In 2019 artist Daisy Campbell led 69 seekers on a pilgrimage from the Cerne Giant to CERN in Switzerland and back. Their intention? To ‘immanentise the eschaton.' David was there to see them off, dressed in a gold robe for a ritual to awaken the sleeping giant. Why did they do it? Did they succeed? What is the eschaton? Daisy shares the full adventure and the processes involved in creating a pilgrimage from scratch. We'll also meet scientist Rupert Sheldrake and Guy Hayward of the British Pilgrimage Trust to learn about more traditional forms of pilgrimage and why there has been such a huge resurgence of interest in them. https://druidry.org https://www.drbramwell.com/ https://www.thecockpit.org.uk/journeytonutopia https://www.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk/ https://the-mycelium.com/team/ https://www.sheldrake.org/ https://britishpilgrimage.org/
What makes people fall for conspiracy theories like QAnon? Is it possible to ‘change' our minds? Might the idea of reality tunnels be the single most important thing to teach the next generation? Counter-culture philosopher Robert Anton Wilson certainly thought so, as do our guests: authors John Higgs, Journey to Nutopia co-founder Michelle Olley and theatre director Daisy Campbell. With their help we'll reveal experiments to challenge our own belief systems, learn more about Robert Anton Wilson and discover why it's best to keep a set of false teeth in your back pocket. https://www.thecockpit.org.uk/journeytonutopia https://druidry.org https://www.drbramwell.com/ https://www.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk/ https://johnhiggs.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Olley https://the-mycelium.com/team/ https://www.monbiot.com/

Robin and Josie introduce the live panel held on Friday night at the 2016 Latitude where we asked the question, is art a spell? David Bowie's final work, visually and aurally, was some of the most potent of his career, made all the more so by his death three days after the release of Blackstar. His favourite books contained many on art, the occult and magick - so are the great creators shamanic… The panel, hosted by Robin, includes Daisy Campbell, Andrew O’Neill, John Constable and Hollie McNish.
