"I believe that the work of artists right now on this planet is to re-enchant the world, to provide a place to dream again, even if it seems futile." It has been an incredible experience to premier our film "The wisdom of wonder, Eugénia Balcells once and again" in such a wonderful?International Festival of Art Documentaries (dart). Sharing the intensely intellectual light of Eugénia Balcells through the intimate gaze of Director Felipe Ruiz among so many respected colleagues, friends and family has been an honor. This marks the beginning of a new chapter to share what it is that we have been cooking for years.... hoping to nourish deeply what we have come to know as the 'wisdom of wonder' in each of us. A selection of the films from the festival are available for a limited time at Filmin streaming platform #Dart2024 www.TheWisdomOfWonder.com

The election results from the United States are devastating ... on many levels. Despite this, we vow to continue to shine a light on what is working. We remain deeply committed to recognizing the many, many, many solutions that dare to look directly in the face of global challenges and create beautiful solutions. Evidence of Hope is a way for us to believe in ourselves, in what is possible and to nourish ourselves by seeing all that exists in each moment.... and to continue along on our path to a fair and sustainable future for all.

I find it extremely important to consider the concept of innovation beyond technology, recognizing seeds for forward thinking from the intelligence and knowledge of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. It was a pleasure to produce content during the IUCN Leaders Forum and observe how coming together in these space creates opportunities to untangle challenges and move forward with solutions. I love that part of my job is to interview people I admire. So thank you Grethel Aguilar, Gretchen Daily, Gloria Amor Paredes, David Gadsden, Martin Powell, Lucy Mulenkei, Dr. Florika Fink-Hooijer, Ramiro Batzin, Courtney Nichols Gould, Lucita Jasmin, Frank Elderson, Daudi Sumba, Chief Tapi Yawalapiti, Hiba Obaid Al Shehh and others. https://lnkd.in/ddWMFR6e

In episode 3 of the SwitchMed podcast series on circular economies in the Mediterranean, we get to have an important discussion on how we can realize policy that is not only effective but truly inclusive. These conversations are opportunities to expand our thinking and understand from the experience of others. Thank you David Smith Ph. D. and Antoine Karam for your insights and wisdom.

Realizing our collective potential to achieve our sustainability goals and vision requires that we listen to one another...that we cultivate opportunities for meaningful exchange. It has been a genuine honor to moderate this podcast series with SwitchMed and MedWaves about the circular economy in the Mediterranean region. One of the clearest takeaways I have from discussing the topic with various experts and practitioners is that we are truly in the midst of the transition we are seeking. This is the time to connect about what is working, and at times what is not, so that we can continue to innovate, adapt and embody the change we seek. Stay tuned for the entire series!
