How do we become a life enhancing species?How do we remember in our bones our earth lineage?Osprey asks us to consider 'How are we each ‘efforting’ towards a different way of being? If you said Together...SNAP. While acknowledging that we're each complicit in living & swimming in an extractive economy & extractive world - its about the way we navigate it.  In dismantling old oppressive systems that harm life instead of nurture it, we first need to acknowledge our diluted collective understanding that we're living relative and connected to the web of life and that we are not separate or orphaned from it. That being on the land, in our body and away from intellectual focus provides the more dominant societies to become humbled and more engaged with our hearts and minds. When operating in this way, we change our story and ultimately change our way of being in a world that is gasping for us to interact differently.As a female leader, she beats to a different drum but we all might learn a thing or two from her approach.Conversation ReferencesWECANThe story is in our bones - Osprey Oriel LakeSupport the ShowCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow mattersWe talked aboutHer role as founder of the Women's Earth & Climate Action Network WECANLeading an organisation with heart led decision making - feminine leadership differs to mainstream narrativeDivesting away from destructive projects is a powerful actThe power of storytelling in creating changeHeart to heart human connection has resulted in banks divesting millions of dollarsBringing our whole selves to show up and talk to people we don't agree with, share stories & work on moving hearts and mindsTalking to people in positions of wealth and influence to enact changeWe need an ecosystem with projects and campaigns at all tiers - the challenge is when we don't work together Knitting ecosystems together- Collective power comes from together-nessOrganisations who have money need to be bridgebuilders for those who don'tMentorship from indigenous leaders woven throughout her life experiencesIts time to compost the modern day ideologies and create new soils….its is going to stop as nature will make us stopWe need to connect with the earth and each other to reconfirm our identities in relationship with the landBuilding our communityWe can't rely on soundbites to make a decisionWhy she doesn't travel for vacations - only for workHow are we utilising our privilege to lift up others, and make choicesBeing willing to be in uncomfortable situations and then being quiet enough to listen to others especially not white wealthy people so we can keep creating more equity and balanceWe are in a time where we are unpacking racism patriarchy and colonisation - observations Sidestepping divisionHow worldviews and climate justice can reframe our climate crisisWe are dealing with crises about identify and trauma which leads to violence, division and an inability to look inwards How do you live in a system which you are trying to transformHer one word - RELATIVES with each other, the air, water, trees, we are all in relationship.Support the show
