Eleanor shares her experiences and reflections on working closely with social movement activists for over 20 years. She lives in a Catalonian mountain village, where the Ulex Project she works for runs training and capacity-building events for a wide range of social movements. Eleanor reflects on the changes she has witnessed in social movement activists over time, such as how the hope for big social change has decreased due to the poly-crisis and complexity of the world's challenges. Simon and Eleanor discuss how the ideology of neo-liberalism presents itself as TINA, ‘there is no alternative', which has been very effective in reducing expectations and diminishing the hope of change. Activists need to sustain and energise themselves, and Eleanor shares how Buddhism has helped her decenter her individualism, and expand her relationality to all beings. She shares how rock climbing provides her best leadership model, as when climbing there is total reliance on the leadership-followership relationship, and how the best plans get undone usually by nature intervening, forcing an emergent mindset. Bio Eleanor Moore is part of the Ulex Project core team that provides pan-European capacity-building support for social movements. Her role bridges facilitation, developing partnerships, governance, strategy, and programme evaluation. She is embedded in practices of distributed leadership, solidarity economy, and mutual care—a daily exploration of prefiguration. Before Ulex, Eleanor spent 10 years working across diverse social projects in the UK, such as housing, legal, and horticultural projects. These experiences and an immersion in critical theory in her early 20s led to an ongoing life exploration of the connections between the personal, the interpersonal, the socio-political, and the ecological. A climber of many years, she finds respite, sanctuary, and sense-making on high exposed ledges, hanging out with lichen and vultures, and connecting with the perspectives of the non-human world.
Bernard became aware at a very young age that the world was not entirely as it appeared. Some of that awareness was because of nightmarish events he had as a UFO abductee. These abductions started for him at a very young age and continued well into the first few decades of his life. Initially his childhood fear was that he was insane and he therefore tried to suppress all memory of it. It felt much more important to fit in, have friends and to be accepted. However, later as an adult he realized that these experiences were, in fact gifts that came to him too early to comprehend in his young life. In the relative safety of his early twenties he began to observe the physical world around him for any clues that would make sense of those early experiences. He found himself drawn to people with particular physical difficulties and anomalies. His observations subsequently led him to identify patterns that would reveal histories of both emotional and spiritual trauma. Additionally he found that he could intuit a person's issues across the street then at great distances as if they were right in front of him. This ability led him to question commonly held beliefs about time, space and our assumptions about illnesses and disabilities. He started to amass a body of observations that still seemed out-of-step with the world he found himself in. He felt like a foreigner on the planet. In his mid-twenties he entered the world of advertising and stayed immersed there for a period of almost twenty years. However, in 1988 life and eventually his calling proceeded to wake him up. He was introduced first to traditional Reiki then to a very gifted healer, the late Eleanor Moore, in New Hampshire. Eleanor's experiences with UFO's and healing in particular served to confirm his own experiences and awareness. He finally felt that his early life's experiences had been ratified. He hadn't been crazy after all. His thirst for further understanding led him to Shamanism in 1989. Bernard's formal introduction was with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. During the second course with the Foundation, he recognized that he had been seeing and journeying since very early childhood, but had managed to suppress it as white noise, mostly out of that fear of insanity. Subsequent to this revelation, there followed a trip of self-discovery to witness the work of Shamen in Ecuador in 1995. Though choosing not to be a participant in the use of a sacred psycho-tropic drug available during that journey, he soon realized that he was having the same visions and experiences which were occurring to others who had ingested the drug. It was a revelation. For him, clearly, these altered state journeys were available without the use of drugs and that he could easily envision other people's dreams and experiences at will. In 1992, Bernard left advertising and started to teach and to share his knowledge with others. He now teaches only a few times a year but because of his abilities he is able to conduct his individual healing sessions by telephone with anyone in the world through any period of history. He currently resides in a small town in Canada in the province of Ontario.
