In this episode, Samantha and Gwyneth discuss the importance of understanding exactly why we are doing something and how ego death and dismantling is a key part of her work. We also discuss how the Global South was formed, the harmful narratives that people in the Global South still believe about themselves, and the powerful work that Samantha is involved in - creating dialogues between people in the Global South. We also talk about heritage, connecting to your ancestry (and how hard this can be for some of us), regeneration (inner and outer), reparations and how those in the Global North can really help those in the Global South.
The Story Anew is a podcast and video series in which we'll meet amazing people from all over the world who are working to redefine the dominant narrative of our times - that of infinite growth and consumption. These are the people working towards what Joanna Macy calls The Great Turning - the shifting of our Industrial Growth Society, which prioritises infinite growth over life - to a Life Sustaining Society.
The people you'll meet are working in regeneration, activism, systems design, permaculture, trauma healing, decolonisation, climate change and generally working to fundamentally change the way we do things as a species so that we can live on this planet more harmoniously with our fellow beings and become good ancestors.
