awakening into connection
Thoughts following the US action in Iraq
We’re all on the journey towards connection and coherence, exploring at whatever rate seems right to us – and then we wake up and find that the world has descended into chaos.
At times like this, it’s easy to fall into tribal narratives – whatever our tribe may be, we know our side is right and the other side is wrong. Which is largely the old-paradigm thinking that got us to this in the first place. Instead, those of us who believe in a different future, need to find ways to be grounded and balanced – we need to be the balance for the world. Every bit of research shows that the more we can change our own energy, the more we can become heart coherent, the more we can shift out of crisis-ridden Beta brain patterns into alpha or even theta, the more the people around us come into balance. The ripple effects spreads out.

Episodes in our Introductory Series
Building the roots of a world that will work – with Victoria Hurth, co-author of Beyond Profit
We exist in a world where the ultra-rich are getting richer, powered by a system we call ‘the economy’ which is serving to funnel power and value up to an ever-shrinking core of wounded individuals who then project their trauma out on the rest of the world in a doomed attempt to feel better about being caught in a system that doesn’t promote human wellbeing.
Of Beetles’ wings and Brittlestars: using Biomimicry to co-create a flourishing future with Michael Pawlyn
What is humanity for? What happens if we rethink not just the way we plan buildings, but our entire role as beings on a living planet? These are the central questions driving Michael Pawlyn’s third edition of the life-changing book, Biomimcry in Architecture.
Let the Wild Gods Rise! Bridging Between the Worlds with Jackie Morris and Tamsin Abbott
Let the Wild Gods Rise. Easy to say and harder to do – but if you were offered a portal, a way to step into the other-worlds, to reconnect with all that we have been and could be, would you take it? If you’re listening to this, you are likely steeped in the mechanical world of our culture – but it doesn’t have to be like this. The other worlds are alive, present…wild—and just within reach. All we need are doorways, places where the veils between the worlds grow thinner and then route maps to take us to—and through—them.
The Magic in the Tales we Tell: Living new Stories in Service to Life with Paddy Loughman
How do the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves, each other and our place in the web of life shape our world?
How can we craft narratives that shift the way we see and experience the world? Is this even the best leverage point to start off with or is there a deeper/wider/more effective acupuncture point we could explore as we evolve to become…what?
A Dawning Mind: Exploring the science of spirituality with Dr James Cooke
Why are we here? How do we think? What is the nature of life? What are the boundaries between ourselves and the rest of the living web—between ourselves and the rest of the universe across space and through time…and in the timeless, formless place from which everything arises?
Step by Radical Step: The Route to a Flourishing New Economy with Colleen Schneider

Dreams as a Way of Life – Becoming a Good Relative with author Hilary Giovale
Our Trauma Culture has spread across the globe with terrifying speed and ghastly efficiency.

The language is often different, but at heart, this is where we need to go.
Popshift: Changing the global Narrative on all our screens with Romain Vakilitabar of Pathos Labs
We are a storied species: Everything we do arises from the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves and each other and our relationship with the web of life.
