Catalyzing Radical Systemic Change - voted the No. 1 podcast on Systemic Change on Apple podcasts

Ending with “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.” - Edward O. Wilson “Let’s bend reality together.” - Pamela von Sabljar “Only love will save our life. Only love will redeem our world.”

What emergent properties are likely to occur on a macro level that we cannot foresee on a micro to meso level - talking about the moonshot of how to better facilitate towards the birthing of a planetary civilization ahead and obviously COP & WEF clearly showing that they can’t solve the multiple gridlock effects. How can we foster the emergence of a healthy counter weight of the emerging, rege...

In this second edition on “Facilitating large scale cultural change” with Pamela von Sabljar, facilitator from the evolutionary edge, Jeff Genung, Managing Director of Prosocial World and Mila Aliana, catalyst of change, alchemist, and guardian of life, we investigate what are patterns we can distil and templatize to scale the joint efforts we all share to create the world we all know in our heart...

“It always seems impossible until it's done.” Nelson Mandela How can we facilitate the many chrysalis cells for the emerging, regenerative paradigm that are so far often not connected, when already aligning groups is quite challenging? We truly need groups of groups that share a common North Star, all while they still pursue their own goals, obviously. This is an undertaking that has never been do...

“The Politics of Politics is Politics.” I just came up with that quote preparing for this episode, obviously riffing off the notorious quote “The business of business is business.”, from Milton Fridman, the godfather of our current neoliberal economic paradigm gone haywire. The question then is rather, does it need to be what it is today? The current model of institutionalized representative parli...

In this episode we are diving deep into the weeds of Citizen Action Networks (CAN). We reflect how much of the inner worlds we all inhabit, from the trauma we hold, to the memetic center of gravities that steer our perception of reality, to the culture we need to nourish, for a “Politics of Waking Up”. How can we create a CAN of CANs? How can we harness soft power vs. hard power in the digital age...

The current model of institutionalized representative parliamentary democracy is broken. Voting cycles prevent politicians from truly thinking and acting for the long term. Party politics aggravate the many existing divides in our societies. There has been a class emerging of professional politicians which all too often do not represent the electorate. And political parties as institutions themsel...

We live in times where it is obvious that the current economic paradigm cannot uphold much longer. In this week’s session we are going to focus on very hands-on examples that redefine impact investing, to ensure that the human factor and wellbeing is counted in, as well as sense into intergenerational investment and new ways to create impact through multi-stakeholder relationships, breaking up the...

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Much like Abraham Lincolm’s quote indicates, we are in crucial times to make sure we build frameworks, templates and applications to reframe the way capital is allocated for a regenerative future for the many generations after us.

Dive deeper into exploring new ways to create impact through multi-stakeholder relationships, breaking up the barrier between classical philanthropy and impact investing.

Let's focus on very hands-on examples that redefine impact investing, to ensure that the human factor and wellbeing is counted in, as well as sense into intergenerational investment.

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." Lin Chi We need to kill the buddha to embrace a 21st century understanding of ages old wisdom. This means to unpack meditation as a panacea for everything, to nuance where its timeless gem shines bright, and where it is at best complemented by other techniques for personal development. The original quote in a nutshell means that “Buddha-nature” can n...

Instead of “Spiritual Bypassing” (a term coined by Robert Augustus Masters, with the same title as a book), avoiding seemingly “negative” emotions, what does a healthy integration of peak experiences and difficult emotions mean? We finish our conversation noting that maybe best meditation can be understood as a interwoven sequence of waking up (to the original nature of the mind), growing up (in t...

There is meditation for burn-out prevention, to alleviate stress, to make managers more successful, for better sleeping. It is sold as a panacea for roundabout everything. What are the stages one passses through in the journey of being a meditator? How can we define progress?

We are living in a world where meditation has become a commodity and the spiritual market is booming. Let's explore what are psycho-spiritual practices that complement those aspects of personal development that meditation can’t serve?

“Buddha-nature” can never be out there. It’s always ever present in all and everything. So, if you see the Buddha out there, kill him. Hence, what is the relationship between meditation and the shadow of the psyche most of us carry with us? What could be a North Star - from the broad range of techniques - that could serve beginners to find and deepen their meditative practice?

“Radical Self Coaching in Trauma” Are we collectively traumatized? Isn’t it that almost all of us hold in our lineage victims and perpetrators of war and genocide? Science tells us that trauma is epigenetically inherited for at least three generations. And beyond intense trauma, many of us have experienced - being conscious of it or not - very difficult and demanding episodes in our lives. What’s...

Instead of “Spiritual Materialism”, where people usurp peak experiences to grow their ego, what can Radical Self Coaching do, to prevent that? And finally, as you are offering therapy and coaching, what is the relationship between them? Where does coaching end and therapy begin and vice versa?

Bridgee Melling and Marius Rothe offer therapy and coaching with a focus on trauma, LGBTQ+, non-traditional relationship models, sexuality (including kink), psychedelic integration and life coaching. What could be a healthy interface to let our hearts open and vulnerable yet not get suffocated by the sheer immensity of the challenges we face?

What could be a healthy interface to let our hearts open and vulnerable yet not get suffocated by the sheer immensity of the challenges we face?

Beyond intense trauma, many of us have experienced - being conscious of it or not - very difficult and demanding episodes in our lives. What are the coping mechanisms many of us (ab)use to flee from the constant terror of our collective armageddon lurking around the corner?
