Podcasts about panu

Thomas and Panu unpacked the emotional and psychological effects we experience when we have an opportunity to see our planet and lands from on high. Artificial borders disappear and natural and human systems and patterns are revealed. Artists, explorers, and land and species protectors have long used visions of “Earth from Above” to raise our awareness and consciousness, and you can expand your own vision too.

Ef. 4,17-30 17 To więc mówię i nalegam w Panu, abyście już nie postępowali tak, jak postępują poganie, próżni w swych dążeniach, 18 pokrętni w swych pomysłach, dalecy od życia Bożego przez nieświadomość, która ich zaślepia, i przez niewrażliwość ich serca. 19 Wyzbyli się oni uczuć i chciwie gonią za rozpustą oraz wszelką nieczystością. 20 Wy jednak nie tak nauczyliście się Chrystusa, 21 bo przecież to Jego usłyszeliście i w Nim was pouczono, jako że prawda jest w Jezusie. 22 Wiecie, że macie zedrzeć z siebie starego człowieka, który hołdował dawnemu sposobowi życia i którego niszczyły zwodnicze żądze. 23 Zamiast tego macie poddawać się odnowie w duchu waszego umysłu 24 i oblec się w nowego człowieka, stworzonego według Boga w sprawiedliwości i świętości prawdy. 25 Dlatego odrzućcie kłamstwo i mówcie sobie nawzajem prawdę. Jesteśmy przecież dla siebie jakby członkami jednego ciała. 26 Gniewajcie się, lecz nie grzeszcie. Niech słońce nie zachodzi nad waszym gniewem 27 i nie dawajcie diabłu przystępu. 28 Kto kradnie, niech kraść przestanie i raczej ciężko pracuje, aby miał z czego wspierać potrzebujących. 29 Niech z waszych ust nie wychodzi żadne zepsute słowo. Mówcie tylko o tym, co dobre, dla zbudowania w potrzebie, tak by na słuchających mogła spływać łaska. 30 Nie zasmucajcie też Bożego Ducha Świętego, którym was opieczętowano na dzień odkupienia.

Onko automaattisen tietojenkäsittelyn aika vihdoin täällä, kun erilaiset agenttisoftat pääsevät käyttämään tietokoneita ihmisten puolesta? Kolmikko pohtii, onko ATK:sta tullut omaa häntäänsä syövä ourobouros vai onko kuitenkin niin, että unelma autonomisesti ihmisten ongelmia ratkovista tietokoneista on edelleen muutaman askeleen päässä? Panu kertoo, millaiset suojakerrokset hän on claw-agenteilleen rakentanut, kun taas Kari ja Olli ovat skeptisemmällä kannalla.

Tässä kysymyksiä puheesta pohdittavaksi yksin tai yhdessä: Jeesus puhuu vertauksessa, kuinka jokainen hänen seuraaja on oksa Viiniköynöksessä, Jeesuksessa. Miten koet ajatuksen, että Jumalan elämä ja olemus; rakkaus, ilo ja rauha virtaavat elämääsi ja elämäsi kautta, teitpä mitään tai et? Millaista siihen on luottaa, onko asioita jotka voisivat auttaa luottamaan siihen enemmän? Varhaisilla kirkonopettajilla oli ajatus jumalallistumisesta: "Jumala tuli ihmiseksi, että ihminen voi tulla jumalalliseksi." Taustana tällä on 2.Piet. 1:3-4. "Hänen jumalallinen voimansa on lahjoittanut meille kaiken, mikä kuuluu Jumalan tahdon mukaiseen elämään. Olemmehan mekin oppineet tuntemaan hänet, joka on kutsunut meidät omikseen vallallaan ja hyvillä teoillaan. Sen myötä olemme saaneet kaikkein suurimmat ja arvokkaimmat lupaukset. Näin teistäkin tulee katoamattomia kuin Jumala." Millaisia ajatuksia jumalallistuminen herättää? Millaista on ajatella olevansa prosessissa muuttua Jumalan kaltaiseksi, mitkä asiat vaikeuttavat, entä mitkä asiat auttavat prosessia? Jeesuksen mukaan me onnistumme kantamaan hedelmää, kun täytäämme hänen käskynsä: "Rakastakaa toisianne, niin kuin minä olen rakastanut teitä." Millaiset asiat auttavat sinua täyttämään tätä käskyä? Panun mukaan Jumala leikkaa lempeästi pois elämästämme hedelmää tuottamattomat oksat. Tunnistatko jotain, mitä toivoisit Jumalan leikkaavan pois elämästäsi? Haluatko jakaa asiasta, voimmeko rukoilla asian puolesta? Ja muista, että jos tuo asia palaa uudelleen elämääsi, Taivaallinen Isä on kärsivällinen viininviljelijä, hän uudelleen ja uudelleen lempeästi leikkaa oksia pois. - - - Verkosto on pääkaupunkiseudulla toimiva evankelis-luterilainen seurakuntayhteisö.

