Jungtinių Valstijų prezidentas Donaldas Trumpas Versalio rūmuose Prancūzijoje pasirašė memorandumą dėl taikos su Iranu. Jį pasirašė ir Irano prezidentas. Apie šio susitarimo poveikį pasaulio ekonomikai – ekonomistė, Vytauto Didžiojo Universiteto Partnerystės profesorė Eglė Stonkutė.Ved. Andrius Kavaliauskas.

Jungtinės Valstijos ir Iranas susitarė dėl karo nutraukimo, skelbia JAV prezidentas Donaldas Trumpas ir sako: „Tegul nafta vėl teka laisvai.“ Nors Hormuzo sąsiauris vis dar uždarytas, rinkos žinią pasitiko optimistiškai, naftos kaina smuko. Tačiau pats taikos susitarimas dar labai trapus, o po galimo jo pasirašymo penktadienį laukia du sudėtingi mėnesiai derybų. Ką žinia apie šį taikos susitarimą reiškia pasauliui? Ar naftos krizė baigiasi?Laidoje dalyvauja Geopolitikos ir saugumo studijų centro vadovas Linas Kojala, „Orion securities“ investavimo vadovas, ekonomistas Marius Dubnikovas, Vilniaus universiteto profesorius dr. Tomas Janeliūnas, Seimo Užsienio reikalų komiteto pirmininkas Remigijus Motuzas.Ved. Justina Ilkevičiūtė.

Švietimo sistemos vadovai aiškinasi, kodėl šalies mokyklose vis dažniau pasitaiko smurto atvejų ir kaip juos suvaldyti. Dalis mokslininkų sako, kad siekiant užkardyti tokius protrūkius mokyklose, reikia tinkamai motyvuoti ten dirbančius psichologus. Pasak kitų specialistų, labai svarbu užtikrinti vaikų užimtumą po pamokų ir jų priežiūrą socialiniuose tinkluose.Kurį laiką kritusios, degalų kainos Lietuvoje vėl šoktelėjo iki dviejų eurų už litrą. Dar kol kas galioja Seimo įvestas sumažintas akcizas dyzelinui, situacija naftos rinkoje taip pat nebėra dramatiška, kokia buvo pavasario pradžioje, kai Amerika pradėjo kariauti su Iranu. Tad kodėl degalai vėl brangsta?Mažinant žmonių su negalia automobilių parkavimo kortelių klastojimo mastą, valstybės institucijos siūlo arba sugriežtinti jų naudojimo kontrolę, arba naikinti galimybę parkuotis nemokamai. Nes aiškėja, kad miestuose kortelių tikrumo ir galiojimo niekas netikrina, tad automobilius neįgaliųjų vietose stato kas nori.Latvijoje gegužės pradžioje įskridę dronai nuvertė šalies Vyriausybę. Pasirengimas tokioms provokacijoms buvo patikrintas ir Estijoje bei Lietuvoje. Oficialiai teigiama, kad tai buvo į taikinius rusijoje skridę, bet paklydę ukrainietiški dronai, tačiau kai kurie dronų specialistai neatmeta, kad aparatai galėjo būti rusijos pusės tyčia suklaidinti ir nukreipti į Baltijos valstybes. Kaip jos pasirengusios tokiems atvejams, kokias išvadas pasidarė ir ar jaučia Europos Sąjungos bei NATO palaikymą?Lietuvoje šiandien minimas Tautadienis. Tai iniciatyva, skatinanti šią dieną vilkėti, segėti ar kitaip aprangą papuošti kažkokiu tautiniu ženklu, apranga ar drabužiu.Ved. Liuda Kudinova

Penktadienį (balandžio 10 d.) laidoje Tiek Pinigų su vedėja Simona išgirsite žinias apie S.Skvernelio teisinės neliečiamybės panaikinimą ir kur bei kodėl parlamentaras vadintas Krabu.

