She\u2019s currently hosting a series of conversations exploring what work could look, feel like, and give rise to, if our efforts were dedicated to collective thriving and evolution.\xa0\n\xa0\nDuring these times with Karryn and her guests, we\u2019ll hear them explore visions of what the world could look like if we dedicated more of the hours of our day towards work in service to life. And what it could mean\u2014to us, our communities, and the world\u2014if we earned our living through this work. \xa0Join the Podcast Patreon CommunityFind the guest for this episode, Carmen Leilani DeJesus at museyouneedmost.me and on Instagram @consentisapractice. \xa0\xa0You can find our host for this episode, Karryn Olson, at Regenepreneurs.com and additional resources from her session with Carmen at Regenepreneurs.com/dejesus. \xa0I'm collaborating with Karryn to share more conversations from this series with you in the future on The Permaculture Podcast. If you\u2019d like to see what\u2019s coming up from Karryn and her guests, including joining in on an upcoming live session via this link: \xa0\xa0Cultivating Livelihoods In Service to Life: A Conversation SeriesKarryn's next session is on Wednesday, October 6th, at 8 pm Eastern with the folks from the Meaningful Work Project. \xa0In hearing what Karryn was working on, I wanted to share these conversations with you on The Permaculture Podcast, because the specific interviews and themes of the overall series speak to the growing dissonance I\u2019ve experienced myself and heard from listeners between trying to make our way through the world while staying true to your values and the ethics of permaculture, while trading one\u2019s work energy for dollars that are earned through practices that seem extractive, meaningless, or, in the words and title of the book by the late David Graber, like a bullshit job. And as if that weren\u2019t enough, we\u2019re navigating all this while feeling, in our bones and in our souls, the impacts of growing climate disruption, increasing wealth inequality, continual social injustice, ongoing pandemic chaos, and the myriad of other social and environmental ills all around us. \xa0\xa0To help us with this, Karryn is speaking with numerous guests across a variety of disciplines to explore topics that move our individual mindset and shift our cultural paradigms. \xa0Some of those include: \xa0Right livelihoods.Collective liberation.Regenerative entrepreneurship.Social innovation.Decolonizing our concepts of "work.\u201dAnd the importance of embracing pleasure and grief. \xa0Listened to individually or taken together, it is Karryn and I\u2019s desire to revitalize you and your work as we, all of us, stand together and cross the thresholds of our time. \xa0\xa0Until we meet again, spend your days ranting about your needs and wants, meditating on whether you are saying yes willingly or out of a sense of obligation, and considering what work feels like in your body, while taking care of Earth, your self, and each other.
