“The Political Aspects of Community Building”: A’ida Al-Shibli in a conversation with Teodora Radulescu at the European Ecovillage Gathering 2024

In this powerful episode, we explore how to confront systemic injustices and work toward a more just and peaceful world, examining the essential role of love and compassion in addressing global challenges.

Our featured guest is A’ida Al-Shibli, a peace activist, Tamera community member, and Indigenous Palestinian Bedouin woman, who delivers a compelling keynote interview with Teodora Rădulescu during the 2024 European Ecovillage Gathering at Ängsbacka.

Al-Shibli calls listeners to recognize their own roles within systemic crises, emphasizing that “everything is political” and urging us to take a stand for life rather than choosing sides in conflicts. Drawing from her experiences in the Tamera community, she presents a revolutionary perspective: that love itself can serve as a core political force.

Join us for this thought-provoking conversation as A’ida’s wisdom challenges us to reflect deeply on how we can meaningfully stand for life amidst today’s polycrisis.
