#BONUS Solstice Meditation 2025 – Sun Stands Still – by Manda Scott
Here is a meditation for the Solstice – the moment when the sun stands still.
It is suitable for both the summer and winter Solstice (northern and southern hemispheres respectively)
You don’t have to do this at the exact moment of stillness: it’s the connection that counts, the marking of the turning point from days lengthening to shortening (or vice versa if you’re in the southern hemisphere). This is a moment of reflection and a re-affirming of our connection to the web of life.
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.

Hostage Nation Part 2 – Anything we can do, we can afford – with Jamie Driscoll of Majority
” The first and most fundamental duty of a civilised state is the safety of its people.
Not just safety from overseas adversaries, or crime in the street. Economic security. A bill you can pay without going overdrawn. A house you can afford before your children have children of their own. A job that lasts long enough to plan around.
Britain guarantees none of these…” (from the Hostage Nation paper)
How not to be a hostage to the vigilante Bond Markets: with Jamie Driscoll of Majority
What are the actual, practical shifts in our political economy that we could do tomorrow, that would not require extra legislation and could transform our society? While there are many economists looking forward to an idealised system some way down the line, very few people – politicians or economists – are exploring what we could do now, today, within the guiderails of the existing system, with the politicians we have and the economy we have and the constraints of a world undergoing rapid geopolitical as well as geophysical change.
