Episode Summary
Q1: Place
If we could do a flypast on any part of the world that is significant to you, which place, city or country would it be and why?
Bucharest in Romania
Q2: Life
Give us a glimpse into your life story so far with an emphasis on what you are doing currently?
I was one of those children curiously obsessed with the future and this obsession has stayed with me. Back in the day Psychology was a revelation to me because it allowed me to enter new spaces. For my PhD I studied Easter egg decoration practises in the rural and urban spaces in Romania on the border of Ukraine. Ten years later I co-initiated the field of Possibility Studies which is bringing people from around the world from across all disciplines to talk about what makes us human and what makes us wonder.
Q3: Reset
Where on earth is your place or reset or re-charge?
London
Q4: Wonder
What wonder of the natural world excites you the most?
Birds fascinate me
Q5: Hopefulness
What is your story of hopefulness (not your own) about a person, business or non-profit who are doing amazing things for the world?
Communities of Easter egg decorators in Romania and Ukraine who through the generations have dedicated their lives to this craft.
Q6: Insight
As we prepare to re-enter, what insight, wisdom or question would you like to share with us?
How is it that we can live in multiple spaces and multiple experiences at the same time? That is the biggest marvel of them all, it's an engine of creativity, of possibility.
