In 2012, Rory relocated to Ibiza, Spain, to work with ex-BBC presenter Bruce Parry on the feature-length documentary film ⁠Tawai⁠, exploring humanity’s conceptual separation from nature. He is currently the Creative Director of the ⁠Tyringham Initiative⁠, a world-class think-tank for ‘new paradigm’ thinking – which he co-founded in 2015 – and in 2018 he launched ⁠The Re-Generation⁠, a new media platform for regenerative systems change solutions’. Rory joins Giancarlo to discuss his new book – Thinking Like A Mountain: Seeking the Source Code for a Regenerative Culture. He delves into his three-part book, looking at the context, the cause and the solution. Rory discusses current-day issues from the meta-crisis to social, economic and environmental issues, as well as the cause and finally the possible solutions. He offers a great deal of insight into these topics and references many interesting books and other sources as cited.