Bogu, którego słowo wysławiać będę, Panu, którego słowo wysławiać będę. Ps 56,11 Słowo ciałem się stało i zamieszkało wśród nas, i ujrzeliśmy chwałę jego, chwałę, jaką ma jedyny Syn od Ojca, pełne łaski i prawdy. J 1,14 O Panie, coś dzisiaj dla nas się narodził, niech będzie Ci chwała i moc, i cześć! Słowo wcielone Ojca od wieczności, dajemy pokłon Tobie, dajemy pokłon Tobie – Królowi! ŚE 72,4; John Francis Wade †1786

Join Thomas and Panu to listen in on their great  conversation with Katharine Wilkinson who reflected on her career as a woman working in climate science and policy, and how she reached back to her roots with her latest book and program Climate Wayfinding. “Sometimes I think the paradox of calling is that we have certainty and uncertainty in the same breath.” — Katharine Wilkinson, from the episode

Thomas and Panu had a stimulating and wide ranging conversation with John Fraser who reflected on his career as an architect, zoo and museum designer, pioneer in conservation psychology, and creator of innovative nonprofit knowledge and conservation groups. We focused on practical ways to support wildlife and conservation professionals amidst the emotional toll of their globally important work. John also spoke about how social cohesion and community bonds build resilience in small towns like his home in Seward, Alaska.

Thomas and Panu unravel the powerful stories behind the birth of the first Earth Day—how a simple idea, driven by US citizens from diverse backgrounds, transcended partisanship and grew into a movement with billions of supporters worldwide. You'll learn some of the mythological and cultural symbolism that makes Earth Day—and the recent Artemis II moon mission—resonate deeply across traditions and generations. You'll also find practical ways to reclaim Earth Day, celebrating not just ecological awareness, but our own personal connection to nature and our collective future.

Flp. 4,1-9 (1) Przeto, bracia moi umiłowani i pożądani, radości i korono moja, trwajcie w Panu, umiłowani. (2) Upominam Ewodię i upominam Syntychę, aby były jednomyślne w Panu. (3) Proszę także i ciebie, wierny mój towarzyszu, zajmij się nimi, wszak one dla ewangelii razem ze mną walczyły wespół z Klemensem i z innymi współpracownikami moimi, których imiona są w księdze żywota. (4) Radujcie się w Panu zawsze; powtarzam, radujcie się. (5) Skromność wasza niech będzie znana wszystkim ludziom: Pan jest blisko. (6) Nie troszczcie się o nic, ale we wszystkim w modlitwie i błaganiach z dziękczynieniem powierzcie prośby wasze Bogu. (7) A pokój Boży, który przewyższa wszelki rozum, strzec będzie serc waszych i myśli waszych w Chrystusie Jezusie. (8) Wreszcie, bracia, myślcie tylko o tym, co prawdziwe, co poczciwe, co sprawiedliwe, co czyste, co miłe, co chwalebne, co jest cnotą i godne pochwały. (9) Czyńcie to, czego się nauczyliście i co przejęliście, co słyszeliście, i co widzieliście u mnie; a Bóg pokoju będzie z wami. Nauczanie z dnia 19 kwietnia 2026

Ever wondered why some people burn out or quit activism despite caring deeply? Panu and Thomas spoke with Swedish Ph.D. researcher Britta Eklöf who explored this question. Many long-term activists face barriers like social disconnection, exhaustion, and doubts about their impact. Britta's research shows these obstacles are interconnected, and that small changes can make a huge difference. Creating social support, clear roles, and space for emotions can boost resilience and keep activists involved. It's not just about fighting for solutions, it's about sustaining ourselves while doing it. Join us for the conversation.

