In this conversation we dive into the role of activism in our lives and work, and reflect on some of the different ways to be ‘energetically active’ to enable a healthier way of living together. We talk about the different forms of activism that we can engage in - from being a citizen, rebel, change-agent and reformer - to reflecting on the role of delicate activism and 'being the change' as powerful ways to transform our communities towards a healthier future.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we reference the following:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://commonslibrary.org/the-four-roles-of-social-activism/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Four Roles of Activism </a>- Bill Moyer (website)</li><li><a href=\"https://extinctionrebellion.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Extinction Rebellion - global movement </a>(website)</li><li><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Overstory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Overstory - Richard Powers</a> (book)</li><li><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Spring\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Silent Spring - Rachel Carson</a> (book)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-laws-to-clamp-down-on-disruptive-protesters-come-into-force\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disruptive Protest Legislation</a> - UK (website)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.craftivist-collective.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Craftivist Collective - Sarah Corbett </a>(website)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dancing Man on a hillside</a> (video)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjkHtXRpyI4&amp;ab_channel=CHANGEFestival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Climate Criminals?
