In this episode of Biophilic Solutions, we sit down with Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder of Local Futures. Helena has spent decades championing a powerful idea: that restoring both ecological and social health starts with going local.
Imagine a world where your food is grown just down the road, your money stays in your community, local businesses are thriving, and everyone has access to meaningful work. Thatās the vision Helena shares and she believes itās not only possible, itās necessary.
In our conversation, we talk about how our overly globalized economy is at the root of many modern crises and why building resilient, community-based systems can lead to a more hopeful, sustainable future. Helena also shares wisdom from indigenous cultures, the surprising strength of vulnerability, and why reconnecting with nature (and each other) is key to healing.
Itās an inspiring, thought-provoking conversation. We hope youāll tune in: https://apple.co/3svTQtL
