In this episode, we travel to Morocco to speak with storyteller and ecosystem weaver Hajar Tazi. Working across a wide network of organizations—from Shareable and Gaia Education to the Wellbeing Economy Alliance and the Post Carbon Institute—Hajar helps connect people, ideas, and communities in service of a more resilient future.

Like Louise in the previous episode, Hajar’s path hasn’t been linear. We explore what it means to follow curiosity across disciplines and cultures, and how unexpected turns can lead to deeper purpose. Influenced by the work of Joanna Macy, Hajar reflects on living in a time of both unraveling and transformation—and shares her visions for what a more hopeful future could look like.
