The Life Itself HubCast: Recent Episodes

What is Life Itself?
We are pragmatic utopians, committed to practical action for a radically wiser, weller world. We create coliving hubs, start businesses, do research and engage in activism to pioneer a wiser culture. We are ordinary people who choose an extra-ordinary path, treading the middle way between Plum Village and Silicon Valley.
Our Hubs:
Life Itself has three co-living venues: two in Bergerac and one in Berlin. These “hubs” are central to Life Itself’s mission of bringing together value-aligned people to tackle the collective action problems that threaten our future. They exist as a living, breathing representation of Life Itself’s culture, and provide a ready-made community for those eager to make a difference.
About Us:
We are system innovators, transformation designers, sustainable urban developers, community builders, podcasters, and futurists. Most of all, we are human beings committed to building a weller and wiser world for ourselves, our neighborhoods, and our descendants.
We recently had the privilege to host a series of workshops in Authentic Relating, led by trainer and coach Alex Müller. In our interview, I talk to Alex about what authentic relating is, how it can improve our communication, and some easily applicable practices to bring into everyday interactions.
Enjoy the episode!

Episode 4 of the Life Itself Podcast is an exploration into why committed citizens were at the Climate March on September 24 in Berlin.
It's an investigation into the questions:
- Why are we here at the Climate March at all?
- What difference does it make to be here today?
- What's been accomplished at the end of the day when we go home?
- And are these even the right questions to be asking?
Tune in for a compilation of voices, a snippet of Greta Thunberg's rallying speech, and a reframing of these questions.

Episode 3: Can We Change the World Without Changing Ourselves?
This episode features two sustainability heroes who learned something profound about the nature of humanity at the Global Goals Jam Hackathon from September 17th to 19th in Berlin.
Tune in to hear what this was, and also how the structure of hackathons is evolving towards a more collaborative, rather than competitive approach.
This interview is with Systems Innovation Coach Inna Chilik, and the founder of Climate Action Community Lauren Uba.
