As we come to the end of Season 4, I feel deep gratitude.

Over the past six months, we’ve shared conversations with inspiring storytellers, policy-makers, scientists, and community builders creating futures that nourish both people and mother Earth.

In uncertain and often overwhelming times, we’ve come together to remember and learn that the worlds we dream of are not only possible, they are already being practiced.

This season has taken us from Quilombola territories in Brazil to the Congo Basin, from South London to Southern Africa. We’ve explored some of the most important issues of our time such as extreme heat resilience, seed sovereignty, clean air, and climate entrepreneurship.

This episode is a highlight reel of our conversations weaved together across three themes:
💌 Our relationship with our own wellbeing
🌍 Our relationship with other living beings
⏳ Our relationship with time.

In a world that often amplifies crisis, these conversations have offered stories of peace, resilience, and regeneration already unfolding.

If there’s anything you can take away from this season is this: we are the ones we have been waiting for. We are our own light.

Thank you for listening and sharing this season!  

We will return with Season 5 later this year.

In the meantime, make sure you stay connected with us on LinkedIn and Instagram, where we will continue to share the amazing collaborations and projects we have coming up this year.

Love 

Marion xx

Mireille travaille dans l'une des régions les plus riches en biodiversité de la planète, un territoire trop souvent réduit à des extrêmes dans les médias. Certaines parties de cette région, notamment son pays d'origine, la République démocratique du Congo, sont façonnées par des actes quotidiens de bienveillance et de résilience, parallèlement à des décennies de conflits et de souffrances.

Cette conversation porte sur le leadership, la tendresse et les efforts quotidiens pour rétablir la paix, que l'on voit rarement dans les gros titres de l’actualité internationale.

Parts of this region, including her place of heritage, the Democratic Republic of Congo, is shaped by decades of conflict and hardship, alongside everyday acts of care, love and resilience.

This is a conversation beyond the news headlines: the voices, leadership, tenderness, and everyday peace-making that rarely make it into global narratives.

🌍 What African women’s leadership looks like in the Congo Basin
🌱  Why rest and wellbeing are essential leadership practices

In Season 3, we are meeting visionary black women who are creating innovations inspired by nature.

In last week's episode, we met Bryony Ella. Bryony is an inspiring artist-researcher who creates immersive and engaging public artworks that help us reimagine our relationship with nature.

This episode is taken from her project, The Colour of Transformation.  The Colour of Transformation is a documentary and artist film that celebrates the pioneering work of women of the global majority working in the UK nature sector.

The musical score you are listening to in this episode is created in response to those interviews, in which the women share their unique and personal journeys of transformation, as they each carve out their own space within the sector, learning how to nourish themselves and their communities for the benefit not only of the human world, but also the more-than-human world.
