For this first episode of the Beloved Futures podcast, Aubrey talks with her dear friend Yael Marantz. Yael is a strategist, systems-thinker, biomimicry practitioner and community builder. She has over a decade of experience in communications, design-thinking and innovation. As she awakened to the intelligence and solutions found in Nature and launched Mimetika, a biomimetic-led consultancy pioneering life-centered design.

Understanding the implications of our meta-crisis, Yael immersed herself in communities and cultures outside of the dominant system while completing her masters on how we can reimagine communities through Nature's genius.

Yael is a founding steward of Brave Earth (Tierra Valiente), center for applied cultural transition, and Fuerza De Amor, a community resilience network, in Costa Rica.

Yael serves as the Managing Director of Culture Hack Labs and devotes herself to creating narratives in service to life to create systems change. She is a Moon Dancer, self professed mermaid and one who lives life as ceremony in devotion to the earth and all her forms.
