Power to the People: Changing the way things work with Simon Oldridge
We all know the climate and ecological tipping points are terrifyingly close. What can we do – as individuals and collectively?
This week we talk to Simon Oldridge, who is working to find politically viable ways to address the climate and ecological emergency. I know that many of you listening are not in the UK but I hope that some of the ideas we explore, particularly the bigger ones of global power systems and routes to net zero and nature-based solutions, strike home far outside the boundaries of this island.
Becoming Intentional Gods: Claiming the Future with Indy Johar of the Dark Matter Labs
We are at a moment of decision: are we ready to claim our birthright as the Interstitial Generation between the old paradigm of extraction, consumption and pollution—and the new one that could arise where we accept the interbecoming of all things, where we as individual humans take our place in a community of care and experience that encompasses all of the world?
Courageous Conversations – talking about what matters with Rowan Ryrie of Parents for Future
How can we, as parents, grandparents and anyone who cares about the fate of future generations, live our lives in such a way that when our children ask us why we didn’t do more, we can say with honesty that we did all that we could? How do we help them to build resilience, to feel safe in a supportive community and in connection with the natural world so that as they grow, they can face the truth about the world they have inherited?
And how can we use our role as parents to create conversations that matter, not only with people with meet in our daily lives but also with those in positions of power.
The Web of Life & New Tech Webs – A Beautiful Connection? With Monty Merlin of ReFi DAO
How much do you know about AI, blockchain and Web 3.0? If you’re like us, the answer is probably very little. But these techs are going to change our world out of all recognition and while there is the potential for catastrophe, in the right hands, the same technology has the potential to help us shape the future we’d all be proud to leave behind and this is what this podcast is about.
What your Food Ate – Or why you should never eat industrially farmed food ever again- With Anne Biklé and David Montgomery
How does soil health intimately and profoundly impact human health? What’s the link between the soil microbiome and the human gut microbiome? How can we begin to restore our health, and the health of the living earth in concert with each other?
Transforming Narrative Waters with Ruth Taylor of the Common Cause Foundation
How do we change the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves and each other – and our place in the world – into stories of transformation, trust and togetherness? This week we talk to Ruth Taylor, whose theories of narrative change are at the heart of all we do. We were blown away by the ideas she put forward and the clarity of her thinking.
Equinox Meditation: Finding the balance point in ourselves and the world
Manda’s Equinox meditation focuses on finding our sense of balance as the tilt of the world balances between summer and winter, light and dark, day and night. And from that, finding a stable place with the three pillars of our heart minds: joyful curiosity, gratitude and compassion.
Walking the edge between light and dark: Equinox reflections on Accidental Gods past, present and future
How can we heal our relationship with the earth, heal ourselves and feed the world good, nutrient-dense food?
In this, our 200th episode of Accidental Gods podcast, Manda was delighted to be joined by André Tranquilini, estate manager at Waltham Place, a 220 acred biodynamic estate in Berkshire, in the UK.
