This week we’re passing through with the lovely Grace Rachmany where we’ll take a look at the relational, emotional, and ecological connective tissue that binds us to every living thing on this planet.

Grace is a field representative dedicating her energy toward addressing the metacrisis. She’s a pioneering thinker, writer, consultant and coder whose work bridges decentralized technology, digital democracy, governance, and new forms of economy.

But her work extends beyond the world of code and contracts and asks deep questions about what it means to be human amidst a collapsing civilization. I first met Grace earlier this year, in Hungary, during the Global Eco-village Network Gathering where she spoke about bioregionalism. I loved her spirit and sense of humor and I was really excited to sit down with her again and have some time to talk.

Grace is passionate about promoting the vision of a world where everyone has a say in the decisions that affect their lives. She’s also the founder of Voice of Humanity:

“Voice of Humanity creates systems of collaboration, governance and currency design, and reconstruction of human economic systems with the goal of creating a world in which humans live in harmony with one another and with the natural systems of planet earth.”

So as you might imagine, Grace is a great guest for the types of things this podcast is interested in investigating.

In our discussion we talk about grief, the hard work of composting, bioregionalism, the components of our human infrastructure, governance and membership systems, right speech and the nature of truth, the archetype of the joker, the No Kings protests, harm reduction, working with your neighbors, bridging differences, and a bunch of other good stuff.

I loved this conversation with Grace, and found it hard to stop speaking with her even after we stopped recording. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
