What This Episode Is About This is the final episode of the Harvest Series, and for the first time in ten seasons, the host is the guest. After 143 conversations with scientists, philosophers, monks, activists, and artists, Rose Claverie turns the microphone on herself. What did a decade of listening actually do to her? What changed? What came too late? What surprised her most? This is not a highlights reel. It's an honest account of a slow, quiet transformation, the kind that happens when you spend years asking other people the hardest questions. A huge thank you to Roman and Burak, the visionaries behind Harvest. Joel Moriasi (producer), Alice (les Belles Fréquences), and Chambord for the music! and also Naz, Rita, Neil, and Alix for their support, and the gorgeous Harvest team!

On this episode of the Harvest Series, host Rose Claverie sits down with explorer and Blue Zones creator Dan Buettner to explore what really helps people live longer, healthier lives. After decades studying the world’s longest-living populations, Dan argues that longevity is less about supplements, discipline, or biohacking and more about environment, social connection, movement, purpose, and community. The conversation explores modern society, processed food, loneliness, urban design, capitalism, faith, friendship, happiness, and aging. Dan explains why healthy environments shape healthy behavior more effectively than willpower ever can and why governments and cities play a major role in public health outcomes. The episode also examines purpose, family, meaningful relationships, and how modern life quietly disconnects humans from the conditions they evolved for. Dan also reflects on parenting, legacy, curiosity, and his future work redesigning cities around Blue Zone principles. This is a conversation about longevity, but also about creating lives that feel more connected, meaningful, and human.

On this episode of the Harvest Series, host Rose Claverie sits down with neuroscientist and perception researcher Beau Lotto to explore how the brain constructs reality. Rather than simply observing the world, Beau argues that humans actively create meaning through perception shaped by evolution, emotion, memory, and social experience. The conversation explores anxiety, stress, uncertainty, social belonging, resilience, and why humans are biologically wired toward threat detection. Beau explains how perception influences behavior, why accountability matters, and why modern education systems often reward certainty while suppressing curiosity and experimentation. Through neuroscience and practical examples, he challenges the idea that people truly see reality objectively. The episode also focuses heavily on growth, parenting, leadership, and creativity. Beau shares powerful stories about raising children, encouraging curiosity, creating environments for discovery, and helping people embrace uncertainty rather than fear it. This is a conversation about perception, adaptation, and learning how to navigate an unpredictable world with courage and openness.

On this episode of the Harvest Series, host Rose Claverie sits down with Shaka Senghor for a deeply personal conversation about survival, transformation, and imagination. After spending 19 years in prison, including years in solitary confinement, Shaka rebuilt his life through storytelling, philosophy, meditation, and writing. His journey raises difficult questions about justice, trauma, violence, and redemption. Shaka reflects on growing up in Detroit during the crack epidemic, surviving gun violence, and the emotional weight of incarceration in America. He speaks candidly about shame, masculinity, systemic racism, forgiveness, and what it means to heal without denying responsibility for the past. The discussion moves beyond prison reform into something much more human: how people rebuild themselves after devastation. The episode also explores creativity and ambition. Shaka explains why imagination became essential to his survival, how writing transformed his understanding of himself, and why he now wants to focus on fiction, film, and art rather than only being viewed through the lens of incarceration.

This episode of the Harvest Series podcast, hosted by Rose Claverie, features Daniel Barcay, Executive Director at the Center for Humane Technology. Recorded at Harvest in Kaplankaya, Turkey, the conversation explores how AI is reshaping society and what it means for our future. Daniel reflects on lessons from the rise of social media, the dangers of addictive design, and why AI carries even greater stakes. He explains how AI impacts relationships, privacy, and decision-making, and why it could both empower humanity or destabilize it. From emotional manipulation by AI companions to the risk of losing control when autonomous agents act in our world, this dialogue uncovers both urgent threats and inspiring opportunities. Ultimately, the discussion calls for awareness, policy, and responsible design — and for each of us to ask: are we using AI to become the people we want to be?
