In this episode of Leading by Nature, host Giles Hutchins is joined by Benjamin Freud, founder of Coconut Thinking, for a dynamic exploration of regenerative education and deep learning in service of life. Together, they challenge the limitations of mechanistic materialism and the idea of the autonomous individual, opening instead to ways of learning and leading that embrace complexity, emergence, and the space in-between self and world. Drawing on examples from the Green School in Bali, they explore how young people engage with complexity differently, the power of placing students and adults on an equal hierarchy, and why playfulness, flow, and even trouble are essential ingredients for growth and emancipation.