Lietuvos bankas sako, kad dėl brangstančių degalų Lietuvos ekonomika augs lėčiau, o infliacija bus beveik dvigubai didesnė nei prognozuota. Naftos produktų verslininkai sako, kad kainų smūgį sumažintų dalinis akcizų grąžinimas vežėjams.Prezidentas Donaldas Trumpas iš Baltųjų rūmų kreipėsi į amerikiečius dėl karo su Iranu. Tiesiogiai transliuotoje kalboje jis pareiškė, kad Jungtinės Valstijos artėja prie strateginių tikslų įgyvendinimo, tai yra Irano karinio potencialo sunaikinimo. Prezidentas taip pat nurodė, kad smūgiai prieš Iraną gali tęstis dar dvi tris savaites. Kalbėdamas apie benzino kainas, kurios pakilo ir Amerikoje, Trampas paragino šalis, gaunančias naftą per Hormuzo sąsiaurį, pačioms imtis veiksmų užtikrinant jo atvėrimą.Pasaulis su nerimu pasitiko Donaldo Trampo kalbą. Akcijų biržų įverčiai tiek Azijoje, tiek Europoje nėrė žemyn, tuo metu naftos kaina brango beveik 9 procentais. Azijoje, kur padėtis sunkiausia, Pietų Korėjos prezidentas pareiškė, kad ekonomika veikia karo meto sąlygomis. Tuo metu tarptautinės energetikso agentūros galva sako, kad kuro ir degalų stygius balandį bus gerokai sudėtingesnis nei kovą.Vyriausioji rinkimų komisija politinėms partijoms paskirstė šių metų pirmojo pusmečio dotacijas iš valstybės biudžeto. Dešimčiai partijų padalinta pustrečio milijono eurų. Nemuno aušrai nuspręsta dotacijos neskirti.

Nors tradiciniai Kūčių ir Kalėdų stalo patiekalai šiemet gerokai pabrango, lietuviai šventinių tradicijų neatsisakė. Žemės ūkio duomenų centro Rinkos informacijos ir ekonominės analizės skyriaus vadovė dr. Irma Jankauskienė teigia, kad žuvis brango trečdaliu, silkė – daugiau nei 70 procentų, o balta mišrainė tapo tikra aliejaus kainų įkaite.

I'm thrilled to announce that Riane Eisler will be a teacher on our online course New Ways of Knowing which begins on January 14. As a Christmas gift, we're offering five 20% off vouchers with the code Chalice at checkout.

