We are delighted to welcome author, Jenny Grettve, and strategist and curator Marianne With for a conversation about Jenny’s book ‘Mothering Economy’, on what it's like to be human in the 21st century, and what constitutes a meaningful life in a world on fire.

Jenny & Marianne will also discuss how and what we can do to shift our consciousness about how we - as individuals and collectively - can exist in the world while also caring for it, for future generations ,and how our dominant worldview prevents us from imagining and building economies that are based on reciprocity and care for all life not domination, extraction and even destruction.
