Nordic by Nature is a mindful and spacious sound-crafted audio podcast inspired by Arne Ness, the Norwegian philosopher, who coined the term Deep Ecology. In ten episodes, and with a global perspective, Nordic By Nature explores human, social and personal resiliency and adaptability for these challenging times.
The podcast is sent from Sweden and the foothills of the Himalayas by two colleagues who met in 2017; Tanya Kim Grassley and Ajay Rastogi. The podcast is intended to be listened to like an extended exercise in mindfulness; the soundscape has been designed by sound artist Diego Losa.