We'll switch it into the name of the recipient, and schedule an email to the recipient on Christmas Day …or Christmas Eve for our European readers.In 1938, seven-year-old Riane Eisler watched as Gestapo soldiers threw her father down a flight of stairs. It looked like her worst nightmares were about to come true, but then her mother stood up to the Nazis and saved her father. Miraculously, her family survived Kristallnacht and fled to Cuba.Much later, the two poles of the humanity she witnessed that night would lead to a career as a pioneering social scientist. How can it be, she wondered, that human beings can be such monsters and such angels? Is it inevitable for society to be controlled by the most violent and ruthless among us, or is there another paradigm at our fingertips?After training as systems theorist and an attorney, Eisler would go on to author nearly a dozen books, including The Chalice and the Blade in 1987, which became an international sensation and sold half a million copies.The book takes readers back into pre-history to argue that before the rise of ‘might is right' dominator cultures, many groups of humans lived in what Eisler calls ‘partnership societies.' Men and women worked together rather than against one another. Children were raised by communities instead of atomised family units. The gap between what we now call rich and poor was far smaller. Some lasted for 1000 years. These societies weren't perfect, and Eisler doesn't argue that we should fetishes them or try to return to them. Instead, she presents them as an example of an eternal truth that could well save humanity:It doesn't have to be this way.I first read The Chalice and the Blade when I was in my early twenties, after coming across Eisler's work through a series she recorded with Terence McKenna called Man and Woman at the End of History, which I listened to on repeat.Eisler expanded on the fundamental thesis of The Chalice and the Blade over the next three decades, particularly in her 2007 book The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economy and 2019's Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future co-authored with neuroscientist Douglas P. Fry, both of which we discuss in more detail in our interview.It's a real honour to be publishing this, and it's one of my favourite conversations in years. It reminded me of what I first felt reading The Chalice and the Blade, namely that Eisler's work points to the same truth that psychedelic experiences so often remind us of: we're creating much of our own experience. Our lives are contextual and changeable based on how we are socialised, how we think, and the choices we make. We are also, as I argued in Listen to the Land, in deep relationship with geographical and social forces that shape us beyond our control. Even so, human culture, more than any other aspect of reality we encounter in our short time on earth, may be the most malleable, fluid, contextual and alive. Because of that, it's what we can change most fundamentally in our lifetimes. We have the capacity for tremendous agency in response to our environment.That's why extractive capitalism isn't inevitable. It's why weak, narcissistic leaders aren't inevitable. It's why AI superintelligence isn't inevitable. As I've explored on Kainos since we launched at the beginning of the year, particularly in our first documentary Leviathan, the dominator model is reaching the limit of what it can extract, control and mimic. As its emptiness is revealed to more and more people, a space is opening for something new. A kind of society that has never existed before.One step toward getting there is moving beyond meaningless double binds. Polarity certainly isn't meaningless, but we've become tangled in shallow polarities that take us nowhere. Left vs Right. Good vs Bad. Spirit vs Science. What I find so powerful about Eisler's work is that it points to the polarity beneath so many others we wrestle with day to day: domination and partnership.Will we try to dominate reality, or work in relationship with it? Will we try to force our children to be how we think they should be, or respect their essential expression and evolution? Will we try to overlay our ideologies onto reality in exchange for a fleeting sense of control, or accept that the only real control arises when we let go?Eisler has written extensively on economics and politics, because this is where we see the ugliest expression of domination and our perpetual fight against it. Today, there is a growing recognition in the political sphere that the old distinction of left and right is largely meaningless. The Political Compass model, which maps political leanings against degrees of authoritarianism or freedom rather than fixed ideological points, is an example of this shift. Eisler pioneered this kind of thinking decades ago, and her work is more relevant today than it has ever been. It ties in directly to a lot of the topics we've explored on Kainos, including the woke left swinging to the woke right, the rise of authoritarianism, the domination of technocracy and the resistance against it.As I've argued, we can't understand the ‘high weirdness' and intensity of this era without understanding the deeper psycho-spiritual drivers powering it. Eisler's work points to these, touching on something much deeper at play than political disagreement. It's something similar to what I explored in Life's a Game and the Bad Guys are Winning.Our social dynamics are an expression of our relationship to reality. Our ‘us and them' politics is an expression of a deeper wound of ‘me and it'. It's a twisted projection born from the agony of the question: “Do I really belong here?”“Am I part of reality, or a stranger with no power? Am I beautiful, or am I worthless?” If we feel we're strangers in an alien and uncaring cosmos, we're left with little choice but to fill the unbearable gap where belonging resides. We have to try and control what can't be controlled, and if that's what we're doing then domination or weaponised victimhood are both viable strategies.But they lead us nowhere, because they are based on illusion. In reality, we're all part of everything. An idea encapsulated in the Sanskrit phrase, Tat Tvam Asi.You are it. When we stop being strangers in a hostile world, and become interdependent with all its drama and glory, we tend to show up very differently.Between those poles of domination and partnership, connection and separation, there are layers and layers of nuance that we need to explore to move into new paradigms in economics, society and spirituality. Riane and I explored some of these topics in this film, and we'll keep the conversation going in New Ways of Knowing in January. This is a public episode.

