Regenerating Hearts and Minds | The Basis of Regenerative Agriculture with Charles Eisenstein

Charles Eisenstein is a speaker, teacher, and author. A graduate of Yale University with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, his work covers various topics, including human civilization, economics, spirituality, and ecology. His published works include “The Coronation,” “The Ascent of Humanity,” “Sacred Economics,” “The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible,” and “Climate-A New Story.” In the last-mentioned title, he argues that reducing environmental discourse into the single issue of global warming is a huge mistake for the environmental movement. The book focuses instead on the “Living Planet” view, envisioning what our relationship to nature might be if we saw that everything is alive, conscious, and sacred. Overall, his primary interest is exploring the boundaries of what is possible according to our received beliefs, habits, technologies, and ways of knowing.
In this conversation, John and Charles discuss:
What defines regeneration
What we need to do to embrace regenerative landscapes
Why the quality of our life depends on the quality of our relationships
Indigenous knowledge of landscape management
The understanding of what real wealth is
The differences between control and responsibility
The Importance of exercising our capacity to create
The growing community and movement of regenerative farmers

Ek het 7 jaar self my natuur ondersoek gedoen as n boer en dit was die resultaat ook.

[@marynunn1708]

Only a few minutes in and the statement that immediately resonated with me: “Poverty of Being”. Wow. How true!

[@RickLarsonPermacultureDesigner]

Peasants were people who not only could take care of themselves, but also were mostly forced to take care of the so-called upper classes, these uppers who were merely dependent on the peasants, which made them weak. Check out the free tenant peasants of France, they were something special.

Excellent video - Thanks!

[@davehansen4208]

So on point! From a very young age I’ve longed a sense of community and feel this disconnect deep in my bones.

[@paulbray3594]

Best sermon I've heard in a long time. Lots of basic truth and insights of long missed connections, so plainly explained. Thank you both for your work and study.

Oh, it's something else from you John. It was something so spiritual rather than religious. I wonder if you could do this kind of conversation with Sadhguru.

[@anthonycopacetic5016]

Already listened twice.

[@mauricecalliss1303]

I had a deep hard to talk about experience regarding the earth itself 4/5 yrs ago. Its very parsonal and speaking of it wouldnt really do it justice so i dont speak of it .the earth is a living is ALIVE awareness.

3:33 My mom put out a 30-gallon 'bag', 6-inches of soil in it, planted a sprouting sweet-potato, and, because she didn't want dears or bears to "steal it", she put a net over the top. The plant grew quickly and was bright green until a single leaf touched the net, then it started to wither and now I think it's dead. In her effort to control, she killed. Sounds par for the course with her. And for most of our species.

Golden rule concepts unfortunately is lost on the majority of people .

[@jeremyschissler337]

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Man is controled /influenced or taught by invisible forces just as nature is .or should I say man is part of a invisible force .that force is predatory but it teaches us also. Ithetes alot to be said to live in ignorance because to look further is too scaru.

Jesus Christ is Lord and King, he is God in flesh. He is our creator, we must turn to him
