He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne.

This week, we are in conversation with Bruce Parry. You may remember Bruce from the BBC series Tribe in which his final meeting with the Penan people in Borneo inspired the film Tawai. This is a beautiful and moving film that shows the egalitarian way of life of the Penan people. In this conversation we explore what we could imagine for our world in terms of living in balance and peace, looking to the Penan, and Mbendjele people. This is a beautiful continuation from last weeks episode with Riane Eisler, where we look to the egalitarian ways of the past. We hope you’ll enjoy this episode!

This week, we are in conversation with Riane Eisler, a major inspiration and trailblazer for our work at Soul Seed Gathering. Riane’s work draws from the deep feminine past and brings it into relevance today, looking at how we organize ourselves in society, understand economics, relate to our sexuality, partnerships, and how we raise children. Author of Chalice and the Blade, her most recent offering is ‘Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future’ co-authored with Douglas P. Fry. We believe Riane deserves even more acknowledgment and recognition than she’s received for how monumental and perspective-altering her work is for humanity. We know you’ll enjoy this episode!

Sharing a solo episode today, before we return to our recorded conversations next week, to speak to the topic of Self Love and how we may be trying to get to it the wrong way. We may talk about connecting to the Earth and living in Harmony with Her but how does that feel embodied and through a rite of passage experience? Join SSG Founder Hannah Ruth Dyson this week to explore this topic.
