Hello Curious Soul,
I'm Jes. Join me as I share everything I am learning utilizing practical ekoPhilosophy as a meta-technology for driving change towards ekoPhilosophical health and regenerative futures.
Hello and welcome,
I started this publication to share with you my 10+ years of research in the field of systems change and strategies for transforming complex systems.
My expertise lies in utilizing practical ekoPhilosophy as a meta-technology for driving change towards philosophical health and regenerative futures. And I am here to get you excited about a philosophical life - in line with your values - amidst those apocalyptic times that we live in 🪱🌎👩🏻🎤.
This publication is free and (I am so happy!) people are finding it helpful.
To give you the best idea of what this substack is about, check out the following list of articles I’ve created for you.

What is Rewilding Philosophy
Explaining what I mean by rewilding philosophy feels like explaining a joke; once I put words to it, it loses its true essence. So whatever I describe below, bear in mind that it is also so much more. And it is also whatever you want it to be. The need I saw to rewild philosophy is the result of …
A Worldview Change is Insufficient
Worldviews are like the glasses we never take off. They shape how we see everything—our reality, our decisions, our morning coffee. Worldviews are more than just opinions; they're the architects shaping our societies. The current dominant social worldview feels like trying to catch the ocean in a teacup. It’s reductionist, leavi…
Becoming Philosopher Queen
If I could decide who I'd become at the age of 94, I want to be the hip granny that people come to for advice on how to live. I want to sit in my Kiez's (hood’s) green agora, reading one of the then cutting-edge philosophers, while people stop by to chat about their lives. We don't talk about me. We talk about them. I make some good jokes in between and…
Mycelic Philosophy
In the last couple weeks I have talked to many people about philosophy-gyms. Each one has a slightly different perspective of what it is and what it could be. To find a visualisation, I started drafting the process in a classic (unsuitable) iceberg model. Thanks to

Heavenly Heights: A Spiritual Approach to the Dilemma of Flying
A friend of mine has been traveling all over the world in the past year. He is building an organization that helps leaders make wiser and more sustainable decisions grounded in indigenous wisdom traditions. His traveling included getting to know some indigenous cultures. It also included plant medicine and spiritual …
Spirituality and Regeneration
This text is a translation of a debate that Marius Hasenheit and I had three years ago for “Transform Magazin”, discussing the role of spirituality in sustainability. Although it’s Marius’s arguing with me, it might as well be me arguing with myself. I couldn’t agree more with his arguments. And my own. There is also - from where I stand now - so much m…
The paradox of individual action
An elderly man is living in my neighborhood. He is probably in his eighties. Each morning, around 9 am, he walks along the small river close by with his 4-wheeled walker. Hanging on the walker is an empty plastic bag from Lidl. In his right hand, he carries a gripper. Whenever he comes across a piece of garbage (and there is a lot of garbage ar…
The paradox of individual action, part II
In last week's newsletter, I began to talk about the different terms and conceptions of the individual: the dividual, the transvidual, and the interdividual. While each of these terms is helpful and can help us move beyond the idea of the lone and separate individual, today, I would like to point out some concepts and ideas of re-thinking the individual…
