We Need to Act

How is our relationship with Earth? Are we honoring the gifts we've received and taking responsibility to reciprocate? Currently, we exist in a hierarchical relationship with Nature, and we find ourselves in a transitional phase. How can we acknowledge that our humanity derives from more than just human beings? From indigenous knowledge to restoring relationships and the role of technology, I invite you to explore this topic in the latest episode of the We Need to Act podcast.

In today’s episode, I am excited to welcome Ryan James, also known as Ra. He is a trailblazer in regenerative systems change, working to shift business worldviews and mindsets to embody the transformative changes our future requires. He transcends conventional business practices and integrates various disciplines, including linguistics, animism and kinship, ecological economics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and traditional Indigenous knowledge systems. Together, we will explore post-anthropocentric approaches to systems change.

After our last episode featuring Faye and Erik Krippner, where we discussed the connection between nature and our well-being, we want to help you start 2025 in the best possible way. We aim for a stress-free mindset, a sense of connection, and the hope to take action even when faced with challenges.

Take a moment to listen to this meditation by Faye Krippner and embrace the healing power of being in nature.

New Year, new podcast episode! This time, it's wrapped in a special gift: a bonus meditation. We want you to kick off the new year feeling re-energized, re-centered, and full of renewed hope for taking action.

The challenges we face are daunting—six out of ten planetary boundaries for a livable planet have already been crossed. Many of us often feel paralyzed by eco-anxiety, a distressing emotion related to the destruction of the environment and its consequences for all life on Earth.

In this episode, we welcome Faye and Erik Krippner, authors and massage therapists with over 20 years of collaborative experience. They combine their expertise in forestry, technical writing, and the healing arts to create NatureBody Connection, exploring the relationship between nature and our well-being.

What is the role of youth in the fight against climate change? How can young African activists raise their voices and demand more from global leaders? Is there a path to a just transition?

 In this episode, we’re joined by Nyombi Morris, a Ugandanenvironmental activist renowned for his advocacy for climate justice and gender equality. Nyombi’s activism began when he urged world leaders and polluters to take action on climate change, inspired by the devastating rains and floods inUganda. He is also the CEO of Earth Volunteers, a non-profit organization he founded to further his mission.

 This episode was recorded a few months ago but since then, Nyombi’s situation has dramatically changed. The Ugandan government has accused him of “promoting homosexuality,” forcing him into exile. The 26-year-old climate activist, who became outspoken about LGBTQ+ rights after his sister was expelled from school last year for being lesbian, has faced intense backlash for his advocacy.
