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.

Birthday/Solstice Celebration
It’s our Birthday… and it’s the December Solstice, the time of transition and potential transformation . Manda shares books, podcasts and existential questions with two podcasting friends…
Living to Learn
How can we make learning a genuinely transformational experience? One that’s fun, and inspiring and that teaches us HOW to think, not WHAT to think? Rachel Musson had given her life to asking this question and ThoughtBox is her answer.
The Best of Times, The Worst of Times
How bad are things really? Is it too late to avert the climate and ecological catastrophe? And if not, how do we pull ourselves back from the brink? Exploring answers with Professor Paul Behrens, author of ‘The Best of Times, The Worst of Times’
Breaking the Rules to save the world
How can we take the radical, renegade, rule-breaking, revolutionary ideals of the golden age of Pirates and transmute them to gold in our world? Alex Barker, author of ‘How to be More Pirate’ lays out the maps to the treasure of change.
Raw Courage
In the midst of nonviolent direct action, is a red thread, holding the liminal space between the old and the new, between action and re-action, between hope and extinction. The Red Rebel Brigade is a distinctive feature of XR Actions and here we have a glimpse from the inside.
Codes for a Healthy Earth
‘We cannot save the planet by playing by the rules, so the rules have to be changed.’ What new rules might we all sign up to? Shelley Ostroff talks of her Earth Codes as a basis for a generative future.
Adapting Business: creating jobs that feel worthwhile with Mike Raven of AQai
How do we shift the narratives of business so that it becomes part of the solution, not the core of the problem? How can businesses adapt – and become part of a genuinely regenerative future?
City Repair: Planet Repair: Human Repair
How can we rebuild our cities to become place of community, connection and coherence? How can we build multi-generational tribes that thrive and support each other in the hearts of our urban areas?
The Path of the Trembling Warrior
If we care about the world, how best can we act in ways that are true to ourselves, push our own boundaries, but don’t leave us burned out?
Re-democratising democracy
How do we re-democratise democracy? Understanding that our current system is broken is the first step, but then we need to find ways to gather voices and give agency to those with wisdom, so that we re-create our systems of governance from the ground up.
Dreaming a flourishing future
At a time when we need to be at our most imaginative, Rob Hopkins of the Transition Town movement, has explored the depths of our imagination and creativity. Our society is a dis-imagination machine. But we can reverse it.
Grief Walker and Fire Keeper: Medicine woman Fiona Shaw speaks of Trust, Grief and Emotional Authenticity
Fiona talks about the new depths and challenges – and, yes, opportunities, of this time. And how we can find authenticity in our grief. And new ways of being.
