Episode Synopsis

In today's episode, we transport ourselves to the year 2084 in a small town where Jakob, an old librarian, preserves the wisdom of the past in his hand-bound books. As a storm knocks out the town's power, his library becomes a sanctuary, and the younger generation begins to understand the importance of preserving knowledge beyond digital technology. We'll discuss how "Retronify" reflects this balance between past and present, emphasizing sustainability, mindful living, and the preservation of history. We'll also explore studies on nature's healing effects, from Stanford and Exeter University, highlighting the mental health benefits of reconnecting with nature. Lastly, we feature "The Cook," a short film gaining recognition at multiple international festivals🌿. This is a public episode.
