Charles Eisenstein is an independent writer and speaker on topics traversing the economy, society, spirituality and the environment. His work is renowned for its boldness and poetics. The author of six books – including Sacred Economics, Climate: A New Story and The Coronation – he is an indispensable guide towards “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”. Over the past year, Charles has become involved with Robert F. Kennedy Junior’s campaign for president of the United States.

In this episode, Charles articulates the philosophical basis for his enduring support of the localization movement, expressing how the reweaving of local connections is fundamental to birthing a new story for humanity – one based on interbeing. He considers the process of societal change itself, dissolving restrictive intellectual binaries and rigid frameworks. Instead, Charles invites action that is grounded in humility and based on the powerful combination of information and intuition.
