Being online is inevitable. Some say soon artificial intelligence will probably be able to control human lives more than ever before. Others believe we are decades away from that evolution. We must keep ourselves sane and maintain human autonomy in the digital age. _ One thing I found important is to be conscious whenever we use online platforms. The tools we use are made by people who want something — whether they want us to be dependent or engage with others in specific ways. They are programmed by people and companies with particular…

I have always been fascinated by the cosmic dimensions of the universe. Although we humans do not think much about our dimension of life on a macro-micro cosmic level, as something continuously evolving and requiring continuous care and maintenance. _ All crises we have been experiencing at the health, social, humanitarian, ecological and economic levels are not separated. Instead, it manifests how we perceive and interpret life at its core. The pandemic has given us insights into how we must behave more frugally and in tune with the natural…

We are overloaded by digital and rushed, especially in mega-cities. _ If we are on our way or having a short break, a message pops up or any distraction on our phone.

With every Scandinavian season, there is an opportunity for enjoyment, both at home and…

Food and travel combined can be one of the greatest joys in life. If taken with a sustainable and ethical approach towards the land, its people, and the ecosystem, it can inspire you and let you learn about the population’s multi-ethnic composition, history, and culture. The notion of taste is…

We face a point in history that requires us to act decisively on how we approach life to reverse the countdown of fading us away from ancestral wisdom. Honoré describes the concept of slow living in his TED talk: In praise of slowness. He came to research the idea of…

Simple. Regenerative. Journeys. We are living in a time of emergency. The urgency of this moment demands a different kind of thinking. I was driven by curiosity while joining a cod fishing activity on a boat in Henningsvaer (Norwegian arctic circle). We went out to sea, and I watched most…
