Can we create a better future by transforming the systems we already have? And what role does spiritual awakening play in that transformation?In this conversation with Chris Preist, professor of sustainability in computer systems and Zen teacher, we explore the relationship between technological innovation, political and economic reform, and the inner development needed to navigate an increasingly complex world.Chris brings a perspective of guarded optimism. We discuss renewable energy, planetary boundaries, capitalism, democracy, AI, and how intelligent policies and technological innovation can help us move towards a more sustainable future. Rather than advocating for revolution, Chris makes a compelling case for working within existing systems to change them.Our conversation then moves into the inner dimension. Drawing on decades of Zen and yoga practice, Chris speaks about accepting our imperfect human nature, recognizing the subtle games of the ego, and allowing the creative energy of life to express itself through us.We also explore the importance of communities of coherence, the dangers of spiritual authority without accountability, and the essential role of trust and genuine peer relationships.A rich conversation about reform, consciousness, cooperation and the possibility of creating a more attractive future with the human beings we actually are.Professor Chris Preist is Professor of Sustainability and Computer Systems at the University of Bristol and its Academic Director of Sustainability.

He studies the hidden environmental footprint of digital technology, from streaming and datacentres to artificial intelligence, and how design, business strategy and policy can reduce it. His team’s analysis of YouTube’s carbon footprint was the first to measure the savings from a specific design change, and he introduced the idea of “digital waste” in online services.Daniela Bomatter is a Swiss-born evolutionary practitioner, facilitator, and former technology executive whose life bridges the worlds of systems transformation, spiritual awakening, and human development.
