Ep 30 - The Path of the Spiritual Warrior, with Thomas Legrand

For this episode, I interviewed wisdom seeker and social scientist Thomas Legrand.

Thomas is a wisdom’s seeker, a social scientist and a sustainability practitioner.

Holding a Ph.D. in Economics, he works on forest conservation, climate change, sustainable finance, and leadership with UN organizations, NGOs and companies.

He is currently the Lead Technical Advisor for the UNDP-convened Conscious Food Systems Alliance.

He is the author of the internationally acclaimed book “Politics of Being. Wisdom and Science for a New Development Paradigm” (2022), an invitation to radically rethink our model of development.

His spiritual journey began at the age of 23 with an encounter with native spirituality in Mexico, and he now lives with his wife and their two young daughters near Plum Village, the monastery of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in the South West of France, his country.

Some of the highlights of our conversation are:

• Learnings from immersion in the Native spirituality of Mexico
• Capitulation or the practice of reclaiming one's energy
• The practice of Non-Doing
• A career guided by the energy of the Forest and Wood element
• Lessons from communicating the Inner Dimension to a variety of audiences
• We are open, but the system keeps us isolated
• What is Politics of Being, and its vision for a sustainable future anchored in wisdom.
