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. That’s the vision Helena shares and she believes it’s not only possible, it’s 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.

It’s an inspiring, thought-provoking conversation. We hope you’ll tune in: https://apple.co/3svTQtL

According to Dr. Phill Tabb, thin places ā€œremind us that the extraordinary exists within and beyond the ordinary.ā€ But what exactly is a thin place – and can we actually design for one?

Biophilia invites us to return to our roots and reimagine our cities, homes, schools, and our lives in harmony with nature. On this Earth Day, we invite you to reflect on the ways you can nurture that connection: plant a seed, walk outside, listen to the birdsong, or simply pause and feel gratitude for this beautiful, resilient planet we call home.

Together, through awareness, design, and care, we can help create a world where both people and nature thrive.
