These are overwhelming, turbulent times, but that also means there is major potential to fill the cracks with new ideas and to transform these destructive systems.
There are specific root causes for problems and holistic solutions everywhere. There is room for prosperity, there is room for regeneration and a shift in values.
Another reality is possible and that is what we're exploring here today.
Welcome to Sage Talking🌍🌊☀
how we may change the world through spiritual practice w/Hannah Puchert 🙏🏼 - German episode
[This podcast is recorded in German]
What is the root of hatred, greed and a false sense ofseparatism in this world?
Doesn’t it always start with the connection to ourselves?
Someone who is in peace, who feels centered and is connectedto themselves and earth, attuned harmoniously to the world around them will notengage in wars, coups, betrayal or inclined to divide and spread hatred.
So it starts with us.
Imagine if politicians before parliamentary session took a5-minute meditation together to ground themselves, served each other tea andcoffee as acts of service and connected to one another in meaningful ways -only 5 minutes a day…
The world would be a different place.
Whether it is yoga, any devotional practice or spiritualpath, these practices are powerful tools beyond what we sometimes imaginepossible.
Widespread engagement with spiritual practices and personalreflection, work and the deep connection and attunement to the inner and outerworld would change our societies deeply, sustainably and meaningfully.
We create our lived realities, individually andcollectively.
It takes hard work, that is often uncomfortable, that is deep andrevealing, but what happens on the other side of that is deeply healing forourselves and the entire planet if we choose this path.
The creation of harmony within creates harmony without.
The harmonious will seek and create harmony –
the distraught will seek destruction.
We muse on these topics in this episode which is the firstGerman episode on this podcast 🙏🏼

Living on our own terms, financially & spiritually with Nikki (@girl_on_gaia)
Nikki (@girl_on_gaia) (https://www.instagram.com/girl_on_gaia/) is a special soul who is one of thosepeople defining herself, her purpose and place and this earth in multi-faceted,earth-connected and freedom seeking ways.
In this episode we speak about what different ways ofrelating to earth within the current socio-economic systems might look like.
New ways of generating an income that are independent from this system butstill utilizes its tools and offer chances to be financially stable all the way tofinancial freedom, while making a positive impact and being able to connect deeply to earth.
Nikki is a glowing woman who really walks the talk. Havingmoved from South Africa to Europe at 19 years old in order to explore this partof the world, she moved from years of working hard out of necessity, withoutpurpose, in ways that deteriorated her well-being
to living a slow, purposeful, abundant life in Spain withher partner who shares her values.
Many of us are finding out that being disconnected fromearth and hustling all day within a system that funnels our generated energy,monetary or material creations straight up the line to the company we work for,the CEOs and boards and governments of the countries we live in – is simply not it!
Let us explore different ways of living that utilize modern tools but also connect us back to more ancestralways of
🌱 living off the land, of being present and integrating a slowness backinto our lives that makes our days feel long and full again.
💚Nikki’s message from the heart in this conversation is:
“the medicine of the world is, that humanity starts seeing itself aspart of the earth again. It is a community. You’re not just a community withthe people around you. You are in community with the trees. You are incommunity with the animals, everything, all the elements in nature […] and thatis the medicine, the solution for going to the next level, the next dimension,the next frequency where we are all working towards the ‘new earth’. “

from waste to couture with ancestral elements - Tess Van Zalinge
Tess van Zalinge (https://www.tessvanzalinge.com/), a designer from the Netherlands, started
her brand in 2016 with the urge to make sustainable couture.
What makes her brand unique is that Tess and her Team create entire collections made from waste materials, crafting truly extraordinary
pieces that prove that sustainability never diminishes the beauty of
fashion but only adds to the allure because it was designed consciously by
closing waste streams and using finite resources smartly and respectfully.
Tess’s main inspiration comes from Dutch traditional
craftsmanship which at its core, like most old traditional ways was inherently
sustainable only that it was done out of practicality, financial reasons or
emotional reasons, leading to continued repair and care for long lasting garments
over decades as the norm.
Her way of looking at textiles is influenced by the way her
ancestors, repaired, upcycled and re-used garments until the very last thread
which is an ecological and simply smart way of looking at any “resource” also
beyond fashion.
The beauty lies in re-discovering those traditional, artisanal
techniques and practices that if utilized and highlighted can find their way
back into the here and now.
We can all get inspired by smart designing that
combines traditional and contemporary technologies to combat and make redundant
the craziness of today’s industries that often produce double the waste that it
took to produce the intended items!
On a planet where SO much clothing exists that it will last
to clothe the next SIX generations (https://www.asustainablelife.co.uk/whats-so-wrong-with-fast-fashion/), there is more than enough material to go round
without any company having to produce another single new item for the next
hundred of years!
Re-think, re-cycle, re-design, re-use.
We hope you get inspired for your own work to look into
ancestral crafting if you haven’t done so yet to harness that knowledge and
intention that stems from a time where humans grew and produced without waste
and for sustenance.
