Episode 57 - Phoebe Tickell - Imagination Activist

Phoebe Tickell is a Biologist and Systems thinker who develops methodologies and approaches suited to a better world. With a degree in Biological Natural Sciences she brings her understanding of biological networks and systems thinking into governance, organisational structures, narratives and imagination. From co-founding multiple organisations, designing and implementing learning programmes to facilitating groups across the world, Phoebe has been called a voice of the emerging future and one of the most important systems thinkers of her generation. Recorded in the Devonian woods around a campfire, Dan and Phoebe discuss: - Reflection, peace and slowness in a time when there’s lots to do - The rejection of indigenous wisdom/science unless ‘discovered’ by western science - Systems change; yet aren’t we the system? - In times of grief, what would a sane culture do? - Evolving from a self-exterminating society to a self-sustaining society - Caring for young imaginations in an era of technological entertainment - Moral Imagination. Imagination activists. And imaginal zones - Subsidising slowness, not speed and rewiring our economy - Power of the ‘sit spot’, make believe, masks and role play - Relationships and value between the human and more-than-human world - Everything is not in the government's hands. We can be empowered to create our own reality - Designing systems with wisdom. Bring it on!
