We have the knowledge that we need to change our worldview, and yet we don't change. What's the missing piece?
âIt may seem simplistic to say, âWell, what we need is a different story.â But what is it that has changed and guided us through history? It's stories. I can say, âI am going to live as if the world is a gift for which I need to be grateful, for which I need to reciprocate, for whom I am accountable.â
And if I change my mind, I can align my behaviors with that story.â â Robin Wall Kimmerer
As we AskNature for guidance through today's climate uncertainty, Robin Wall Kimmerer joins us to explore cultural biomimicry and the braiding of western science with traditional ecological knowledge.

What is the design intent of our lives?
Janine Benyus and Christiana Figueres open the series in conversation about biomimicry, belonging, and what it actually means to live in relationship with the rest of the natural world.
"What is the design intent of our actions, of our words, of our thoughts? If we can be much more mindful about that, much more thoughtful and frankly much more loving in how we operate, we would have a different world." â Christiana Figueres
"That personal relationship with the rest of the natural world can be cultivated. We are not too far gone from it at all." â Janine Benyus
Systems change, it turns out, starts personally. This episode will shift how you think about the relationship between nature, design, and the choices you make every day.
As we AskNature for guidance through todayâs climate and social crises, Janine Benyus and Christiana Figueres remind us that we also need to have the humility to listen.
