Wonderspace

This week on Wonderspace we orbit with B. Lorraine Smith who is an independent researcher, writer and guide on the path to industrial healing. Her vision is an economy that works in service of life where all industrial activities make people and ecosystems healthier.

Lorraine builds on decades of experience in corporate sustainability across numerous industries and regions and was nominated by our 61st guest on Wonderspace Cora Olson from Copenhagen who described Lorraine as a 'massive inspiration’.

"I serve a corporate mischief role, a court jester to the industrial complex, and I invite others to come along and see reality as it is right now and imagine it as it could be working in service of life”.

Lorraine was nominated by our 61st guest on Wonderspace Cora Olsen from Better Energy in Copenhagen who described Lorraine as a 'massive inspiration’.

In response to our question 5, Lorraine passionately promotes the work of POSSIBLE FUTURES. An endeavour that aims to make visible the Global South's stories and narratives of a history of colonisation and oppression, and formulate regenerative narratives relevant in the Global South's complex, diverse contexts and cultures.

She is also a Musical Director, Songwriter and the author of the book 'What Does it Matter?' which was released in the States a few weeks back and is released this week in the UK.
"I had this message that I wanted to get out there because I was having the same conversation again and again with people who are feeling overwhelmed and stressed, who honestly were making themselves unhappy trying to be happy. And so I've written a book, exploring different elements of life, how we might be able to be content, find contentment and reduce our stress levels."

This week on Wonderspace we orbit with Simon Lamb who is a freelance writer, photographer and coach. He has also been given 20 acres of the family farm as a testbed in the pursuit of nutrient rich soil which he talks about in his story of hopefulness.

On this week's episode of Wonderspace, we orbit with Jyoti Fernandes, a smallholder farmer on a regenerative holding in the UK and the head of policy at the Landworkers Alliance, a union of farmers, growers, foresters, and land-based workers with a mission to create a better food and land-use system for everyone. Jyoti was nominated by a farmer and the host of the farmerama podcast, Abby Rose, who was our 44th guest on Wonderspace.

On the Wonderspace Podcast this week we orbit with Jennifer Nadel. A qualified barrister, author, activist, award-winning television journalist and the founder of Compassion in Politics which has inspired active engagement from over 100 MPs and other parliaments and groups around the world who want to prioritise compassion.

Today we reach the milestone of 100 Wonderspace Podcast episodes. Over the past two and a half years we have welcomed guests from over 50 cities around the world who have all shared their wonders and stories of hopefulness.

We have decided to use our 100th episode to amplify the issue of STATELESSNESS which impacts over five hundred thousand people in Europe and over fifteen million worldwide.

To bring the issue alive, we asked our six Wonderspace questions to an extraordinary and inspiring woman called Chistiana Bukalo from Germany who founded Statefree and is herself stateless. We also feature Chris Nash who is the Director of The European Network on Statelessness.

We would love you to consider listening to this special 20 min episode and sharing it out as a way of bringing attention to an issue that is rarely talked about.

To find out more go to https://www.statelessness.eu and https://statefree.world

Thanks to all our amazing Wonderspace guests and to the team at Ask Nature and the Biomimicry Institute who have provided weekly moments of wonder. Finally thanks to Dan Potter and Sam Cole who have edited, designed and produced every episode.

You can listen to all 100 episodes at https://ourwonder.space

Here’s to many more orbits!

Love,
