Earth Talk: Humus, Humility, Holism with Charles Eisenstein

A recording of Charles Eisenstein's Earth Talk given in our Joy of Six series on 1 July 2020.

For hundreds of years, modern society has conceived of progress in terms of an increasing ability to exercise control – over nature, over enemies, over bad people, even over ourselves. Despite decades of development, when Covid-19 hit, holistic medicine was ignored. Similarly, holistic agriculture remains marginal despite urgent ecological need for it.

This session will explore the limits of the material and social technologies of control. We will bring in data points that that way of seeing the world excludes. And we will conceive a future in holistic terms and peek at some other modes of “technology” that may be part of it.