Panu Hörkkö kertoo, miten hän päätyi paparazzin uralle ja millaista työ paparazzina Suomessa on. Hän avaa, millaista on itse olla julkisuudessa ja, miten perhe on suhtautunut hänen uraansa. Hörkkö jakaa myös uransa varrelta mieleenpainuvimpia hetkiä ja kokemuksia. Entä millaista kohtelua paparazzi saa ja arvostetaanko hänen työtään? Lisäksi hän pohtii, miten viihdemaailma ja media ovat muuttuneet vuosien saatossa ja miten paparazzin rooli on muuttunut osana kehitystä.

„To jest propozycja pana prezydenta i prezesa Narodowego Banku Polskiego, propozycja skierowana do rządu, propozycja, która jest alternatywą dla SAFE unijnego, dla pożyczki unijnej” – mówił Gość Krzysztofa Ziemca, podsekretarz stanu i rzecznik prezydenta Rafał Leśkiewicz w RMF FM o programie „polski SAFE 0 procent”. Jak zaznaczył, „rząd powinien się nad tym bardzo głęboko zastanowić”.

Panu and Thomas explored the increasing vilification of environmental and social protest. They reviewed research on the "repertoire of oppression” that state and corporate groups are employing such as disingenuous application of laws regarding terrorism and organized crime to non-violent, legal protest actions by the public and advocacy groups. These tactics enable more oppressive and violent police action, that in some cases are used to justify brutality, killings and disappearances. While these repressive acts are typically associated with authoritarian states, they are alarmingly being used in democratic societies including Finland, the UK and the US. At the same time, counter-movements are also using legal methods to pursue more strenuous charges of “ecocide” and “climate atrocities” and practicing new and creative forms of resistance and grass roots organizing. As Panu noted, oppressive government actions can have unintended outcomes, for those who stand for Earth: Criminalization unites us even more.

Hallo! Mit gerümpften Nasen startet diese neue Folge in Hagrid seiner Hütte. Es duftet gar fein, denn Panu und Pichel, die beiden Parfüme aus Paraguay haben ihre liebsten Düfte im Gepäck.

Panu and Thomas reflected on the passage of the winter season in Northern climes, lengthening daylight and earliest signs of spring. Thomas shared ways for listeners to revisit their New Year's goals and resolutions from a systems view – not just as singular actions but as ways of creating a healthy synergy in one's life. He highlighted that small changes – forgoing unhealthy food or drink, starting a new exercise plan, or doing a daily journal – can lead to broader changes in your life and relationships. Adding something demonstrably healthy will tend to beget health. Taking away something demonstrably unhealthy will tend to beget health. It's the synergy. And further – resolutions should be seen as part of a larger system, where your personal health improvements influence and connect with broader social and environmental systems. This approach works because it reframes your resolutions as part of a larger, interconnected whole, making them feel more meaningful and impactful, which can motivate you to pursue them with greater commitment. And, it's not too late to start.  He and Panu also validated pressures for political action in service of justice and human rights that listeners may be experiencing given threats to civil liberty in the US and other places. Can listeners imagine their individual impulses to greater health as part of their quest for societal health?   

This was a fascinating episode! Thomas and Panu welcomed Dr. Wendy Johnson, a family and addiction medicine physician, to discuss her book "Kinship Medicine." Dr. Johnson shared her journey from political advocacy to medicine (“I went to medical school to do politics better.”) and the discussion delved into the social determinants of health, the historical roots of Western medicine, and the need for collective, relationship-based approaches to well-being (“Wellness comes from communal strength.”). Wendy drew a metaphor from the chrysalis stage of development, emphasizing the importance of planting seeds for a better future and the role of “imaginal disks” that hold blueprints for future transformation. Join us for an inspiring talk in the new year. 

Thomas and Panu reflected on the winter season and the new year with Stephanie Kaza, noted Buddhist and environmental scholar. Stephanie shared her journey from Ohio to Buffalo to Vermont to Oregon, highlighting the profound impact of natural landscapes on her psyche. The conversation stressed the significance of community, mindfulness, and seasonal rituals in connecting with nature and coping with eco-anxiety. As Stephanie noted, "Spring starts in January" and having a mindful attitude helps us to pay attention to the world and note the subtle and never-ceasing seasonal changes. Join us for a observant welcome to the new year.

