Winter has come – and for some people it’s colder and more expensive than the recent past. This week Nate reconnects with Nora Bateson to discuss how she and others living in Sweden are responding to the phenomenal spike in their electricity costs, which are currently 35-40x higher than this time last year.  What steps are people taking in their own homes to stay warm and reduce energy use, and what tools and support is the government providing its citizens?  Is there any single event or person to blame for the drastic increase in energy costs or is the root cause broad and deep within the systems we have created?   What can we learn from this dress rehearsal as we anticipate and prepare for The Great Simplification?

We can’t have hundreds and hundreds of real relationships that are healthy because that requires time and effort and full attention and awareness of being in real relationship and conversation with the other human. Nate Hagens Director of ISEOF

This is the crux of the whole problem. Individual parts of nature are more valuable than the biocomplexity of nature. Thomas Crowther Founder Restor
