The Human Greenhouse

Modern society has become overly compartmentalised and separated, particularly in healthcare and community life, moving away from the holistic, communal approaches that have historically proven more effective. This is evident in everything from how we handle birth to how we treat illness and even how we view human connection to nature.

Kai Njeri is a regenerative systems designer working in food systems, education, and women's health. She specialises in sexual and reproductive health, working as a doula and birth worker, partnering with hospitals to improve birth outcomes.

In this episode, you’ll
  • Discover how traditional birth practices that embrace community support and celebration offer powerful alternatives to modern medicalised approaches
  • Learn about a Tanzanian hospital program that achieved remarkable results simply by allowing women to birth in different positions
  • Explore how our approach to healing and wellness has become harmfully individualistic, particularly evident during the COVID pandemic, and why communal healing matters