Thomas and Panu reflected on the end of the year and the winter season. They invited listeners with some provocative questions: “What does the Earth in me need?” “How to care for your Soul in a world and systems that are soulless?”  “How to honor fatigue after a tough year?” “How to keep an open mind, an open heart, open breath, and open hands?” And the podcast's theme question: “How to be happy, ethically, in the modern world?” Panu talked about his explorations with somatic therapy and breathing exercises. Thomas read a selection—“A Manifesto for Flourishing" (at minute 22:30)—from his new book Surviving Climate Anxiety. Join us for an honest and uplifting episode.

Thomas and Panu had a great discussion with Brother Phap Luu, a US born Buddhist monk in the Plum Village tradition, and co-author of Hiking Zen. Topics included the dynamics of hiking meditation, the role of mindfulness and Buddhist thought in an engaged and ethical life, ways to find peace amid the furor of politics and climate threats.

As the end of the year and traditional holiday travel calls, many also consider the social and environmental impacts of traveling. One area where people can have control over required travel is in the structure of business and academic meetings. Thomas and Panu spoke with Josh Gutwill & Sue Allen of the Clean Conferencing Institute about new, positive trends in virtual and hybrid meetings. Many lessons have been learned since the rapid, sometimes awkward transition online during the COVID era. Beyond the environmental benefits, one clear finding is that using up-to-date online platforms makes it easier for a wider range of people to participate and contribute who might otherwise face barriers in traditional meeting settings. 

„Když jsem začal mít problémy, tak mě na začátku ani nenapadlo, že by to mohlo být psychikou, respektive asi jsem si to nechtěl přiznat,“ říká pan Boris. Nejprve začal navštěvoval praktického lékaře, nakonec ale vyhledal odbornou pomoc a začal chodit na terapii.

Thomas and Panu engaged with Rebecca Weston, lawyer, clinician and Co-Executive Director of the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America. Rebecca shared her journey of empowerment about climate therapy, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding of denial and fear surrounding climate change. The conversation delved into the significance of attachment and relationships in shaping our responses to environmental crises. As an organizational leader, Rebecca reflected on the challenges and growth opportunities within the Climate Psychology Alliance, such as securing funding and support for grassroots climate initiatives.

Your environmental identity is a core source of strength and long-term coping with eco and climate stresses. This was the theme of this episode as Panu spoke with Thomas about Part II – Identity – of Thomas's new book Surviving Climate Anxiety. As Thomas explained, each chapter, “Meaning,” “Values,” “Nature” and “Family” highlights a core aspect of environmental identity and how it's made and maintained.  Panu and Thomas also discussed the recent New York City Climate Week activities as an example of positive changes and opportunities to engage with gifted leaders and innovators. Join us for an inspiring discussion!

Thomas and Panu discussed Thomas's new book, Surviving Climate Anxiety and its messages about coping with climate change by focusing on happiness and thriving. Thomas offered an inside view of the book and how it would benefit readers. He shared insights from his psychology background and emphasized the importance of understanding our emotions and identities. Pnau and Thomas also talked about using storytelling to connect with readers and how personal stories can help us understand and tackle climate-related challenges. Join us for a thoughtful conversation about finding hope in difficult times.

From Lessons From the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth “In 2014, when Kate Schapira first set up a Climate Anxiety Counseling booth in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, far fewer people were talking about climate change and its attendant anxiety, leaving those who couldn't ignore climate change and the forces that cause it feeling frantic and alone.  Seeking a way to reach out and connect, Schapira set up a  Peanuts-style "The Doctor Is In" booth to talk about climate change with her community. Ten years and over 1200 conversations later, Schapira channels all she's learned into an accessible, understandable, and aware guide for processing climate anxiety and connecting with others to carry out real change in your life and in your community.” Join Kate in discussion with Panu and Thomas, and learn how you too can create safe spaces to talk, feel and dream about how we can master and move through the climate crisis. 

