Light Forest is a movement launched by Dev Lewis to bring more more Light into how we live and regenerate our planet. Together we move away from a ‘dark forest’ world of fear and violence and live with more authenticity and build worlds with more Light.
Through podcasts, writing, and gatherings, we explore Asian philosophy, indigenous knowledge, civilizational history, regenerative economics, and spirituality—seeking the interconnected roots behind today’s global crises, from climate and health to technology and war.
Over the past decade+ I’ve lived in China, the US, and India where I was born. I’m a recognised thinker and network weaver in the space of technology law and policy, China studies, and geopolitics.
Today I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I deepen my practise to live in closer relation to nature. I also work with a variety of communities towards building a more regenerative planet.
