Gaya is a brilliant nutritionist from Israel. She gets anxious about engaging with the climate crisis and avoids the negative energies altogether. This episode starts with exploring the difficulties and ends up with tears of excitement for finding her special way to make a difference.
Tami Tzuri had transformed her normal capitalistic lifestyle and formed a unique alternative. In 2006 she formed CityTree - a living knowledge centre for deep ecology and climate resistance, in the heart of Tel Aviv, a city made mostly out of concrete. Tami challenges the individualist culture and capitalist system and offers a framework for living a meaningful and sustainable life.
I love Tami. I've known her for over 15 years. She has always been willing to challenge every story, every belief and turn every stone. She lives the dream, not the American dream or the Israeli dream, but her own dream - her own truth and her values.
