Episode 44: About a regenerative economy, with Mira Megs Lathrop

Our economy is currently breaking down. And while that’s scary, it’s also an opportunity. So let’s ask: how and what do we want to rebuild? Meet Mira Megs Lathrop, the Finanseer. Mira believes that we can go beyond building a sustainable economy and create one that is regenerative.

By mirroring nature and living in a paradigm of abundance, we can transcend the extractive practices that no longer work for us. And we can innovate to a system that functions in right relationship both economically and ecologically. Mira offers clear steps you can take to make a difference, like breaking up with your bank and taking a leap into the quantum field. 🏦💫
