What if your eco-anxiety, your grief about the climate, or your sense that the future feels canceled… are actually signs that your imagination is trying to wake up?
Rob Hopkins founded the Transition Towns movement and has spent decades asking one question: what if things could be otherwise? His books — From What Is to What If and How to Fall in Love with the Future — make the case that the imagination crisis is the climate crisis.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why imagination declined in the 1990s — and the neuroscience behind it
How chronic stress shrinks the hippocampus and steals your ability to envision a hopeful future
Why cultivating longing is more powerful than sharing more climate information
What "sensual futuring" means and how to make the future feel real in your body
How Afro Futurism, Solarpunk, and regenerative communities are already building the world we want
We also do a live guided time travel meditation to 2036 — the future we built by doing everything we possibly could.
