E30 | Jordi Lydia | A Radical Remedy: Reclaiming Evolution in Communion with Life
“Reclaiming evolution is a submission to Life, a submission to the will that is greater than our own.”
Here is an audio version.
A video version can be found below.
In this conversation with Jordi, we explore reclaiming evolution—not as a march of linear ‘progress’ towards ‘perfection’, but as a revitalising of deep-time presence and an embodied relationship with Life’s intelligence. She invites us into the vitality of unlearning, surrendering to a will greater than our own, and metabolizing grief in ways that nourish renewal.
We discuss the influence of media and technology on perception, the responsibility of consuming and creating with awareness, and the role of life-centric leadership in a time of change and trouble. Through Jordi’s lens, reclaiming evolution is both personal and collective—calling us to immerse in the elements, cultivate real human connection, and remember the creative brilliance within us.
Jordi also shares the inspiration behind creating Reclaiming Evolution, an immersive festival designed to foster deep connection and community through experiential workshops and artistry.
In the second half of the episode, Jordi flips the mic and interviews me for her festival’s companion podcast, continuing the conversation on communion, creativity, community, and the wild, heartfelt path that may lead us toward a more rooted, reverent, and regenerative future as we reclaim evolution together.

Moving beyond control into an active, creative relationship with life.
The necessity of unlearning in order to re-member our true nature.
Dark Wisdom:
The art of descent: metabolizing pain, gathering dark wisdom, and embracing grief as an act of regeneration.
Learning to trust the intelligence of the process.
“Reclaiming evolution is a submission to life, a submission to the will that is greater than our own.”
Life-Centric Leadership & Responsible Consumption:
“Everything we take in informs the ecosystem of our body and mind.”
How media, technology, and AI-generated art shape (or extract from) our perception and creativity.
The importance of purifying our internal navigation system—being mindful of what we consume, what influences us, and what we give permission to.
Embodiment & Community:
“A key component to our depth of embodiment as human beings is to be in the elements with ourselves and with each other.”
Surrounding ourselves with those who truly see, hear, activate, and challenge us.
How Jordi’s journey as a mother led her to create Reclaiming Evolution—a festival designed to root people in real connection and shared learning.
Art as Communion with Life:
“Artistry is the way you are translating your communion with life.”
Recognizing ourselves as artists of life—co-creating with the intelligence of existence.
Reclaiming creativity from extractive systems and honoring the regenerative, feeling-based pathways into the future.