Alexander Beiner joins Psychedelics Today to explore how psychedelics, culture, and power shape each other. A writer, facilitator, and co founder of the conference Breaking Convention and the media platform KAINOS, he has spent years thinking about how psychedelic experiences ripple into politics, economics, conflict, and community. In this episode, he and Joe trace the path from early internet forums to today's psychedelic renaissance, and ask what it would mean to bring a truly psychedelic perspective into our institutions. Beiner is less interested in psychedelics as a niche medical tool and more interested in how they can help us see through destructive cultural "games," reconnect to our bodies, and relate across deep divides. Early themes with Alexander Beiner The conversation starts with Beiner's origin story. He describes formative psychedelic experiences as a teenager, and how early access to thinkers like Terence McKenna, Timothy Leary, and the Shulgins led him onto the Grow Report forum and its associated podcasts. From there he launched his own visionary art podcast and eventually co founded Rebel Wisdom, where he focused more broadly on culture, systems, and meaning rather than only on psychedelics. He explains that most of his writing has not been about psychedelic substances, but about a "psychedelic approach" to reality. That means paying attention to complexity, paradox, and relationship, and asking what a psychedelic form of education, politics, or media might look like. He also touches on his documentary "Leviathan," which looks at breakdowns of trust, disembodiment, and the social forces that pull us away from what is real and relational. Core insights from this conversation In the middle of the episode, the discussion moves into concrete tensions in the current psychedelic resurgence. Topics include: How medicalization can both help and constrain access Cognitive liberty and the right to alter one's own consciousness Psychedelic capitalism and the "Moloch" problem of destructive competitive games The risks and potential of psychedelic religions and new spiritual communities Beiner highlights work on ayahuasca circles for Israelis and Palestinians, noting how "we are all one" language can sometimes block necessary truth telling about power and harm. He returns often to embodiment as a key corrective. When people slow down, feel their bodies, and notice what is actually happening in their nervous systems, they can hold disagreement without dehumanizing each other. He also points to emerging work on psychedelics for creativity and problem solving, including stories where psychedelic insights contributed to breakthroughs in science and complex systems thinking. For him, this is one of the most exciting frontiers, because it shifts the story from "fixing a deficit" to "creating something new." Later discussion and takeaways with Alexander Beiner Later in the episode, Alexander Beiner and Joe talk about cult dynamics, religious freedom, and the need for better checks and balances in emerging psychedelic communities. Beiner stresses that humans are naturally drawn into strong groups and narratives, so the key is not to eliminate "cults" but to spot harmful patterns early and build better accountability. They explore how double binds and mixed messages can create mental distress, and how psychedelics can sometimes resolve these binds by adding new context and perspectives. From there, the conversation turns to third spaces, communitas, and the urgent need for more embodied, in person culture beyond screens, work, and home. Practical takeaways include: Work with psychedelics in ways that reconnect you to your body, not just your ideas Treat medicalization as one path among many, not the only legitimate route Pay attention to group dynamics, power, and accountability in any psychedelic setting Look for ways to bring "psychedelic virtues" like flexibility, curiosity, and compassion into your workplace, family, and community Frequently Asked Questions Who is Alexander Beiner? Alexander Beiner is a writer, facilitator, and co founder of the psychedelic conference Breaking Convention and the media platform Kinos. His work focuses on culture, systems, and how psychedelic perspectives can reshape society. What is Alexander Beiner's book about? His recent book (discussed in this episode) looks at how psychedelics interact with politics, capitalism, and culture, and asks whether they can help us navigate multiple crises without getting captured by the same destructive games. How does Alexander Beiner view psychedelic medicalization? He sees medicalization as useful but limited. He supports access for people who need it, but worries that a purely medical frame reinforces class divides and hands too much power to psychiatry, instead of centering cognitive liberty and community based use. What is Leviathan in Alexander Beiner's work? "Leviathan" is his documentary on the breakdown of trust, disembodiment, and large scale systems that pull us away from what is real and relational. It connects mythic images, embodiment, and modern crises of meaning. What is Kinos and how does it relate to Alexander Beiner? KAINOS is Beiner's Substack based media platform, focused on surfacing novel perspectives and stories about culture, psychedelics, and the future. It extends many of the themes explored in this episode. This episode places Alexander Beiner within the wider psychedelic resurgence as a voice linking inner work to outer systems. For clinicians, researchers, and community members, it offers a rich invitation to think beyond individual healing and ask how psychedelic perspectives might help us transform the cultural games we are playing.

We are joined by Alexander Beiner, current founder of Kainos and former co-founder of Rebel Wisdom, to grapple with that eternally slippery concept: sensemaking. Naturally, this leads us through interdisciplinary adventurism, reflections on the (il)legitimacy of academia, and the recurring “meaning crisis” that haunts our times. Sense will be made, unmade, and possibly reinvented along the way.LinksAlexander's Substack: KainosAlexander's recent documentary: LeviathanOur original episode that mentions KainosA related discussion we had a while back on the StoaOur previous episode with Jamie Wheal

I recently recorded a conversation with writer and philosopher Mark Vernon about his new book Awake!: William Blake and the Power of the Imagination. I enjoyed the book and our conversation a lot, coming away from both with new ideas on how we can imbue culture with visionary imagination, and why Blake's genius is more important than ever. Mark holds a PhD in ancient philosophy, and our conversation covered a lot of ground, including Gnosticism, non-duality and the confused state of spirituality today. You can watch it here on Substack, on the Kainos YouTube, or listen to the audio on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Mark has also provided a short excerpt from Awake! below, which ties Blake's ideas together with some of the themes we've surfaced on Kainos, pointing to a surprising synthesis between animism and individualism.As Kainos grows, we're going to start using different channels for different types of content, including video essays and interviews which you'll only find on our YouTube and Instagram. We'll use Substack primarily for written pieces, so subscribe on our other channels to stay up to date.

