Biophilic Solutions: Nature Has the Answers

Podcast af Serenbe Media Network

A podcast about the human connection to nature. Biophilia is the innate connection that human beings seek with the natural world. Every other week, hosts Monica Olsen and Jennifer Walsh sit down with thought-leaders and experts across a wide range of industries to discuss the impact that nature has on our wellbeing, why we need nature in order to thrive, and what steps we can all take to live in harmony with the natural world. They pose questions centered around finding common-sense solutions to some of society's biggest problems. Asking guests, how can we take local and global actions that nurture the living, social, and economic systems that will sustain future generations? Faced with challenges like climate change and an ongoing pandemic, reconnecting with nature has never been more imperative. We hope you’ll join the conversation around the growing biophilic movement and come along on our biophilic journey. Subscribe, follow and listen today, because nature has the answers.

episode What Do We Owe Animals? With ‘Meet the Neighbors’ Author Brandon Keim artwork
What Do We Owe Animals? With ‘Meet the Neighbors’ Author Brandon Keim

We know that many animals possess “human-like” qualities: the ability to play, sustain friendships, mate for life, and even reflect on the past. But what should we actually do with that information? That’s the crucial question that Brandon Keim poses in his latest book Meet the Neighbors: Animal Minds and Life in a More-Than Human World. Brandon is a journalist who specializes in science, nature, and animals. His work has appeared in publications like National Geographic, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and WIRED.  In this conversation, we explore questions of what we owe animals, the concept of animal personhood and what legal rights animals should be entitled to, and how we can have nuanced conversations about all of these issues.  Show Notes * Meet the Neighbors: Animal Minds and Life in a More-Than Human World [https://bookshop.org/shop/biophilicsolutions] by Brandon Keim * Brandon Keim Website [https://brandonkeim.net/] * Subscribe to Brandon’s Substack [https://brandonkeim.substack.com/] * Nonhuman Rights Project [https://www.nonhumanrights.org/] * Books by Richard Louv [https://bookshop.org/contributors/richard-louv-bde3e96f-eea0-480c-8629-d0165c390007] Key Words: Animals, Animal Welfare, Animal Rights, Nature, Nature Based Solutions, Biophilia, Biophilic, Animal Personhood, Zoo, Animal Intelligence, Science Biophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

episode A Thriving City is a Walkable City with Jeff Speck artwork
A Thriving City is a Walkable City with Jeff Speck

With the rise of suburban sprawl and city planning that has prioritized car travel above all else, modern American cities seriously lack comfortable walking and biking infrastructure. It’s a massive issue - but solutions do exist and importantly, those solutions are decidedly doable.  Today we are so thrilled to be speaking with Jeff Speck, a city planner, who is widely known for his work advocating for and creating more walkable cities. His book, Walkable City, first published in 2012, has been translated into seven languages and is the best selling city planning book of the 21st century. Walkable City is also a winner of the Green Prize for Sustainable Literature. Jeff believes that a thriving city is a walkable city, where cars are instruments for freedom but aren’t necessary for the day-to-day basics of living. We would also add that walkable cities are fundamentally biophilic because livability and wellness are at the core of biophilia. In this episode, we chat with Jeff about making cities more walkable, the economic benefits of walkable cities, and demanding more of our environments.  Shownotes  * Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time 10th Anniversary Edition [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions??new-list-page=true]by Jeff Speck * The Smart Growth Manual [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions??new-list-page=true]by Jeff Speck * Walkable City Rules [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions??new-list-page=true]by Jeff Speck * Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions??new-list-page=true]by Jeff Speck  * The walkable city (TED Talk) [https://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_speck_the_walkable_city?subtitle=en] * 4 ways to make a city more walkable (TED Talk) [https://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_speck_4_ways_to_make_a_city_more_walkable?subtitle=en] * Street Fight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution [https://www.amazon.com/Streetfight-Handbook-Revolution-Janette-Sadik-Khan/dp/0143128973] by Janette Sadik-Khan and Seth Solomonow * Confessions of a Recovering Engineer [https://bookshop.org/p/books/confessions-of-a-recovering-engineer-transportation-for-a-strong-town-charles-l-marohn/15109476?ean=9781119699293] by Charles L.

episode Mushroom Hunting and the Joy of Discovery with Emily & Gregory Han artwork
Mushroom Hunting and the Joy of Discovery with Emily & Gregory Han

Mushrooms are fascinating. They’re not quite plants and they’re not quite animals. Unique and charming mushroom caps are just the fruit of a massive, interconnected mycelium network. And there are millions of mushroom species yet to be discovered.  In this episode, Gregory & Emily Han share the mysterious world of mushrooms. They’re the co-authors of Mushroom Hunting: Forage for Fungi and Connect with the Earth, a wonderfully accessible pocket guide for identifying common mushrooms and cultivating the joy of discovery. With Emily & Gregory as our guides, we learn about mushroom hunting as a mindfulness practice, why you don’t have to harvest or forage to enjoy the simple pleasure of looking, and the mental health benefits of staying curious.  So, let’s hit the trails and see what we can find.  Show Notes * Mushroom Hunting: Forage for Fungi and Connect with the Earth  [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions] * Wild Drinks & Cocktails: Handcrafted Squashes, Shrubs, Switchels, Tonics, and Infusions to Mix at Home [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions] * Wild Remedies: How to Forage Healing Foods and Craft Your Own Herbal Medicine [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions] * Creative Spaces: People, Homes, & Studios to Inspire [https://www.chroniclebooks.com/products/creative-spaces?srsltid=AfmBOoq4KQw_lq4iGmr3eJKOWkXJo1bG2I0z95doyEf8NJ1Jp6_-pWnH] * Emily Han Website [https://emilyhan.com/] * Emily Han Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/emily.y.han/] * Gregory Han Website [https://www.gregoryhan.com/] * Gregory Han Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/typefiend] Key Words: Mushroom, Fungi, Mycelium, Foraging, Harvesting, Nature, Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Wellness, Mindfulness, Pocket Nature Biophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

episode Social Prescribing and Nature as Medicine with Author Julia Hotz artwork
Social Prescribing and Nature as Medicine with Author Julia Hotz

What would you think if your doctor wrote you a prescription to take a walk outside? To visit an art museum? To take a yoga class? It may sound unconventional, but the practice of prescribing nonmedical interventions to improve health, known as social prescribing, is becoming more and more commonplace. This week, we’re chatting with Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. With Julia as our guide, we’ll explore the profound relationship between environment and wellness, the amazing health outcomes of social prescriptions, and the healthcare professionals at the forefront of this growing movement.  In a busy world, where so many of our ailments are lifestyle based, social prescribing helps connect us back to the things that make us human.  Show Notes * The Connection Cure: he Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging [https://bookshop.org/lists/author-interviews-biophilic-solutions?] by Julia Hotz * Social Prescribing Website [https://www.socialprescribing.co/] * You’re Not Sick – Your Environment Is [https://slate.com/technology/2024/05/mental-health-crisis-antidepressants-therapy-connection-cure.html] (Slate) * The Connection Cure explores social prescriptions to improve mental health [https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2024/06/25/connection-cure] (NPR) Key Words: healthcare, public health, preventative medicine, nature, biophilia, biophilic design, culture, art, wellness, social prescribing, loneliness, health, lifestyle, mental health  Biophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.
