Episode & Extras posts
Eco-Civilisation: the future we deserve and how we will get there with Jeremy Lent
What is an eco-civilisation? What are its values and what are the frames within which it works? Why do we need it in the first place and what will the Establishment do to maintain business as usual? Most importantly, what can each of us do to live an eco-civilisation into being?
ReWilding our Horses, Rewilding our Souls with Kelly Wendorf of EQUUS
How do we heal ourselves from the ‘lost-ness’ that afflicts our culture? How do we move on from the strange—and wholly untrue— belief our culture holds that we are separate from the natural world, that our cycles of exploitation, extraction, destruction, pollution are the way the world is, that this is the natural order and there’s nothing we can do to change it, individually or collectively?
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?
Step by Radical Step: The Route to a Flourishing New Economy with Colleen Schneider
Our western (Trauma Culture) economies run on two falsehoods – we might go so far as to call them lies. Our guest this week is someone particularly well positioned to debunk these and show how how monetary and fiscal policy can be directed toward meeting human needs within environmental limits.
The Crisis and the Call: Journeys through Species-Wide Soul Initiation with Sara McFarland
As the old system is splitting apart, a few brave souls are already working to hospice this old system, acting as Death Doulas to the Great Dying—as well as helping people to awaken the seeds of a new world within. One of these is our guest this week. Sara McFarland is a Soul Initiation and Wild Mind Mentor and Guide, Artist of Consciousness and a Death Doula for the Great Dying.
