#Bonus: Meditation for the Spring Equinox 2024, with Manda Scott
This guided visualisation walks us into the moment of balance between the long nights and the long days, the restorative time of winter and the outward-acting time of summer, between being to doing.
Please take time for yourself to sit quietly, perhaps light a candle, or otherwise create a space out of time that has meaning for you. It doesn’t have to be at the moment of the equinox, whenever that is for you, wherever you are in the world, 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. If you want other, similar journeys, they are a whole host in the Accidental Gods Membership Programme.

Building Scaleable Trust – Of Identity, Commons and Governance with Grace Rachmany of Sideways Earth
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”.
