How can we find a way through the obfuscations and extractive values and downright lies of predatory capitalism. Through to authenticity, and integrity and finding language for how we can be who we really are, what our souls yearn to be. And that language is not always English.

Solstice Meditation 2025 – Sun Stands Still – by Manda Scott
Here is a meditation for the shortest night of the year – the time when the sun stands still.
It doesn’t have to be at the moment of the solstice, it’s the connection that counts, the marking of the day. And you don’t have to limit yourself to one pass through – please feel free to explore this more deeply than one single iteration.
Thoughts from the Solstice Edge: Turning the Page on a Dying System with Manda Scott
As we head into the solstice- that moment when the sun stands still—whether you’re in the northern hemisphere where we have the longest day, or the southern, where it’s the longest night—this solstice feels like a moment of transformation.
The Others Within Us: Meeting our Spirit Guides and other entities with Bob Falconer
Our world is more magical than we know – more than we can know. Increasing numbers of us are realising that the ‘citadel theory of mind’ where we see ourselves as isolated units within the boundaries of our own skulls is not how the world works. But if it isn’t, then how do we engage with the web of life and all that’s around it in ways that are respect, reciprocal and generative?

Wellbeing: It’s about wholeness, not happiness – with Dr Mark Fabian, author of Beyond Happy
We grow up thinking we want to be happy (or at least, not-sad). But happiness isn’t enough. What we need is wellbeing, and as Dr Mark Fabian quotes in the dedication to his book, Beyond Happy, “Wellbeing is about wholeness, not happiness, and wholeness is so much more demanding than happiness.’
A Longing for Belonging: Shifting the Cultural Paradigm with Looby Macnamara and Leona Johnson
We are in the midst of the Great Derangement (thank you Amitav Ghosh) – so what tools will help us shape a system that is actually fit for purpose? Who are our elders and what can they teach us? How do we learn to listen to our heart’s (and hearts’) desire and shape the communities of place, passion and purpose that will allow us to emerge into a different culture?
Be More Hawk! Being the courage to follow what’s right with Rachel Musson of ThoughtBox Education

Becoming Spiritual Warriors: exploring a politics of radical Compassion with Jamie Bristow
In a world of turmoil where the only certainty is uncertainty, what happens if we who yearn for a future we’d be proud to leave behind began really to speak the quiet part out loud? What happens if we acknowledge the meaning crisis of our culture and state clearly that we need a world based on Love: on the raw, wild, wonder of life itself? And what happens if we shape our politics around this, instead of defensive attempts to make the death cult of predatory capitalism feel less… deathly?
