Solastalgia: The pain or distress caused by the loss of, or the inability to derive solace connected to the negatively perceived state of one's home environment (Glenn Albrecht, 2007). For this episode of the Post Growth Australia Podcast (PGAP) co-hosts Mark Allen and Michael Bayliss explore the emotional impact of becoming disconnected from home and place, an experience that can too often be a downstream consequence of the rapid pace of our growth-based culture. Michael and Mark share their own experiences and are joined by two special guests. Ron Birch is a long-time activist based in the Forest of Dean, UK, who among many achievements coordinated the Stratford Park Trees protest in Stroud in the late 1980's. Jeannie Steed, a current resident of Albany who was born in the UK, shares her experience of feeling disconnected from her home country during a recent visit. If you would like to watch footage of the Stratford Park Trees protest and one of the confrontations that they faced, a video is available on YouTube below. We warn that some scenes may be confronting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj_cZ87duoM&t=569s Shifting baseline syndrome describes how each new generation accepts a degraded natural environment as the normal baseline. Coined by fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly in 1995, it explains why people do not notice long-term ecological loss, leading to lowered expectations and less pushbacks against environmental damage. Michael and Mark discuss the challenges of discussing solastalgia, particularly when the sense of loss associated with time and place is deeply personal, difficult to put into words, and hard for others to relate to. This can be especially true for younger generations who do not have the same long-term connection to a particular place. This is concerning during this era of late-stage capitalism, when the rapid pace of change too often results in a deterioration of the natural world. Michael shares his poem, Past, Present and Future, inspired by his experiences of solastalgia and shifting baseline syndrome. The poem can be read in full on the PGAP BLOG This episode also references an article that Michael wrote for “The Overpopulation Project: The Planet Cannot Hold the Weight of 8.2 billion Narratives. Here's Why…” Mark reads an extract from the sermon that was delivered at the recent Whittington Purse Service, an annual event held as part of the St Briavels Bread and Cheese Scramble at St Briavels Church, on the edge of the Forest of Dean. The sermon explicitly mentions the need to transcend the economic growth-based paradigm. To find out more about this ancient ritual, you can access the link HERE. NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard) is a largely derogatory term often used to describe residents who oppose development in their local area. More recently, it has often been used in contrast to YIMBYism (Yes In My Back Yard). This episode explores NIMBYism as a term and considers how its use can be counterproductive and inflammatory, as it can overlook the emotional connections people have with their neighbourhoods, as well as the social and environmental benefits they provide. Mark and Michael propose that the Retrosuburbia movement, championed by David Holmgren, offers a way to make our suburbs more adaptable while retaining the majority of existing, robust housing. David was interviewed for PGAP's first season, where he discusses Retrosuburbia in further detail - LINK HERE. PGAP invites all listeners to share their solastalgia stories/experiences with us.

Jim Daly and Pastor J.D. Greear explore how Christians can faithfully engage a polarized culture without losing sight of the gospel. Drawing from J.D.'s book Everyday Revolutionary, he challenges believers to avoid the twin errors of political disengagement and over-identifying Christian hope with political power. He explains the vital distinction between the mission of the church and the calling of individual Christians, urging the church to lead with grace and truth while remaining deeply rooted in community service.Everyday RevolutionaryBOOK: Buy your copy of Jim Daly’s book, ReFOCUS!

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,056, June 16, 2026. Today's theme is, "Nighttime Is the Right Time for Smartphone Photography" I'm Derrick Story. Smartphones are good at a lots of things. And they are really good at night photography. And when you want to escape the hot, contrasty glare of summer days, let the evening roll in, grab your phone, and go make some stunning pictures. I'll share my favorite tips for just that on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show. Camera. Go to Prioritize Faster Shooting and toggle it off. We want the best image quality possible. Next, learn how to turn on Night Mode Max by long-pressing the Moon icon at the top of the Camera app. This allows for a longer exposure, up to 30 seconds, depending on how steady the camera is. There is a tradeoff, however. In Night Mode the resolution is set to 12MP, even on new iPhones such as the 17 Pro. Techniques for Shooting in Night Mode Keep hands as steady as possible. Widen your stance and use two hands to grip the phone and keep them close to the body. Brace your body against a solid surface. Gently press the shutter button. Take multiple photos instead of just one. Then you can choose the best. Use the Main Camera (1X) because of fast aperture. Pro RAW + Night Mode for maximum edibility. One of the great things about nighttime photography with a smartphone is that you don't attract attention to yourself like you would using a mirrorless camera on a tripod. You can go about your business unnoticed and unbothered. Yet, you can come away with stunning shots. If you are in a situation where you feel comfortable setting up a tripod, then shooting in RAW with Night Mode Max can provide exposures up to 30 seconds with incredible detail and color. Night photography is a great way to separate your images from everyday snapshots. Whether you're exploring new territory on vacation, or just feeling like getting out in your hometown stomping grounds, these techniques will render your world in a whole different light.

Neil Shenvi, a Christian apologist, shares how Christians can faithfully engage an increasingly post-Christian culture with both truth and compassion. Drawing from Scripture and his own experience as a former non-Christian graduate student at University of California, Berkeley, Shenvi explains how believers can build meaningful relationships, lovingly point people to Christ, and avoid falling into self-righteousness or fear. The conversation explores the rise of critical theory and “wokeness,” tracing their roots to Marxist ideas about oppression and power, and discussing how concepts like equity, inclusion, and lived experience have been redefined in modern culture. Shenvi and Daly also address difficult cultural topics including gender ideology, preferred pronouns, racial narratives, and truth versus “poetic truth,” with grace and truth, standing on biblical truth while demonstrating Christlike love, especially toward family members, coworkers, and others who may strongly disagree with their beliefs. Get a copy of Neil's book, Post Woke: Asserting a Biblical Vision of Race, Gender, and Sexuality, for a gift of any amount.

