How life-affirming are the metrics we track and the values we base on? Are they respectful of the energy of life, nature, creativity, cooperation, coexistence?

In this session, we go on a hop-on hop-off tour of the works of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Darcia Narvaez and Dr. Riane Eisler, travelling over social and cultural terrains of economics, ecologies, trauma, childhood, health, justice and peace.

The talk is put together in a journalistic style – making connections between ideas and presenting a story.

It’s about knowing the first principles that underlie our knowing-feeling of what “life” is and seeing what we can imagine for ourselves going ahead. A live poll/survey is planned as an interactive element within the talk.
