Show notes

Hey Black Earth fam,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 🌍 Subscribe to Black Earth wherever you get your favourite podcasts, and leave us a review! 💌 Connect with Black Earth team for funding partnerships, collaborations and media opportunities: https://www.blackearthpodcast.com/contactus  📲  Connect with us on Instagram & LinkedIn  @blackearthpodcast.
