"Having a spirit of collaboration and cooperation…is the antithesis of what our current economy. So our current economy is about competition….whereas principles embedded in nature around reciprocity, mutual aid and cooperation.. are so important for a new way."

In this episode we speak with Dr Dimity Podger, a national identity in Regeneration. In our conversation we explore systems change through a regenerative lens. Dimity brings a focus on developing an understanding of living systems so that we can design for mutual value creation for people, planet and communities. We explore what this is, where it gets stuck and how it gets unstuck.

Natter and Gnaw is a Clarion Call podcast for people working together for change that benefits people, place and planet.

Join special guests Bryn Davies (Democracy 4 Dinner) and Polly Cameron (New Democracy and Change Politics) as they explore the concept of Democracy, what shifts we need to make in our thinking and actions to strengthen democracy in our lives and across systems. They also delve into how do we build our efforts from small to collective action.

In this episode, Polly and Bryn investigate topics such as how to think of democracy in terms of who makes what decisions, processes for bringing people together to make complex decisions and stepping away duality such as the two party preferred political system. They also share gems for working together differently such as approaching complexity with an open hand not a closed fist.

Join special guests Dr Anitra Nelson author of Beyond Money and many other publications and Meaghan Burkett (Ethical Fields) as they discuss The New Economy- , what shifts we need to make in our thinking and actions to build regenerative equitable economic systems. Both guests highlight the need to live within boundaries defined by the ecological capacity of the planet and the needs of humans and other living beings by strengthening ‘place’ and people at the local level as well and building a boarder environment that supports increased democratisation and ownership at the local level. They differ in how this can be achieved while covering topics such as degrowth, using ‘real value’ not money and control of land and capital.

In this episode, Bruce and David traverse topics such as depowering our ego to harness everyone’s contributions, expertise and experience, and letting go of the notion of a single solution to tackle complex challenges. They also share gems for working together differently such as deliberately looking for the verb in every exchange.