However, Indigenous epistemologies also present challenges because they developed before the modern sense of freedom that brings goods, such as the liberty of the individual. The question, then, is whether older ways of knowing can marry newer understandings of the self in order to bring transformed possibilities for the future. William Blake, who knew of Indigenous epistemologies that were discussed in Georgian England, can aid us in this imaginative task. “Indigenous peoples live in relational worldviews,” Melissa Nelson told me. A professor at Arizona State University, whose heritage includes Anishinaabe, Cree, Métis and Norwegian, she researches and preserves the rituals and myths around which Indigenous ways of life are structured. These patterns of organisation are partly practical but hold intelligence, too, joining skills with a lived awareness of the more-than-human.“There is a nurturing quality to the universe that is for us like a natural law, a universal principle that we can tap into: this field of love that is the matrix of the universe,” Nelson continues. Indigenous knowledge therefore invites us to consider the possibility of participating in the world not from assumptions of difference and isolation, but difference and communion.The poetry and insights of William Blake can help us in that imaginative task, which is necessarily not one of adoption but adaption and transformation. For he takes the insights a step further. His aim is to incorporate the freedoms inherent in the western worldview, too.When learning again to discourse with Nature's powers, a new revelation might become clear. The restored sacred aspect not only re-enchants the world but, when conversing with the subjectivities of “Each rock & each hill, Each fountain & rill, Each herb & each tree, Mountain, hill, Earth & Sea,” as Blake put it, there can be detected something else. Speaking, too, is the eternal source of all transient things: a third, eternal divine dimension.We can be alerted not just to other presences but a shared ground of being and source of all vitality. To recall Blake's famous phrase: when the doors of perception are cleansed, everything appears not myriad but infinite—the infinite being the one fount of “Each grain of Sand, Every Stone on the Land, Cloud, Meteor & Star.” Heaven is indeed in a wildflower, eternity is indeed in love with the productions of time, because heaven is in the flower, eternity is in the events of time.Blake advises us to enter the transcendent dimension within the immanent world via our imaginations, with words, through the arts, in the sciences. He shows how to make these disciplines a “Fiery Chariot of Contemplative Thought” that can enable us to make “a Friend & Companion of one of these Images of wonder.”In short, Mother Nature does not treat the natural world as her personal fiefdom because what she tends exists at a threshold to the All. “The Vegetable Universe,” Blake explains, meaning the world as seen biologically, “opens like a flower from the Earth's center: In which is Eternity. It expands in Stars to the Mundane Shell [the sky's dome]; And there it meets Eternity again, both within and without.” Any finite thing reflects, in some manner or mode, an aspect of the infinite and Blake invites us to consider how Nature always displays more than a kaleidoscope of colour and tumble of activity. When imaginatively speaking with “Rock, Cloud, Mountain”, there can also be felt moving “the Spirit which Lives Eternally.”The divine aspect, implicit in every exchange or encounter, helps foster the shift from possessing to participating, from grasping to communion, because with that larger awareness we are freed from feeling self-concerned, knowing that our life too is held. Thereby, the modern sense of individual liberty is valued and also transformed: the right to personal choice becomes a virtue of mutual self-giving generosity.That awakening might be said to happen in two stages. First, our reception of the world around us is transformed from self-centredness to other-centredness. An example might be what happens when, say, at dusk, a shadowy shape on the roadside turns out to be not a threat but a shrub. In that moment, there is release from self-concerned fear, enabled by self-forgetting attention. Then, that relief might prompt a second stage: a realisation. The shrub shares my path literally and metaphorically, having embarked on a life course, too, and also shares a common wellspring: in a word, God. The awakening is one reason Blake remarked, “A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.”The unfolding liberty maintains one of the great gains of the western worldview, the chance to develop one's individuality, now known around a divine core, whilst also inspiring a totally changed attitude to transient life. Blake expressed this in the beautiful quatrain entitled “Eternity”.“He who binds to himself a joyDoes the winged life destroy;He who kisses the joy as it fliesLives in eternity's sun rise.”“Kissing the joy as it flies” is a selfless but individual stance of attention. It takes delight in what passes because that participates with us in the timelessness of all things. The result is that, when enjoyed without possessiveness, the All becomes present. Each becomes part of the one, reflecting the whole in as many refractions. This vision is Blake's promise. This is a public episode.

