A project exploring global crises through Asian philosophy and indigenous knowledge via a newsletter, website, and podcast hosted by Dev Lewis, featuring conversations with change makers for regenerative change.

Light Forest is a project bring more Light into how we live and regenerate the planet, launched as a website and newsletter in Jan 2024 as part of Kernel Block8 Fellowship.

The Light Forest Podcast is about having conversations with change makers from around the world as we dive deep into areas such as Asian philosophy, indigenous knowledge, civilisational history, regenerative economics, spirituality, and more, searching for the interconnected roots to the many crises engulfing our planet, from war and digital technology governance to climate and health.

Tuning in to this podcast you will hear from thinkers and builders (many from the Web3 space) helping us transition away from the ‘dark forest’ paradigm of infinite extraction, fear, and violence we live in today. You will also hear guests share their own “inner” journeys of regeneration and unlearning to live more authentic lives.

The podcast is hosted by Dev Lewis.

Dev is a researcher and convenor at the intersections of digital technology, law and policy, geopolitics, and authentic living. 
His podcast Light Forest explores the roots of global crises through Asian philosophical lenses. As co-founder of digi-cnx he is building a network of digital technology focused change makers in Chiang Mai.
