What is your Earth Archetype?  Take the Quiz!https://quiz.eartharchetypes.com/The root word “eco” is Greek for home.  So ecology is really the study of home, and economics is the management of home.  For Network Type AJ Schlenger, these two aspects came together as he studied ocean systems.  Why?  Because the current greatest impact on natural systems is how humans assign value – which is mostly through money.  So AJ now focuses on supporting startups to create value with nature-based solutions and navigating out of date regulations that can get in the way.  Yet, the conversation quickly reveals that underneath the power of the dollar lies something even more valuable:  relationships.  Listen in for how AJ advocates for a truly Networked style of communication.  Adam Schlenger (PhD) has a multidisciplinary background in oceanography, systems science, and natural resource management, aimed at understanding the complex interactions between human and natural systems to tackle global environmental issues and facilitate fast scaling solutions.

What is your Earth Archetype?  Take the Quiz!In this conversation, Amber connects with elder, song carrier, and grief tender Laurence Cole.  Like a fine 80 year old wine, his complexity extends beyond any one Earth Archetype.  In Laurence’s own words, “I have had one abiding thread of interest throughout my life; that is, when, where and how have human beings lived in a respectful, sacred, equitable relationship with each other and the rest of nature, and what arts and practices enabled them to do so and transmit such attitudes and behaviors to the coming generations.”With an almost ASMR quality, listen in for both the importance and the technologies of belonging and connection. (Hint: this does not have anything to do with social media).  In fact, all 4 technologies can be done with just the human body.  As you’ll soon hear, tapping into ancestral wisdom definitely helps too.  Then delve into the power of rituals, the role of witnessing in creating a sense of community, and reciprocal relationship.  You are even welcome to join Laurence in song throughout the episode as we build a container to hold each other well. ______If you like this episode, listen to how the Earth Archetypes came to be.
