What can we learn from the past to create the future?

Mike Kauschke in Dialogue with Roman Krznaric

Political Scientist and bestselling author Roman Krznaric is challenging our relationship to time. Inn his view we are stuck in a “Tyranny of the Now”, a “chronic short termism, an inability to see beyond the immediate here and now”. In his books “The Good Ancestor” and recently “History for Tomorrow” he invites us to see ourselves and the world in a much wider trajectory of time and unfolding that includes the times before us and ahead of us. For Krznaric this inclusive, long-term view opens up a source for deep hope. In an interview with evolve he says:

“I often draw a distinction between optimism and hope. Optimism is the idea that everything's going to be okay in spite of the evidence. I'm not optimistic about the prospects for our species, we are going in utterly the wrong direction. But I'm hopeful in the sense of being committed to the vision and the values that you have, even when the odds are against you. We may well be able to not have our civilizations break, but rather bend, in the face of all the challenges that we face. And this requires a huge sort of shift of consciousness in terms of our relationship to time and the living world. But the question is, can we do it at the speed and scale required, given that we might be going over and already have gone over tipping points? And anybody who's working in the realm of deep ideas will point out that cultural evolution has rarely been fast.”

In Radio evolve we speak with Roman Krznaric about the deep transformation of consciousness and identity that opens up in a much wider, inclusive relationship to time.

Mike Kauschke in Dialogue with Rama Mani & Alexander Schieffer

Thursday, 4. December, 8 pm CET

More than 20 years ago, social activist and artist Dr. Rama Mani and leadership development expert Prof. Alexander Schieffer, founded the organization “Home for Humanity”. They brought students and change-makers from all over the world to their home in France to facilitate transformational learning journeys that unleash the unique creative potential of every person to contribute towards peace, sustainability, unity and wisdom.

Based on that experience and the many connections Rama and Alexander forged during that time, they now embarked on a Global Journey, which they call “Our One Home Journey 2024-2030 – 7 Years for 7 Generations”. The seven-year journey began in April 2024 and completed its first year in the summer of 2025. It reached over 11.000 people in 20 countries on five continents: Egypt, Bhutan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Lesotho, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, New Zealand/Aotearoa, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, the USA, Morocco, Turkey, and France.

Rama and Alexander traveled “from home to home,” supporting transformative initiatives, connecting change makers, and accompanying future builders on their journey toward committed Earth citizenship. At each stop, they lived in the homes and organizations of local partners, shared their daily lives, learned from the communities, and supported them—from urban slums to Indigenous villages, from refugee camps to ecovillages, from universities to businesses. For this work of bringing people together, Alexander and Rama recently have been awarded with the Gusi Peace Prize.

In this session of Radio evolve Rama and Alexander shared the depth of their vision and the integral approach they are developing that sees beauty, wisdom and creative potential in every individual and in every culture, which can be unleashed for a sustainable, peaceful and wise global community on our home planet Earth.

Elizabeth Debold in Dialogue with Nadia Rosmann

Thursday, 20. November, 8 pm CET

The Interbeing Tea Dialogues, a new form of collective ritual, have grown out of the Emergent Dialogue practice that the late Thomas Steininger and Elizabeth Debold developed with the evolve World team over the course of many years. It is a practice that gives us an experiential access to the truth of Interbeing, which is our already connectedness with all Life and with each other and the sacred depth of reality.

The Interbeing Tea Dialogues give rise to a space in which we can bring in our deepest concerns and inspirations to explore them in the shared field of Interbeing. It is a practice that shows were the personal meets the universal, in which we move beyond fragmentation and separation into the wholeness of life, undivided.

The space is set with a ritual, based on the timeless practice of tea ceremonies known in many cultures, which also connects us to the wisdom and presence of plants and the more-than-human-world. Through a process of inquiry, participants are invited to share their own themes and one of those themes is explored in depth together.

In this Radio evolve session, Dr. Elizabeth Debold, co-founder of the Emergent Dialogue practice, speaks with evolve editor and cultural anthropologist Dr. Nadja Rosmann about this practice and the dimensions of togetherness that it opens between us.
