Episode 19: Realigning Business From Harm To Harmony with Ryan Kemp
In this episode:
Regenerative business consultant, educator and author Ryan Kemp delves into what it means to be regenerative and how incorporating regenerative principles into business can move us beyond sustainability into creating abundance for all stakeholders and the planet.
He shares his insights from distilling the wisdom of Ayurvedic and yogic teachings into a succinct approach which helps detach us from the over-identification with self that is at the root of an imbalanced mental state manifesting as extractive and exploitative commerce. Most of how business exists today is a trauma response that has resulted from this perspective of separation.
The ability to see ourselves as part of nature, instead of separate from, or dominating it, is key to living in a more boundless state, and relating to each other with compassion and love - an antidote to ‘wokeism’ that perpetuates fear and othering rather than engendering consciousness.
