Welcome to Emergence Magazine's podcast. I'm Emanuel Vaughn Lee, host of this show, an executive

We also spoke about the vision behind emergence to help reweave the worlds of ecology,

culture, and spirituality.

And once again, understand the Earth is alive, animate and sacred. Good evening,

and sacred.

of architecture in most ephemeral ways immaterial of also material, but what I myself do with my students,
