#22 – Collective Trauma Healing with Kosha Anja Joubert

We will have the pleasure to listen to our guest talk about:

  • Her biography: how growing up in South Africa and living during the Apartheid as a child and as a youngster contributed to the defining turning points in her life.
  • Collective trauma begins when a cataclysmic event happens and shatters the current perception of reality. It stays as a collective memory until it’s solved or buried deep down in our hearts. So, what is collective trauma in the first place and how can we recognize and accept it?
  • What made Kosha Joubert become aware that collective trauma is such a core topic? Examples of collective trauma and where it prevents us from really creating the change we want to see.
  • Core learnings from building the Global Ecovillage Network into a worldwide movement reaching out to over 6000 communities on all continents to guide them to a regenerative world.
  • Why is healing collective and intergenerational trauma of such core significance for us as humanity at this collective inflection point?
  • Please sketch the Pocket Project:
    • Where is it standing?
    • What are its contours, and processes?
    • Where do you see it going?
    • What would need to happen for the learnings to “infect” other parts of society?
  • We can imagine thousands of apocalyptic scenarios for the future, but we let that go for a second and we will attempt to imagine what can happen in the future if we follow a better path than now.

#9 Real Estate as a Driver of Change with Frank Sippel.

The title seems almost a contradiction as we see the housing and affordability crisis mainly driven by extractive real estate business models in many metropolitan areas around the globe.
But this is not carved in stone. We can truly sense into the soul of a property and feel into what that space within its given surrounding really wants to serve for. And create the circumstances that enable a broad variety of stakeholders to cocreate a place full of abundance including the arts and take sustainability really to the next level.

#8 Facilitating large scale cultural change with Pamela von Sabljar, Jeff Genung and Mila Aliana.

How can we facilitate the many chrysalis cells for the emerging, regenerative paradigm that are so far often not connected, when already aligning groups is quite challenging? We truly need groups of groups that share a common North Star, all while they still pursue their own goals, obviously. This is an undertaking that has never been done before on a global scale. But we know leaps in history are possible, from the abolition of slavery, the women’s liberations movement, the end of Apartheid, the fall of the Berlin wall.

#7 The Politics of Waking Up with Indra Adnan.

What could be a new way to imagine politics?
In this episode we are diving deep into the weeds of Citizen Action Networks (CAN). We reflect how much of the inner worlds we all inhabit, from the trauma we hold, to the memetic center of gravities that steer our perception of reality, to the culture we need to nourish, for a “Politics of Waking Up”.

In this week’s session we are going to focus on very hands-on examples that redefine impact investing, to ensure that the human factor and wellbeing is counted in, as well as sense into intergenerational investment and new ways to create impact through multi-stakeholder relationships, breaking up the barrier between classical philanthropy and impact investing.
