• Save the World by Becoming the World with John Seed

  Can birdsong heal your hearing? Can a rainforest recruit humans to protect it? What is deep ecology, anyway?Of all the approaches to “saving the world”, this one has my heart. Join me in conversation with elder John Seed as we get to the marrow of the environmental crisis, from the illusion of separation between human beings and nature, to the rituals, ceremonies and stories that can heal it.About John SeedJust last year at age 79 John was arrested for strapping himself to logging machinery in the Bulga State Forest, and has been awarded the Order of Australia medal for his services to the environment. John launched the Rainforest Information Center, has initiated global rainforest action networks and campaigns, developed The Council of All Beings with Joanna Macy, co-authored Thinking Like A Mountain with Joanna Macy Pat Fleming and Arne Ness, and spent decades facilitating experiential deep ecology workshops.IN THIS CONVOJohn’s story of being called into service by NatureCollaborating with Joanna MacyThe root of the planetary crisisCommunity therapies to heal civilisational woundsBusiness As Usual, The Great Unravelling, The Great TurningThe Work That ReconnectsActivism as ceremonyThe antidote to cultural amnesiaWhy John loves podcasts!How not to judge gross human behaviourHonouring our pain for the worldFeelings as ancient intelligenceCan anyone run a grief circle?The council of all beingsThe cosmic walk🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOSJohn Seed’s home on the webThe Rainforest Information Center[read online] Thinking Like A Mountain by John Seed, Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming & Arne NessDeep Ecology The Work That Reconnects🧡Support Reskillience on Patreon🧡Field recording credit: Thrushes, golden whistlers, yellow faced honeyeaters and a spotted marsh frog by Afro408 License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0
