#Bonus Meditation for the Winter solstice of 2023 with Manda Scott
Here is our winter solstice meditation – please create a space for yourself where you won’t be disturbed and where you can feel your way into the dark, regenerative space of the longest night. If you want to draw the curtains, switch off all the power and light a candle, this may help you to connect with the place of rest and renewal.

When is a Tree not a Tree? The ‘Net Zero’ Wood Burning Scam – with Dr Mary Booth of Partnership for Policy Integrity
We’re being sold many lies, but one of the most egregious is the idea that cutting down old growth forest, turning it into pellets and shipping it across the world to burn in former-coal power stations is somehow contributing to ’Net Zero’ emissions. It isn’t. Mary Booth, founder and director of the Partnership for Policy Integrity, spends her life in the corridors of power explaining why this is a scam. And now she’s talking to us.
Governable Spaces: Solve for democracy on the internet and our outer politics becomes a lot more sane – with Nathan Schneider
The Western world is in a crisis of democracy – but we learn a lot of our principles from the ways we interact online and the internet is essentially a feudal space that gives absolute power to a few and robs the many of agency. Nathan Schneider proposes that if we were able to shape a more liquid democracy online, our experience of generative interactions would spill over into the outer world. Has to be worth a try, right? So how do we do it?
A trillion willing helpers: Exploring the microbiome of people and animals with Joe Flanagan of Ingenious Probiotics
We know that being kind to our gut biome is crucial to our health, but what about the trillion happy helpers (or not) on our skin, in our lungs, our ears, our mouths… the things we slaughter daily with the ‘cleaning products’ we splash around our homes. What if there was a better way to keep things clean that wasn’t toxic to us and the tiny lives on whom our health depends? Joe Flanagan works at the cutting edge of change, helping us shape the world for a flourishing future.
