Restoring our relationship with Earth through regenerative systems change with Ryan (Ra) James
Show notes
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.
