Glenn Albrecht
Glenn Albrecht is an environmental philosopher and visionary thinker who has given language to the emotional and cultural dimensions of ecological crisis. Best known for coining the term **“solastalgia”**—the distress caused by environmental loss—he has more recently articulated the concept of the **Symbiocene**, a hopeful new epoch defined by mutually beneficial relationships between humans and the rest of life. Albrecht’s work moves beyond critique into imagination, offering a rich vocabulary for sensing, naming, and cultivating regenerative futures rooted in connection, care, and ecological belonging. By helping people feel as well as understand the transition from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene, he bridges inner experience and systemic change—resonating strongly with the Planet Project’s values of compassion, sacred regard for life, truth-seeking, and co-creating a more harmonious planetary culture.
