Voices of Emergence

What does it take to lead from courage when the old system makes one last stand? 

In this episode, cultural futurist and ecosystem builder Ida Faldbakken joins us to explore daring as a practice, naming what’s hard, finding beauty in the mess, and cultivating creative resilience in a world moving fast.

We go deep on:

Daring & vocalization
Creativity as grounded force
Ancestral memory & ritual
From “impact” to “wisdom investing”
Community beyond hype cycles
AI & culture
Safety & belonging

Ida is known for weaving across tech, art, and systemic change—curating gatherings (like Katapult in Oslo), nurturing cross-disciplinary communities, and now convening The Lineage Office, a field for wisdom-led design and “grounded forward” futures.

Voices of Emergence is a podcast about inner transformation and systemic regeneration, hosted by Alex de Carvalho and Rudy de Waele.
