Stephen's soft-spokenness can often disguise the fact that he's a warrior.

love that mercurial riff on being a '(di)visionary' ... !  Like a willingness to be demonized for being disruptive, and even take some arrows in the back for it.

hearing his voice reminded me of his now-prophetic comment at one moment when the Grief & Mystery tour came to Nelson about how, we need to acknowledge that the freedom to gather like this itself, is a rare & special thing (to paraphrase) that hasn't always been available (and with the expected lockdown of Fall / Winter 2021 may again be unavailable)

It’s always good to hear the two of you together. Thanks for bringing this together

An excellent conversation with a little more to hone done on what is to be critical thinking; thank you both.

On Human Culture and Elderhood with Stephen Jenkinson [feat. Gregory Hoskins]

In Extraenvironmentalist #51 we speak with Stephen Jenkinson about our cultural difficulty with death. Stephen draws on lessons learned from decades of working with death to describe how we can frame our civilization’s trajectory. We ask how to find sanity in a time of alienation and if we can be a human in difficult circumstances. Stephen describes the distinct jobs given to us as our family members die. Also, John Michael Greer joins us briefly to talk about the death of Western culture.

Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again).

Despite years in the non-profit and activist world, he finally had to admit he was a marketing nerd and, in the end, he became a marketing coach for hippies. Maybe it was because he couldn’t stand seeing his hippy friends struggle to promote their amazing, green and holistic projects. Maybe it was because he couldn’t keep a 9-5 job to save his life.

Whatever the reason, for almost a decade, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls).  He has also offered most of his workshops on a modified pay what you can basis (a small deposit to attend and then people choose the amount they want to pay at the very end).

This all feels like a minor miracle as Tad spent his early marketing days learning and applying some very inauthentic, high pressure, extremely gross and pushy marketing approaches. This has made him suuuuper allergic to these kinds of approaches because he discovered they made him feel slimy (even in personal friendships), he didn’t sleep well and he’s very sorry to all those people he spoke with back in the day. After a decade of unlearning and unpacking that whole scene – he now feels ready and able to help other people find ways to market that feel wonderful.
