In the seventh episode of the Schumacher Conversations, Mary Berry and Bill McKibben emphasize the importance of imagining new models for living and being while resisting predominant economic, social, and ecological paradigms. They discuss the conditions necessary for implementing good farming practices on a wide scale as a way to combat the climate crisis. Moderated by Schumacher Center board member and CODEPINK co-founder, Jodie Evans.

Mary Berry and Bill McKibben in Conversation

On a rocky outcropping off the northeastern coast of England, the monastery of Lindisfarne once stood as an outpost of religious, philosophic, and intellectual study against the “dark” times of early medieval Europe. Inspired by the foresight and dogged determination of these medieval monks, William Irwin Thompson founded the Lindisfarne Association in 1972 to gather together bold scientists, scholars, artists, and contemplatives to realize a new planetary culture in the face of the political, cultural, and environmental crises of the twentieth century.

Brought to you by the Schumacher Center for a New Economics, The Lindisfarne Tapes podcast represents some of the most visionary thinking of the time, drawing connections between culture, economics, society, and technology. While the germs of new ideas contained in these tapes are now beginning to take root, they remain an invaluable source of speculative thinking that will continue to inspire our visions of a more just and regenerative future.
