At Work in the Ruins: Dougald Hine at the European Ecovillage Gathering 2024

Today, we’re bringing you a very special recording from the annual European Ecovillage Gathering held in Ängsbacka in 2024, where we had the privilege of hearing from Dougald Hine, an author, visionary thinker and co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project. Through the Dark Mountain project, he has sparked a movement that critically re-examines the dominant narratives of modernity.

In this mind-provoking address, Dougald urged the audience to face the full reality of our present-day crises without giving in to hopelessness.
Delve into the deep-rooted environmental, social, and spiritual challenges that define our time as we listen to Dougald’s powerful call for artists, thinkers, and storytellers to pave the way for new cultural responses and explore how we might live meaningfully in these times of profound uncertainty.
