In this episode, host Peter Andrée and guests Leah Penniman and Jan Hania explore how inner spiritual work and personal transformation are inextricably linked to the outer work of social and environmental change. At a time when reactionary, right-wing parties or coalitions are in power in both their countries, they discuss the value of moving beyond anger toward non-violent resistance based in compassion. Building Episode 4.8 themes (“Mindful Approaches to Ecopolitics”), they also explore the importance of "hope as a practice," and how grounding oneself in awe of the earth can support the long-game work of environmental activism in the Anthropocene.
