Six months ago my friend linked me to an interview with British entrepreneur and troublemaking activist Clare Dubois because he reckoned “she talks your language, Sarah”. I was moved to my viscera from the moment she launched her gloriously, inspired riff.Clare talks a profoundly wild idea that resonates for me: We are about to send ourselves, as a species, extinct. No one is going to come and save us, but trees might just. Clare is a business coach and founder of the Treesisters reforestation charity and she now lives in California. She's a global leader in arguing that our salvation can be led by businesses embedding trees into every financial transaction. She argues that trees can fix many things... and can teach us how to be boldly human again.Learn more about Treesisters: https://treesisters.org/ Favourite Wild with Sarah Wilson on the LiSTNR app hereFind out more about Sarah Wilson: www.sarahwilson.comGet your copy of Sarah Wilson's book This One Wild and Precious Life: A hopeful path forward in a fractured world hereReferences from this episode:The Overstory - Richard Powers hereThe Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World - Peter Wohlleben hereMartin Luther King Jnr speech about staying awake for the revolution hereThis episode covers some pretty heavy stuff around sexual abuse.
