64 | Repairing the Tearing with Dr Gail Bradbrook
Episode 64
Sunday, 11 May, 2025
How can we work within the wounds of severance to bring repair to the trauma-induced damage of people and planet? Gail, one of the Co-Founders of Extinction Rebellion, and Miles walk from Brantham, Suffolk, to the nearby Stour estuary on a cold grey January morning. They chat about XR and protest, birdwatching, body politics, humans as a keystone species, psychedelics, and cultural change. After some time spent with the low-flying knots at the water, Miles and Gail forage some ingredients for lunch as they make their way back to the village. As they cook and eat together, they ask what community practices we need for a kinder future. Gail is a Co-Founder of Extinction Rebellion. Her time is spent supporting people and actions to help us all meet the unfolding collapse of modernity. Dedicated to spreading dignity and freedom, reclaiming people power, and unifying with our global family, her activism has been a source of inspiration for many. Her doctorate is in molecular biophysics.
