The Seeds Will Grow

We've never been more connected. So why do so many of us feel alone?

In this eye-opening conversation, Finn Harries sits down with Helena Norberg-Hodge; author, activist, and one of the world's most qualified voices on community building.

Helena was one of the first westerners to live in the remote Himalayan region of Ladakh. Over a decade, she witnessed as modern consumerism completely transformed that community. It fundamentally altered her understanding of what it means to live a good life.

Her findings are something we can all implement. We can all start today.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pace of life, struggled with comparison culture, or wondered whether there's a better way to live, this episode is for you.

After years of touring the world, playing festivals and sold-out shows with Groove Armada, Andy Cato stumbled across a question that changed the course of his life: where does our food really come from?

What followed was a journey from electronic music to regenerative farming. Complete with failed harvests, depleted soils, financial risks and ultimately a deep rediscovery of a sense of wonder.

Andy is now on a mission to fix what he sees as a broken food system by connecting farmers and consumers back to the land their food comes from.

The world doesn’t need fewer humans - it needs healed humans.

For many of us, the dominant story of the environmental movement has been shaped by guilt, fear and the belief that humanity is fundamentally destructive.

Indigenous academic, writer and speaker Dr. Lyla challenges the idea that humans have always existed in opposition to nature. In her groundbreaking thesis Architects of Abundance, she uncovered evidence that Indigenous peoples across the world actively shaped landscapes for thousands of years. Revealing that people were not conquerors of nature, but as stewards, gardeners and keystone species within it.

In this episode, Finn Harries and Dr. Lyla talk about breaking patterns of addiction, re-defining self-worth, connecting to ancestral identity, learning from Indigenous knowledge and building a world view that honours the unique role that humans play.

Dr. Lyla says the most radical change we can make is unlearning the shame of being human. The future relies on remembering that we belong here.

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.
