Passionately Curious “Those who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe are as good as dead; their eyes are closed” Albert Einstein Curiosity and wonder lead to an infinite path of discovery. I love learning and sharing along the way. We live in an incredible time where we have the technological means to learn, connect, and share like never before in history. Join me on the journey as we learn from the hearts and minds of others from all over the world. Open your mind, stay curious and enjoy the ride!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T18:17:57.968085+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/awonderjunkie-6912885"},"episode":{"title":"#121 Sten Linnander - Connecting with the Earth & the Magic of Life","slug":"121-sten-linnander-connecting-with-the-earth-the-magic-of-life","published_at":"2026-02-11T08:27:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/awonderjunkie-6912885/121-sten-linnander-connecting-with-the-earth-the-magic-of-life","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/awonderjunkie-6912885","url":"https://awonderjunkie.podbean.com/e/121-sten-linnander-connecting-with-the-earth-the-magic-of-life/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/2e86ccjp4kurxtih/riverside_sten_linnader_backup_ryan_anderson_s_stu68thb.mp3","summary":"Sten Linnander shares his journey from a childhood filled with global experiences to a deep exploration of spirituality, science, and the connection with the Earth. He shares his work in geophysics, the importance of intentional communities, and the Living Globe project aimed at visualizing Earth as a living organism. He touches on empowerment through community initiatives in Nepal, the magic and mystery of everyday life, and the need for a deeper communication with the Earth. Ultimately, Sten emphasizes the importance of curiosity, self-empowerment, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Sten Linnander grew up in Sweden, Afghanistan and Nepal, and later earned a degree in physics and geophysics from the University of Stockholm. He currently lives in Konstanz, Germany, where he divides his time between running an NGO to improve the lot of schoolgirls and women in one of the poorest districts of Western Nepal and working to make affordable state-of-the-art “living globes” that display the Earth as she looks right now. His quest in life is to understand how we can reconnect with the living world around us and take our rightful place as conscious participants in its evolution.
