It's quite popular these days to refer to yourself as an activist. But Alastair McIntosh is the real thing. He's taken on major corporations, and won! Why? Because he believes much of the modern world is threatening our sense of place, which he believes is vital for humans to fully flourish. Tune in for a fascinating conversation! 

“On the one hand, the sense of belonging to place is hugely important. On the other hand, we need to embed that in a deeper spiritual sense of belonging where the whole cosmos becomes our home and every place where we tread a step becomes a place we should try to treat as home.” - Alastair McIntosh
