Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. What you are about to hear is one of seven keynote lessons from our 2022 Commune Wellness Summit, which featured more than 30 world-renowned teachers sharing their insights on a wide range of wellness topics.

Now my hope is that by the end of this extended lesson, you will have discovered at least one aspect of your life that you feel motivated to support with more love, more attention, and more balance.

Now, that insight will be different for each person or even each time that you listen.

And this is one facet of why I called this company Commion, because exposure to a multitude of ideas, you could say a biodiversity of ideas, is how we develop

Each of these teachers has a full-length course available on commune.

So if you are inspired to go deeper, I highly encourage you to sign up for a free 14-day trial of commune membership

at onecommun.com slash trial. You will find more than 100 courses on personal development,

solutions, but rather some key perspectives and core concepts as we grapple with how to do our

individual parts. Our first lesson is from environmental activist, entrepreneur, and author Paul Hawken.

Now Paul has dedicated his life to environmental sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment.

He is one of the environmental movement's leading voices and a pioneering architect of corporate reform with respect to ecological practices.

Paul is also the founder of Project Drawdown, a nonprofit that maps and models the 100 technological, social, and ecological solutions with the most potential to scale and have

impact. He'll be speaking to us about how each of us can make a shift, both in our habits

and mindset from degeneration to regeneration.

I think one of the reasons degeneration to regeneration.

I think one of the reasons that most of us, most people in the world are disengaged about climate
