From Crisis to Clarity: Understanding our Energy Blindness
In this watch party session, we will be viewing segments of Nate Hagen’s videos, pause periodically for reflections and have sense-making discussions about what is happening in the worlds we live in.
TRIGGER WARNING: This session is part of follow-up series on the permacrisis, polycrisis and metacrisis. The discussion and concepts covered may make you feel overwhelmed, depressive and/or anxious. Please only sign up if you are in a good space, comfortable with ambiguity, and can bring in a mood of curiosity.
About this session
What does it mean to be, in Nate Hagen’s words, energy blind? What is our relationship with energy? What are the impacts and implications on our futures?
Nate is the Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future (ISEOF) and hosts The Great Simplification podcast, where he has conversations with experts in energy, ecology, government, technology, and the economy to provide a systemic view of the world around us.
In this watch party session, we will be viewing segments of Nate’s videos, pause periodically for reflections and have sense-making discussions about what is happening in the worlds we live in.
We also invite Energy CoLab as a resource and discussion partner to be part of the conversation to share their thoughts and reflections.
Together we will:
- Identify the missing perspectives around energy creation and usage.
- Understand how money and debt are part of the energy blindness.
- Discuss the nature of the Superorganism that’s emerging.
- Create space to process and share what the impact is on you.
A light dinner (pizza party!) will be provided before the session starts.
This session is for those who…
- Are curious about how energy ecosystem impacts us and the way we live
- Are interested to widen their understanding of the polycrisis or metacrisis
- Have encountered the thought leadership of Nate Hagens and want to meet up with fellow concerned citizens

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a lecture?
The session will be a combination of watching videos, small group discussions and whole group sharing. - I can’t make it for this session. Will there be another run?
Please follow us on our social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram) to get updated should we run future sessions. - I attended Studio Dojo’s ‘Crisis To Clarity’ or ‘The World is in a Mess’ session at the Creating Narratives For Change 2024, how does this session differ from that?
Those sessions provide a broad overview of the polycrisis and metacrisis. In this evening event, we will zoom into specifically understanding the world’s energy ecosystem and how it contributes to the global challenges we are facing.
