Honouring the Web of Life – Thoughts from the Edge #5 with Manda Scott
In the midst of the polycrisis – or the meta crisis, depending on your point of view – what is the key to the inner change each of us can make that will help us shift our perspective so that we can begin to create the total systemic change we need?
In this solo podcast, Manda explores the Three Pillars of the Heart Mind laid out in the Accidental Gods modules – Gratitude, Compassion and Joyful Curiosity…and then adds a fourth: Honouring all aspects of the Web of Life. How does it feel to honour everything: the things we take for granted, the things we judge as being bad or wrong, the things that disturb us, as well as the things whose loss we grieve so deeply?
Manda explores the idea that shifting to a place of honouring can transform our entire worldview and help us to find meaning and purpose in a world on fire.

If we can build communities of place, purpose and passion, how do we find other communities to link with so we can scale from community to region, keep one another accountable, scale behaviour change beyond a closed or Dunbar-number community to multiple communities, scale actions and collaborations to regional levels without a hierarchical coordination structure and coordinate actions and behaviors based on the commons we share, whether or not we share “values”.
The Art of Possibility – A Possitopian approach to the Earth Crisis with Bridget McKenzie of Earth Talk
