In this engaging episode, we sit down with sustainability expert Benjamin Casteillo to explore the concept of the global “polycrisis” and “metacrisis,” delving into how interconnected crises challenge our current approaches to problem-solving. Benjamin explains why tackling these issues in isolation falls short and advocates for a systemic, transdisciplinary shift toward sustainable living.

As the founder of New World Together, Benjamin is dedicated to raising awareness of unconscious behaviors driving self-destructive patterns, emphasizing the importance of addressing collective trauma. Throughout the discussion, we examine how primal survival instincts shape socio-political dynamics and influence today’s global challenges.

This conversation is a powerful call for a shift in human consciousness and highlights the tools—such as workshops, conferences, and collaboration—needed to ignite sustainable global change.
