Sense-Making in a Changing World Community and Ecology with Helena Norberg-Hodge and Morag Gamble - World Localization Day Series Part 3 of 4
In episode three of our four-part conversation for World Localisation Day, Morag Gamble talks with Helena Norberg-Hodge about the central role of community and ecology in our world. And, how localising both of these things can improve the health of people and the planet.
Helena is a filmmaker, author and founder and director of the international non-profit organisation, Local Futures. Helena and I first met in 1992, working on the Ladakh Project over the other side of the Himalayas in the Indus Valley. This time we spent together (and since) as well as her film, Ancient Futures, led Evan and me to work in Permaculture. Thirty years later, I’m still inspired and motivated by Helena’s wisdom and mission.
In this episode, Morag and Helena discuss:
- How healthy communities nurture healthy happy children;
- The pitfalls of modern education systems and consumer cultures that pit children (and adults) against each other;
- The role of elders in communities;
- How indigenous knowledge and rural living has been systematically depreciated;
- The relationship between nature, animals and human happiness;
- How we can reconnect with place, even when we live away from our ancestral lands;
- What individualism looks like in modern cities and how we can break away from unhealthy lifestyles.

I am a possibilitarian and I believe 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 Gubbi Gubbi country.
If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
