The Seeds Will Grow

To change the future, we have to change how we see ourselves.

In this episode, Finn Harries is joined by one of the people that helped to completely overhaul his worldview; biologist and author of ‘Designing Regenerative Cultures’, Daniel Christian Wahl.

Daniel shares the experiences that led him away from conventional science toward a lifetime of exploring regeneration, questioning systems and stewarding the environment.

This episode offers an inspiring new lens on how we can create conditions for life to flourish. A powerful conversation to help you remember that nature is not an “idealised middle-class place,” it is a process that you are a part of.

What world are you creating with your everyday choices?

30 years ago, Stephen Brooks witnessed the human cost of modern food production firsthand. What he saw changed the course of his life forever.

He went on to create some of the world's most talked-about permaculture communities, eco villages and the viral “Church of Fruit.”

Finn Harris speaks with Stepehen about how his communities are addressing the state of the global food system, the impact of city living and the future of biodiversity loss.

Stephen shares how he’s cracked the code to these big questions. By finding mentors, planting trees, building community and reconnecting with nature, he’s discovered that the solutions we've been looking for are right in front of us.

Can success buy you a sense of belonging?

Poppy's journey takes her from catwalks and fashion campaigns, to growing food in Devon. But this isn't really a conversation about gardening, rather about what happens when you stop chasing "success" and start paying attention to what your body needs.

Finn Harries and Poppy talk about how their past lives left them feeling anxious and detached and what they healed through connecting to nature. Plus they share some truths about what it truly takes to create a community.

If modern life and the pressures it brings has left you feeling depleted and disconnected, this conversation is a good place to start finding your way back to yourself.

Is loving the future the most radical thing we can do?

So many of us feel overwhelmed by the climate crisis. Our timelines and news feeds are filled with stories of separation, extraction, and collapse. But ecologist Thomas Crowther believes we're overlooking one of the most powerful forces in nature: feedback loops.

From near-death experiences to some of the biggest ecological discoveries of our time, Tom shares how his understanding of forests, soil, biodiversity and regeneration has transformed the way he sees both nature and our collective future.

Together, Finn and Tom explore climate anxiety, restoration, regenerative agriculture, ecosystem recovery, mental health and the unexpected reasons we should all have hope.

What if the future you were promised is no longer guaranteed?

In 2018, Jem Bendell published Deep Adaptation; a paper that quietly became one of the most controversial and influential documents in the climate movement.

Jem argued that we're not simply facing climate change, but the potential collapse of many of the systems we've built our lives on.

For Finn, and many others, reading that paper became a turning point and ultimately set him on the path that led to the life he's living today.

Far from a conversation about doom, this episode asks a deeper question:

If the future is uncertain, how should we live today?

Join Finn Harries and Jem Bendell as they discuss finding meaning when the stories we've built our lives around begin to fall apart.
