This podcast wants to be a platform for people to share their stories. Stories that tell us how people from different backgrounds and professions found a way to work with environmental concerns in times of climate change in order to make a difference for our planet and all life on it. These can be artists trying to touch our emotions, scientists delivering data and new insights, authors giving us the words to talk about these topics, athletes raising awareness for the beauty of nature, or anyone else with their "climate story" to tell.
My name is Katharina Meister. I am an independent visual artist, educator and environmental science student.
I have always wanted to be an artist. Straight after school I studied fine arts at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Germany, but not long into my studies, I discovered my love for nature and my passion for science and started to combine these fields with my art. As the concern about climate change grew louder in society my vision became clearer: I wanted to use my art to present this topic from a more creative and emotional point of view. I wanted to convert scientific facts into visual form to thus offer an additional way to look into this subject. Today it is clear, that climate change is such an overarching issue, that it can only be solved and needs to be addressed interdisciplinary.
I regard this podcast as a piece of art, however it is an artwork that has more than one creator. It is an art work that is created by all the interview guests I had and will have on the show.

#19 Balanced mind balanced world
“Balanced mind balanced world” is the short version of a piece of wisdom, that has been gifted to me this week. As the title says it is about the thought that the state of our world, how unbalanced and degraded it is, is a mirror image of the stage of our minds. In turn this would mean, that if more if us would do internal work and establish a more balanced mind and way of living we would create collaboratively a more balanced and sustainable world.
Thank you for listening!
