How does language affect thought? In systems theory, worldview is the most powerful agent of our lives, shaped by elements such as community, culture and place. Why does the modern Western worldview leave so many of us empty inside while destroying the life-giving forces of clean air, soil, and water? What other worldviews can we look to for inspiration to shape our own? And how does language impact that shape? What levers exist in our toolboxes to have the greatest impact with the least amount of effort? Elona will share insights from her research and hopefully leave you with some new ideas for action.
