Sense-Making in a Changing World Collective Imagination with Rob Hopkins and Morag Gamble
In this episode I am delighted to be sharing with you a conversation with Rob Hopkins, champion of the collective imagination, author of 'From What is to What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want' and co-founder of the Transition Town Movement that emerged out of an extended permaculture design course he was teaching in Ireland.
His other books include:
The Power of Just Doing Stuff: How Local Action can Change the World (2013)
The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience (2008)
The Transition Companion: Making Your Community More Resilient in Uncertain Times (2013)
I caught up with Rob in his home town of Totnes last year - nearby to Schumacher College where he is a regular contributor. We recorded this interview in the Transition Town Totnes office. He is one of the most ethical and interesting thinkers I know with a grounding in permaculture too. It's no wonder he was voted one of the Independent's top 100 environmentalists and the Observer's list of Britains 50 New Radicals.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Rob, check out his podcast too, From What is to What If and follow him on Twitter.

I am a possibilitarian and I believe in HumanKINDness.
In this podcast my guests and I explore How are we to live? Really live, as nature ourselves, tending the conditions where life can thrive. We ask How do we become the kind of humans this moment is asking us to be?
This podcast is one of my acts of myceliation. Each conversation is a thread in a vast network of people speaking up for life with love and care.
This podcast beams out from my hand-built solar-powered studio in the midst of a permaculture food forest in a permaculture ecovillage on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country.
If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
