    Vandana Shiva | On Cultivating Fearlessness

    Dr. Vandana Shiva is a lifelong activist, standing up against GMO:s, seed patenting, fake food and poisonous and extractive methods of farming. She works for the freedom of farmers to save and share seeds, for small scale, organic and regenerative farming and for thriving eco systems. She's the author of over 30 books and the founder of the organic farm, learning center and seed bank Navdanya in India. She is also a Doctor of quantum physics. In this conversation the topics range from non-violence principles to disrupting multinationals in their pursuit of turning nature into money to GMO:s, fake food, seed saving, biodynamic farming and quantum mechanics. And, most importantly, Shiva discusses fearlessness, and how that’s a trait to cultivate and grow into.

    Rune Hjarno-Rasmussen | Animism in the Modern World

    Rune Hjarno-Rasmussen is a historian of religion and a specialist on Nordic animism and shamanism. He doesn't believe that animism belongs in the dusty cabinets of the "ancient history museum of humanity", but rather wants to explore how we can merge an animistic worldview with modernity to move forward into planetary healing.

    Stephen Jenkinson | Origins of an Orphaned Culture

    Stephen Jenkinson | Origins of an Orphaned Culture

    With author, poet and grief counsellor Stephen Jenkinson, this episode revolves around the topics of Grief, Soil and the Origins of an Orphaned Culture – our culture. Our elder-bereft, drunk-on-efficiency, consumerist, clearcutting-of-forests, fracking-of-mountains, bottom-trawling-of-the-oceans culture. The unfortunate inheritance of Our Day. Some of the questions in this conversation are inspired from the interviewer’s recent reading of the book “Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn. Others come from the pain of being a human in the time of the Sixth Mass Extinction. Please visit Campfire Stories for our films and more.