Thomas and Panu were joined by Sarah Newman and Larissa Dooley of the Climate Mental Health Network. Sarah discussed her long-standing personal experience with eco-anxiety, and how it influenced her life choices and led her to establish the Network. Larissa, Director of Research and Programs, first learned of climate change's psychological effects during her graduate studies; the increasing frequency of wildfires in California later motivated her to devote her research to addressing the mental health impacts of climate change. The group discussed how Panu's insights on climate emotions and grief have been influential on the Network's programs. Thomas emphasized the importance of sharing personal journeys and highlighted the inspiring nature of stories that led to the mission-driven work many individuals undertake in response to climate threats. See the show notes for helpful resources for teachers and parents from the Climate Mental Health Network. 

Thomas and Panu reflected on the profound impact of Joanna Macy on their understanding of environmental emotions and activism. Thomas highlighted Macy's role in transforming environmental engagement from an intellectual pursuit to a visceral, emotional experience. He shared a personal story of meeting Macy and read an excerpt from his new book describing one of her workshops he attended as a graduate student. Panu reflected on his experience of Macy's legacy, noting her influence on modern conceptions of eco-anxiety and empowerment, and her integration of Buddhism, ecology, spirituality and systems thinking. The discussion also highlighted some of the challenges adapting Macy's methods for broader audiences and pitfalls of idealizing Macy's “The Work that Reconnects” and its cultural background and  assumptions. The episode concluded by encouraging listeners to engage with Joanna Macy's transformative teachings for themselves. 

In this enlightening episode, Thomas and Panu sat down with Ariella Cook-Shonkoff, a licensed therapist and author of Raising Anti-Doomers: How to Bring Up Resilient Kids Through Climate Change in Tumultuous Times (2025). Ariella shared her journey from motherhood amidst California wildfires to writing a book that empowers parents to foster resilience in their children. Panu Thomas each reflected on their own parenting, and enjoyed hearing of events on Ariella's “eco-timeline” like her childhood outdoor experiences in Connecticut and her opportunity to meet one of her idols, Jane Goodall. Join us and learn more about Ariella's positive approach to parenting in the climate era. 

Thomas and Panu were joined by environmentalist Isaias Hernandez, creator of Queer Brown Vegan. Together, they explored the profound impact of identity on environmentalism, discussing how personal backgrounds, cultural heritage, and lived experiences shape one's approach to climate issues. Isaias shared his journey from growing up in Los Angeles as a first-generation immigrant to becoming a voice in the climate movement. The conversation delved into the intersectionality of race, identity, and environmental advocacy, and revealed the challenges and micro-aggressions faced by diverse students of climate science. A key take away was the importance of finding and claiming your unique place and style, not just taking in science and research but making it your own and sharing it in your own voice. Tune in to discover how embracing your identity can empower you to engage more deeply with environmental challenges.

Thomas learned about Panu's recent research with Elisa Aaltola on animal ethical mourning and how this relates to feelings people have about pets and companion animals, farmed animals and wild creatures. Like many of our emotions about nature and environmental issues, natural feelings for kindred species are often ignored, suppressed or disenfranchised (not recognized and given standing) in human-centric society and economics. Ways to enfranchise grief for animals includes being honest and bearing witness, creating art and rituals, and sponsoring community activities. Being open about your moral commitments for fellow animals, and your love, care and empathy, can bring a sense of relief, honor, rest, peace and grace. This can free up your energy and commitment to change society's practices about our fellow creatures

The Climate Change and Happiness podcast is focusing on our colleagues in Italy this season. In this episode, Thomas and Panu spoke with Milan psychiatrist Matteo Innocenti to discuss the growing awareness of climate psychology in the country. Matteo described his personal journey inspired by witnessing the effects of pollution in South Asia and how the COVID-era loss of his grandfather—a key environmental role model —inspired Matteo to devote his research to nature and issues like climate anxiety.

With the coming of spring in the northern hemisphere, Thomas and Panu looked ahead to the summer and reflected on how we can no longer take for granted (or trust) that the seasons will be as they were before. What may have been a benign and clement season may now bring unexpected and uncomfortable weather – and even extreme or dangerous conditions. This profound change affects our mood, identity, families, and life plans. They referenced their own experiences and examples from art and literature. Join us and prepare for your own new season.
