In this episode, we talk about seeking systems change and how Gijs makes this happen. We discuss the need for spiritual and cultural transformation rather than focusing on one symptom of a broken system, namely climate change. We discuss the interconnectivity of everything and how one can weave a web of meaningful initiatives. You will learn how Gijs prioritises his projects and what it means to live in Auroville, India. We talk about gratitude and making an impact on the micro and on the macro level. You will hear what Gijs would like more people to understand, acknowledge and act upon. Finally, we talk about travelling overland from Asia to Europe and back and what you can learn along the journey.

Make sure to let me know your thoughts and join the conversation.
