Sense-Making in a Changing World
Episode 132: Slow Living with Keibo Oiwa and Morag Gamble
In this episode, I welcome Keibo Oiwa, a leading environmental activist in Japan and founder of The Sloth Club – an NGO that promotes slow and sustainable living, encouraging a new appreciation of rural life and a simpler way of living, with community, growing and nature the focus. This episode is part of the recorded series from the International Festival of Ideas, held in May 2024.
Keibo is an educator, cultural anthropologist, filmmaker, public speaker and author of over 50 books. In his session during the Festival, he advocated for a localised future, attending to the art of creating a sustainable society and lifestyle with the low-energy, recycling-oriented, symbiotic, and non-violent lifestyle.
