Episode 35: Earth Laws Warrior with Michelle Maloney and Morag Gamble

Sense-Making in a Changing World

It is my great pleasure to welcome Dr Michelle Maloney to Sense-Making in A Changing World. I've known and worked Michelle for years and deeply respect her clarity and commitment to the earth. Michelle is widely known as an Earth Laws (Peaceful) Warrior . She is an extraordinary connector of changemakers and host of wide-reaching networks and challenging conversations. At the core of her work, Michelle advocates for systems change, in order to shift industrialised societies from a human-centred, to an Earth centred governance system.
We talk here about her work and the intersections with permaculture. I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation.
