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.

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.To see more of Keibo's work, visit his website to learn more about the Sloth Club and the slow living movement.To find the recordings of conversations and events from the International Permaculture Festival of Ideas, visit the Permaculture Education Institute.I'd love to hear from you.

Really live, as nature ourselves, tending the conditions where life can thrive. We ask How do we become the kind of humans this moment is asking us to be?This podcast is one of my acts of myceliation. Each conversation is a thread in a vast network of people speaking up for life with love and care. This podcast beams out from my hand-built solar-powered studio in the midst of a permaculture food forest in a permaculture ecovillage on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country.If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
