Sen Zhan
What is Life Itself? We are pragmatic utopians, committed to practical action for a radically wiser, weller world. We create coliving hubs, start businesses, do research and engage in activism to pioneer a wiser culture. We are ordinary people who choose an extra-ordinary path, treading the middle way between Plum Village and Silicon Valley.Our Hubs:Life Itself has three co-living venues: two in Bergerac and one in Berlin. These “hubs” are central to Life Itself’s mission of bringing together value-aligned people to tackle the collective action problems that threaten our future. They exist as a living, breathing representation of Life Itself’s culture, and provide a ready-made community for those eager to make a difference.About Us:We are system innovators, transformation designers, sustainable urban developers, community builders, podcasters, and futurists. Most of all, we are human beings committed to building a weller and wiser world for ourselves, our neighborhoods, and our descendants.
How Do We Relate Authentically?

In our interview, I talk to Alex about what authentic relating is, how it can improve our communication, and some easily applicable practices to bring into everyday interactions.

Ep 4 - Climate March Berlin 2021 - Am I Asking the Right Questions?
Episode 4 of the Life Itself Podcast is an exploration into why committed citizens were at the Climate March on September 24 in Berlin. It's an investigation into the questions: - Why are we here at the Climate March at all? - What difference does it make to be here today? - What's been accomplished at the end of the day when we go home? - And are these even the right questions to be asking? Tune in for a compilation of voices, a snippet of Greta Thunberg's rallying speech, and a reframing of these questions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lifeitselfhubcast/message
