The old system was never fit for purpose - and now it's collapsing around us. So how do we co-create a Thrutopian future that we'd all be proud to leave as our legacy? What stories can we weave of possibility? Of transformation? What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity? What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that really matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves, between ourselves and each other, between ourselves and the Web of Life - so that we can reclaim our birthright as self-conscious nodes in the web of life? We can do this. Some of us already are. Every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being, courageous pathfinders who are exploring the emergent edge of inter-becoming. As a species, we have all the answers, we just haven't yet crafted all the new stories and woven them into a future that works. We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system. Our Choice. Our Chance.…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T10:24:02.025894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699"},"episode":{"title":"The Art of Possibility - A Possitopian approach to the Earth Crisis with Bridget McKenzie of Earth Talk","slug":"the-art-of-possibility-a-possitopian-approach-to-the-earth-crisis-with-bridget-mckenzie-of-earth-talk","published_at":"2026-08-05T00:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699/the-art-of-possibility-a-possitopian-approach-to-the-earth-crisis-with-bridget-mckenzie-of-earth-talk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/2af05d97","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/2af05d97/a1ed51b8.mp3","summary":"\"The Possitopian approach to future thinking expands the cone of the possible future, draws on geophysical realities and data, and also applies imagination to help you imagine future scenarios which are potentially worse or better than you might allow yourself to think.\" So says this week's guest, Bridget McKenzie. Bridget is an artist and regenerative thought leader working to engage people with what she calls the Earth Crisis -which is a new term to me but feels a much better fit than MetaCrisis or Polycrisis. Her career includes being Tate’s Education manager and the British Library’s Head of Learning. In 2006, she founded Flow Associates, a research consultancy in cultural learning. In the past decade, she has focused on the intersection of culture and environment, and has developed training, collectives and campaigns pushing at the radical edges of this field. This includes founding Climate Museum UK, a creative collective putting the Earth Crisis in context, and Earth Talk, a community of practice for Earth Literacy. She co-founded Culture Declares, a movement of cultural workers declaring a planetary emergency. She experiments with creative activism in her city of Norwich. And creative activism is what we're all about - how do we stretch our imaginations beyond the bounds of what we believe to be true now, to what might be true if we can only lay the foundations for something utterly outside our current capacity to imagine? This was such an inspiring conversation with someone who thinks deeply about the nature of art, creativity, culture - and the ways we can engage ourselves and each other at the deepest level.
