Dancing with Change
Dancing with change is a podcast that seeks to understand how we can create systemic change in society, on one hand exploring the current dominant system we are in and the ways in which we can accelerate its decline, and on the other hand exploring visions of the future and how we can find our role in bringing into being. We can't control systems, but we can try to understand them and do our best to influence them.
