Any Human Power: You’ve read the book – now let’s talk about it

A FREE EVENT OPEN TO ALL!

Sunday 15th September 2024

Join Manda for an evening’s exploration of her latest novel, the Myth-Political thriller, Any Human Power.

For the first hour or so, Manda will be in conversation about the book with writing coach Dr Sally-Shakti Willow and Maddy Harland, editor of Permaculture Magazine, and then we’ll open it up to anyone and everyone to ask questions, offer thoughts and generally explore the themes of living and dying, Thrutopia, and how we could create an intergenerational movement for change.

dreaming your death awake

Sunday 27th October 2024

How do you feel when you look forward to death?
Do you have a real sense of life as a precious, magical, emergent experience, that inspires every waking and sleeping moment?
If not, what would it take to fall in love with living, so that not a moment of this life has passed without celebration?

Death is our ultimate teacher: If we can learn how to live with full awareness, then our death becomes a rite of passage, met with grace, gratitude and integrity.

In this 4 hour online Gathering at Samhain, we will explore how to fall in love with life, and how to prepare for this ultimate (at least for this time around) rite of passage in ways that enrich and enliven each passing day.

This Gathering is for anyone who wants to explore the pathways to a life well lived, in the context of a death well met. 

It’s for anyone who comes with good heart. No experience expected or required.

dreaming your year awake

Sunday 5th January 2025

2025 is the midpoint of this transformative, transitional decade.  Each year, as the old paradigm crumbles away, the rate of change grows faster, the shifts less easy to predict.

How can we all best ride this wave of total transformation? How can we bring the best of ourselves to meet the unpredictable fluidity of our world with grace and courage?  Who are our communities of place, passion and purpose and how do we connect with them?

Dreaming your Year Awake offers a structured space where we can explore these questions alone and in small groups.  This is a time to look back at where we’ve been, to see with clear eyes the ways the old world is falling away and then to imagine into being the new ways of becoming and belonging we yearn for.

In this four-hour online Gathering, you’ll have time to reflect, to balance yourself in the moment and and to craft imaginal routes down the ghost-lines of tomorrow so that you can bring the best of yourself to this unfolding year in a way that will last long beyond the first flush of resolutions.

This Gathering is for anyone who wants to start 2025 with a clear, strong intent: for ourselves and, through us, for the rest of the web of life.

It’s for dreamers, explorers, and anyone who comes with good heart.
No experience expected or required.
