#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.
The meditation is available in three versions:
– The original guided meditation by Manda with no background sound
– with background birdsong
– with background music

Healing our Fractured World: Re-Awakening Indigenous Consciousness with Marc-John Brown of the Native Wisdom Hub
As the old paradigm splinters into rage-filled, grief-stricken fragments, how can we lay the foundation for the total systemic change we so badly need?
Even beyond the listeners to this podcast, it is obvious by now that there is no going back. As Oliver Kornetzke wrote in a particularly sharply written piece on Facebook back on 22nd January – before Alex Pretti was murdered by Trump’s Federal Agents – what white America is not experiencing is not new, and is not a flaw in the system, it is the system…
Laws of Nature, Laws with Nature: Nature on Board with Alexandra Pimor of the Earth Law Center
Across the world, our legal systems are crumbling, the rule of sane law dismantled in real time. Yet at the same time, rivers, mountains, bees are being granted legal rights in ways that would have been thought impossible even a few years ago. And in boardrooms around the planet, C-suites and businesses are increasingly looking to the natural world for guidance on how to be in ways that heal the web of life. So how do we make this work? How do we ensure that it’s not just another layer of corporate greenwash?
What ought we be? Hope, despair and the resilience of life with Professor David Farrier
We live in an ever-changing world, but it is not always obvious what kinds of evolutionary change we are seeing in the broader web of life: in physiology, behaviour, language – and human responses to these. How plastic is the natural world? How resilient? How capable – or not – of adapting to the chaos of the climate emergency, the cascade of toxins in our air, soil and water, to the plastics, heavy metals and other detritus we throw out into the world as if the entire planet were one vast sewer for waste we forget about as soon as we’ve had the dopamine drip that acquiring it evoked?
Seeing Round Corners: Upgrading Democracy with Suzette Masters and Dr John Izzo
If we ever had a genuine democracy (and I would argue we never have) then it is clearly disintegrating now, along with the entire system with which it was entwined. Everyone agrees we need something new, what we don’t necessarily agree on across the board is the design of this new thing. This week’s guests are two people who spend their lives imagining how things might be different, particularly in the US, where even the pretence of democracy has been abandoned.
