What does it mean to act — not out of certainty, but out of grief and relational sensing ?
In this quietly powerful episode, Dan sits on the land with Gavin Fernie-Jones, co-founder of the Re-Action Collective, to explore how deep connection to place, the loss of his father, and the visible unraveling of mountain ecologies catalysed a life of collective action.
From ski lifts to community sewing tables, this conversation moves across the terrain of:
🌄 Mountains as memory and mirror 🔥 The palpable grief of witnessing climate collapse in beloved places 🧵 How one collective is patching, repairing, and repurposing not just outdoor gear—but the culture of disposability 🌀 Why experimental, humble, decentralised alternatives already exist—quietly flourishing beneath the capitalist noise ❤️🩹 Grief as a portal into purpose, and what becomes possible when we stop waiting for permission
Gav and the Re-Action Collective (now 70+ organisations strong) aren’t waiting for top-down transformation. They’re making the future by hand, with care, and in kinship.
This episode invites you not just to listen—but to feel.Feel the grief. Feel the land. Feel the possibility of living otherwise.
