Institute for Ecological Civilization
We are in the midst of an emergency. It's not just the climate; it's us. Conversations for a Life Economy: The Podcast, is for those of us who are watching but who have not stepped up yet. For those of us who are advocating but tired. For those of us who are burnt-out and unsure but hopeful. This podcast extends on the project Conversations for a Life Economy (a video panel series hosted by EcoCiv on YouTube), and the 2020 Imaginal Conversations (a series of private conversations hosted by Reboot the Future). All together, these three projects engage participants about the intimate, personal values that feed their work towards a Life Economy. A Life Economy is a system that works for the wellbeing of all life on our planet.
