Collective action can lead to real, tangible victories, like halting an offshore oil project proposed by Big Oil, reminding us that collectives of people have the power to challenge destructive and powerful forces. Instead of individualistic, lonely, consumerism-heavy environmentalism of the past, the collective climate justice movement encourages us to turn towards each other.

This conversation provides wise reflections on successful movement building and sustaining, and shows how recent wins have been accomplished by collective-minded organizing that is required for these dark times.

Why do we grow in our gardens? Are we searching for closeness to the mystery and magic of the natural world, or working to feed ourselves? Do we grow to create habitat for pollinators or enrich precious soil? Do we grow to foster community, or to grasp control in a scary world? Do we grow because we love beauty?

Wise and curious guest Alice Vincent delves into her new book, Why Women Grow: Stories of Soil, Sisterhood and Survival. Alice is a writer, broadcaster, career-journalist, and multi-platform storyteller, and her book Rootbound: Rewilding a Life was longlisted for the Wainwright Prize.

This beautiful and rich conversation roots into our relationships with nature and gardening in cities. We discuss perfectionism, being drawn to the soil, and motherhood. We refurl stories of women in their gardens, and pay homage to the gardens who raised us.

In these dark winter days at the beginning of a new unknown year, this reflective episode invites us to be quietly awake: to our true selves, our relationships, our responsibilities. How can we be awake to beauty as well as the darkness of the world? How can we be awake to the brokenhearted but resilient and courageous millions who refuse to abandon a planet that needs our care?

How do we shift culture? How do we rebuild trust in each other, and the capacity to imagine and express? How do we shape stories that energize them to fight, love, or care? This conversation explores storytelling and the role of media in reconnecting with the Earth.

Fossil fuel narratives seep into our culture, media, politics, and minds, and it can be hard to extricate them from our lives. Fortunately, we can create our own hopeful narratives of possible climate futures that run like fast-moving rivers from person to person.

Grace Nosek is a climate justice scholar, community organizer, and storyteller. Grace has spent years studying and deconstructing the narratives and tactics of the fossil fuel industry - as well as creating her own hopeful climate narratives.

We can find the veins and rivulets of care that already exist in the growing climate movement, and together rewrite the future.

Art has often been disregarded in climate and justice conversations, but creativity is essential for the revolution towards a regenerative and caring reality. Our environmental disillusionment can be a slow erosion of imagination, day by weary day, and artists have a powerful role to play: making space to feel grief, sparking imagination, knitting people together in solidarity and shared experience, and rekindling a belief in what is possible. Guest Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer is an artist and illustrator who is creating a more just and caring world, with art as a powerful medium to communicate climate messages and build community.
