Phenomenal Conversation #40 - Eko-Philosophy – Rewilding the Mind for a Regenerative World 1/2,

Brings to life the practical and poetic possibilities of a new way of thinking, sensing, and being. During this intimate and thought-provoking interview, Jessica Boehme shares her personal and philosophical journey from engineering to eco-philosophy. Drawing from her experiences in sustainability research, systems thinking, and spiritual inquiry, Jessica invites us to explore what it means to live wisely in a world on the brink.

Episode 2 is a 'Live Podcast' recording of the collective enquiry engaged in after this interview with Jessica. To be published in the week following this interview's launch.

Key themes included:

- Philosophy as a practical, lived practice. Jessica describes how philosophical inquiry can move from abstract theory into daily, embodied decisions and life experiments.

- Relational worldviews that reconnect us with the more-than-human. We explore the idea that individuals are not isolated entities, but part of an interconnected ecological and cosmic web.

- The struggle to embody philosophical insights in everyday life. Living by relational or regenerative principles isn't easy—it challenges comfort and calls for deep integration.

- "Philosophy Gyms" as spaces for collective sense-making. Jessica introduces her work bringing philosophy into organizations through dialogic, reflective spaces for deeper inquiry.

- The role of embodiment in reflection and transformation. She emphasizes that real philosophical practice engages the full self: body, heart, mind, spirit, and relationship.

- Re:Wilding philosophy—bringing thought back to the body, the Earth, and community. Re:Wilding Philosophy calls for returning philosophical thought to its roots: relational, ecological, and transformational.
