, Robin Wall Kimmerer explores the idea that wealth is not measured by accumulation but by generosity. She describes harvesting serviceberries alongside birds, witnessing the mutual exchange that defines a healthy ecosystem. Drawing from Indigenous knowledge, Kimmerer challenges the scarcity-driven mindset of capitalism and invites readers to embrace a gift economy—one where all flourishing is mutual. To read Ruah Swennerfelt's full review of The Serviceberry, visit FriendsJournal.org. Answers for This Month's Question In our last episode, we asked: "What is your relationship with nature like?"

My time in Australia with Tyson Yunkaporta changed my life forever. It's impossible to fathom the depth of wisdom contained within an unbroken lineage of indigenous humans that stretches back into deep time of at least 60,000 years ago. Tyson explains how there in the ‘right way' there is no separation between the individual and the collective spirit world, and the only time you claim yourself in separation is if you are going to get into a scrap with someone. And even that has collective rules. Everything from monogamy to magic is turned on it's head from Western Culture in the traditions from down under, and it was my absolute honor to share time and space with this brother. But if you don't want to listen to this podcast, you can learn everything you need to know by paying close enough attention to the ants.

In this episode, we sit down with Amanda Tello, a powerful voice in the realms of indigenous advocacy, environmental justice, and community-centered philanthropy. Amanda shares her personal journey of reconnecting with her ancestral roots, the Esselen tribe, and how this has informed her holistic approach to healing, activism, and supporting marginalized communities. Through Amanda's insightful perspective, we explore the deep interconnectedness between the earth, our collective grief, and the urgent need for a paradigm shift in how we relate to the natural world. She eloquently articulates the earth's response to our disconnection, framing it as a call to action to address the generational trauma and systemic oppression that has severed our bonds with the land and our communities. Amanda's wisdom and passion shine through as she discusses the importance of embodying joy and self-care as acts of resistance against the capitalist and colonial structures that seek to exploit and disconnect us. Her insights on the power of community healing, the reclamation of indigenous practices, and the role of philanthropy in supporting grassroots movements are both inspiring and thought-provoking.

My guest today is my good friend Tad Hargrave.Tad is the founder of Marketing for Hippies with a mission to restore the beauty of the marketplace. He teaches folks who have a desire to do good, but hate marketing, how to articulate their work with elegance and effectiveness.Tad has spent years learning his ancestral language of Scottish Gaelic in Nova Scotia and on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. As well, for over a decade we have both attended the Orphan Wisdom School with Stephen Jenkinson in Ontario, where we have many fond memories in the teaching hall. In recent years, he's turned towards studying ancient history, comparative mythology and Indo-European folklore.In our conversation today, Tad has turned towards the fairy tale Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty) and what it might have to stay about the indigenous memory of Europe. Chances are, you've seen the Disney version of the story, though I would highly recommend you pause this episode and read the original Grimm's tale before continuing.Read the Grimm's version hereTad and I focus in on a particular moment, when after a 100 years of enchanted sleep, the prince approaches the briar hedge that encircles the castle and the Beauty lying within. We explore themes of seduction versus courtship and degradation of trust between men and women. We speak about the historical role of the Court and the tragedy of extracting too much from Nature's innate abundance.And finally, we explore how folk tales can hold practical wisdom for modern masculinity and how to sustain the mutual life between humans and the holy.The Mythic Masculine is a reader-supported publication.
