August 21, 2020 Charles Eisenstein – On Interbeing
Charles Eisenstein is an author, philosopher and speaker. In his book "The Ascent of Humanity" he seeks to answer the question "How did we end up here – at the tipping point between an alive Earth, and a dead one?". His search for answers goes all the way to the root of the human existence, as he dissects the story which underwrites that which we call "normal". The myth of our time, if you will.

This interview was conducted by Mattias Olsson in Järna, Sweden, following Charles' visit to the 10 year anniversary of the Youth Initiative Program.

August 01, 2020 Stephen Jenkinson – On Death and Dying
Stephen is an activist, teacher, author and farmer. He has a master’s degree in theology from Harvard University and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Toronto. He worked for many years in what he refers to as the “death trade” (palliative care) at a hospital in Canada, and has guided hundreds, maybe thousands of people through their dying times.

When I heard Stephen was coming to Europe with his “Nights of Grief and Mystery” tour – a mix of storytelling and concert – I immediately booked a ticket. The day after attending the show in Portsmouth on the southern coast of England, I was fortunate enough to get the chance to interview him.