Jim Daly speaks with author and ministry leader Denise Shick about how parents and church leaders can guide young people through today’s confusing conversations about gender and identity. Drawing from her deeply personal story—including the impact of her father’s gender transition during her childhood and her own season of gender confusion—Denise shares how cultural influences, social media, and shifting societal norms are shaping the next generation. With compassion and biblical clarity, she shares powerful redemption stories and offers practical encouragement for parents who want to talk honestly with their children about God’s design for male and female, while pointing young people toward the lasting hope, identity, and healing that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Ever felt life spin the other way mid-stroke? We dive into a powerful Akashic Energy theme—turnaround—and explore how to pivot with grace as the season shifts from Pisces to Aries and the equinox resets the sky.

That simple rhythm becomes a practice for mind, body, and spirit when plans change and expectations loosen their hold.We also share practical tools for closure, invite a creative circle mandala, and reframe rigid goals into flexible themes. Key themes include:• Akashic insight on reversals and circular movement• Equinox and astrological new year context• Letting go of rigid plans and expectations• Seeing change as part of the pattern, not failure• Closure practices for abrupt endings• Unsent letters, visualization, ritual burning• Circle mandala to map endings and beginnings• Shifting from fixed goals to guiding themes• Anchoring with breath, curiosity, and graceIf you're navigating detours, reroutes, or a full-on U-turn, this conversation will help you breathe, pivot, and find your lane again.

We weave psychology, spirituality, and creativity into tools that calm anxiety, clarify values, and help you ride the current with grace.From eclipses to retrograde ripples, we explore how cosmic cycles can mirror personal transitions and why your nervous system relaxes when you stop forcing neat endings to stories that are still unfolding.Creativity becomes the bridge that makes all of this usable. We offer simple, potent prompts: write a value-based mantra, create daily space for surrender, revisit a time you truly let go and map how you did it, and choose a color for surrender to cue calm in real time. Key themes include:• big, expansive energy framed as water and tide• eclipse and retrograde as cycle amplifiers• surrender as active trust over forced control• observer mind to ease anxiety and settle the nervous system• values as anchors and mantras for stability• befriending discomfort with compassionate parts work• creative prompts for writing, ritual, and color imagery• practical ways to create daily space to surrenderIf you're highly sensitive or empathic, these frameworks help you self-regulate without shrinking from growth.

What if your clearest path forward isn't a bigger dream, but a truer one? We explore “Dreaming Out Loud” as a practice of practical mysticism—pairing Pisces-season intuition with concrete steps that move life in a kinder, more intentional direction. Instead of chasing far-off fantasies, we focus on right-sized visions you can actually build, starting from where you are and honoring what's already in motion.We talk through how clarity is returning after weeks of deep self-care, why this moment feels more focused, and how to translate that focus into choices that matter. You'll get simple journal prompts to map three- and six-month visions, plus a method for turning each scene into one next right step. Along the way, we share a powerful reframe from the Akashic Records: you didn't fail—you evolved. Plans that keep changing aren't proof you're off track; they're signs you're syncing with real life, real people, and a collective timeline that's alive and shifting.Key points include: • weekly energy theme of practical mysticism• clarity returning after self-care and inner work• Pisces energy as interconnection and creativity• right-sized visions that fit current life• journal prompts for three and six months• focusing on next right step and traction• reframe from failure to evolving with others• syncing hearts and collective timing• Seven of Air: independence and soul sovereignty• affirmation for living on your own termsIf you're ready to write it down, speak it out, and let the universe meet you halfway, this conversation will help you set a course you can hold—light enough for grace, strong enough for progress.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review so more seekers can find the show.

When the world feels prickly and loud, we don't need sharper edges—we need steadier centers. This week, we open with an Akashic Energy Update that names the spiky charge many of us are sensing and offers a calm, practical path: extreme self-care that protects without hardening. We unpack why reactivity is running high, how to recognize when you're attaching to noise, and the simple checks that bring you back into your body and your values. The Queen of Fire anchors a turn from chaos to centered creativity, using turbulence as a metaphor for grounded presence during eclipse season. Key themes include:• extreme self-care as centered protection• choosing softness over reactivity• feelings as weather, not identity• turbulence metaphor for grounding• eclipse season shakeups and resets• Queen of Fire and creative sovereignty• values inventory and updated anchors• life as art and co-creationPress play to ground, soften, and spark your next chapter with intention.

The world may feel loud and unruly right now, but there's a quieter truth available: chaos can carry you toward deeper order when you choose your center. We open with the Akashic theme of rebalancing and a guiding line that frames the month ahead—where chaos leads the way, let inner peace reside—then translate that energy into practical, everyday choices that help you feel grounded, clear, and on-path.Astrology, eclipse timing, and the Four of Earth help us reassess foundations, release what isn't ours, and trust momentum that builds through steady action. Key points include:• anchor word of the week: rebalancing• chaos as creative raw material• macro to micro translation of energy• early eclipse season and lunar new year• momentum through slow, steady practice• curiosity over self-judgment when plans shift• value found in shadow, grief, and mess• journaling prompts for clarity and growth• tarot: Four of Earth on secure foundations• affirmations for trust, timing, and flowYou don't need to force what doesn't fit or cling to what wants to move. Trust the flow, release what isn't yours, and let timing work in your favor.
