Alex Wright and Callum Bell talk with the hot-tub philosopher about barrels (obviously), planetary consciousness, the future of humanity, and the future of our ecovillage community.

Callum writes: “Our Findhorn Barrel episode #8 with Roger Doudna, beloved barrel-meister whose iconic home our podcast was named after. A barrel within a barrel, barrel-ception if you will … I swear it’s still good-humoured light-listening – enjoy! Oh and accidental divine-timing with this one as Roger talks about the Firebird stained-glass window whose reincarnation is appearing in The Park Ecovillage this week.”

The wide-ranging conversation also covers Roger’s

  • university education and career, including his dissertation based on Truth in Arts influenced by Plato’s philosophy
  • passion for filmmaking and politics
  • involvement with many conferences held by the Findhorn Foundation
  • attendance at COP21 when the historic Paris Agreement was reached in 2015 which led him to working with the Carbon-neutral initiative for the ecovillage.

A sticker on Roger’s door states: Sustainability is the last frontier.
