The book offers a new perspective as it explores how language, meaning and communication can support us in the process of “becoming ecological” in our daily lives. From food and compost to AI, climate anxiety, and even the nature of reality, the book is a hopeful invitation to see the world a little differently.

Learn how the words we use can shift how we think, relate to one another, and imagine the future. Leave with a fresh way of looking at the world around you.

The discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
