The Rört Podcast

In this episode I talk to Lars Lundbye, the founder of Almenr, a co-living company that brings shared ownership, community and human values into the real estate sector. In short they are making the hippie dream come alive in large scale. We talk about how most of us dream and talk about living in a community and why only few manage to manifest the dream. We explore the upsides and downsides of scaling community, benefits of starting small and also how individuals - when joining forces - can gain power and shape the(ir) world. For anyone that cares about communal living this episode is full of insights.

In this episode I talk to Birgitte Gorm about the bright and the dark side of spiritual communities. Birgitte is a clinical psychologist, phD, on of Denmarks most senior yoga teachers and ordained zen monk and on top of all that she has first hand experience with the dynamics of a spiritual cult. In this honest conversation we explore why the spiritual practice is so intimately connected to community and how community is best nurtured. We then move on to defining the cult and she help us to spot the red flags when the community is turning into the cult. Finally we explore how to bulletproof any culture from the cultish.

In this episode I talk to Sofus Midtgaard who over the past years successfully have gathered +120 men for a weekend of facing their shadows, sharing their vulnerability and also lean in to their more feminine qualities. Sofus is also behind the social app Dinnr that makes strangers meet for dinners in their private homes, while exploring topics  like jealousy, loneliness, etc. The talk is filled with insights and field notes into what it takes to gather, how to get people to lean forward. I hope this will give you courage for next time you gather with friends, family or colleagues.
