À propos de ce contenu audio

Lifeworlds is an intimate dialogue with our planet’s ecologies and with those who are translators and bridges between the human and beyond-human.


Our guests are farmers, lawyers, scientists, investors, indigenous scholars, artists, and many more — with them, we explore the mindsets, skills and actions required to forge deep connections with nature and to enter into close relationship with the lifeworlds of other beings.


We begin to change the world when we change our ways of seeing and being. Lifeworlds points us towards a deeper reformulation of core human identities, asking who it is we share the Earth with and what our human role may be at this pivotal moment in time. It is through the doorway of inhabiting and understanding multiple perspectives that we can begin to heal a culture and psyche that is steeped in duality. We have lost our place as humans amongst all life. This is our call for healing, engagement and wonder.

  • Sensoria | Desire Mandalas

    Sensoria | Desire Mandalas
    Nov 12 2026

    I read from a collection of my short essays and evocative stories, published this year in the delightful volume Sensoria by Humans & Nature Press. Rich in description and transportive imagery, I’ll bring you on a journey deep into the lush forests of Northern California, where your senses will flip and knowing suspended; the trekking foottrails of the high Himalayas on a pilgrimage around the sacred mountain Manaslu; asking what it means to live in a topography of prayer, the body as a doorway to deep participation, traces of longing, psyche and Eros, and what the significance of this may be in how we approach the potential of these times. A friend playfully called these “phenomenological field notes tackling human cognition, imagination and culture”. Sit back and enjoy.

  • Soulfire Sessions III: Many Minds – with Kensy Cooperrider

    Soulfire Sessions III: Many Minds – with Kensy Cooperrider
    Aug 17 2026
    Consciousness is one of the great running threads beneath every episode of this show: a loaded term, tangled up with questions of sentience and intelligence, and carrying the most direct ethical implications for how we live on Earth.This week I'm joined by Kensy Cooperrider, cognitive scientist and host of Many Minds podcast, circling the questions of what mind, intelligence, and experience might be beyond the human. Kensy has had hundreds of conversations with scientists working at the edges of what we know about minds, and also the most creative, concrete apertures into other lifeworlds: names, goosebumps, dreams, fire, taboos, medicine. We also discuss whether, if we're willing to stretch words like sentience across the animal kingdom, what happens when we begin to explore AI - the mineral, the silica, the metallic? Unanswerable questions, maybe, but what fun to explore.Links:Episode website linkMany Minds podcastKensy’s personal websiteMany Minds with Michael LevinBook: Robert Bringhurst Tree of MeaningMany Minds: Mutualisms all the Way DownDiverse Intelligences Summer InstituteLook out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.Music: Electric Ethnicity by Igor Dvorkin, Duncan Pittock & Ellie Kidd Hosted on Acast.

  • 38. Mother Trees And Forest Resilience - with Suzanne Simard

    38. Mother Trees And Forest Resilience - with Suzanne Simard
    Aug 3 2026

    This episode is a live interview with Dr. Suzanne Simard at the MOTH Festival of Ideas in London. Suzanne is the forest ecologist whose researched popularised notions of the Wood Wide Web and the Mother Trees, and revealed the living networks that wire a forest together to share carbon, water and resources. We talk about the courage it took to call a tree "mother," the grizzly encounters and burned-down research plots behind the tidy data, and the findings from her Mother Tree Project and luminous new book, When the Forest Breathes - chief among them, that a forest, given half a chance and a few elders left standing, knows exactly how to breathe its way back to life.