AICON will look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping key industries and society now and in future AICON is back for its seventh year, reaffirming its position as the largest and most influential AI conference in Ireland. As AI is increasingly adopted in all aspects of life, the two-day conference will draw together technologists with business leaders and researchers, to show how getting to grips with AI can help businesses achieve further success and growth. AICON Belfast 2025 will return on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 October 2025, with events taking place across two of the city's most iconic venues. AICON returns to Belfast October, 2nd to 3rd Day one, hosted at Titanic Belfast, will set the stage with high-profile keynotes, panel discussions, and networking opportunities showcasing how AI is reshaping industries and society. Dr. Stephen Spinelli Jr., President of Babson College, will deliver the keynote address, highlighting how entrepreneurship education can restore stability in a turbulent world. He will explore how artificial intelligence can amplify Entrepreneurial Thought & Action, driving solutions at scale. The conference will once again feature its signature 'twin-track' format, with two programmes running in parallel: AI Now and AI Next. AI Now will explore the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, with a strong focus on practical takeaways. Sessions will provide actionable insights and best practices for adopting AI in a safe, transparent and accountable way. A feature of the AI Now track includes a keynote panel AI Across the Globe - Transforming Industry with AI will feature Ruth McGuiness, Kainos, Lyndsay Shields, Danske Bank UK, and Rachel Bland, NHBC, exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries worldwide. AI Next will look to the future of artificial intelligence, offering visionary perspectives on its potential to transform both society and the economy. This track will explore the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead as AI continues to evolve. Among the highlights is a fireside chat, Reimagining Business: AI, Leadership, and the Future of Organisational Transformation, featuring Gareth Workman, Kainos, and Dr Stephen McKeown, Allstate. Drawing on McKeown's experience driving digital transformation at Allstate, the session will examine how AI is reshaping business models, workforce dynamics, and leadership. Speaking ahead of the conference Gareth Workman Chief AI Officer at Kainos said: "AI is no longer optional - it's becoming the foundation of how value is created and how society expects to engage. At Kainos, we believe the opportunity lies not just in adopting AI, but in shaping an AI-native future that is trusted, responsible, and human-centric. "Conferences like AICON are vital because they bring together industry, academia, and government to share lessons, confront challenges, and unlock new opportunities. By working together, we can ensure AI delivers real value - transforming what matters most for businesses, people, and society." On Friday 3 October, the conference will move to W5 Belfast. Hosted by the AI Collaboration Centre (AICC), this day will offer a deeper dive into academic breakthroughs, cross-sector collaboration, and emerging technologies driving progress across healthcare, fintech, manufacturing, and beyond. Michaela Black, Principal Investigator at AICC added: "AICON 2025 is about looking beyond the hype to see where artificial intelligence is truly taking us. For Northern Ireland, it's an opportunity to show how a small region can punch above its weight on the global stage, not just adopting AI, but shaping how it's used responsibly and for the benefit of society. "The Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre exists to bridge industry, academia, research and government and AICON is where those worlds come together to imagine the future and start building it today. We're especially proud to be hosting Day 2 of the event on 3rd October at W5 Be...

The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.

How do we shed the shackles of modernity and step into a new set of stories that could help us grow into the fullness of our potential? Alexander Beiner is one of a small band of people in our culture who is shaping the cutting edge of possibility, crafting new ideas of who we are, at the deepest levels of our Self and out into the widest view of our place as conscious nodes in the web of life. Ali is an author, journalist and facilitator focused on bringing new ways of seeing and being from the margins of culture into the mainstream, through writing, and by creating transformative experiences that invite us to find ways to evolve and thrive in the chaotic times we live in. He's the author of The Bigger Picture: How psychedelics can help us make sense of the world that details his part in a psychedelic clinical trial that took him deep into what it is to be human and he has recently launched Kainos, an alternative media platform and studio on both Substack and YouTube. He says of it, 'in an age of upheaval, we tell stories that help people make sense of the world and imagine new futures. Our films, articles and experiences combine cultural sensemaking with hope, imagination and impact.'He's an executive director of Breaking Convention, Europe's longest-running conference on psychedelic medicine and culture and was also one of the founders of Rebel Wisdom, which ran from 2017-2022 and explored the cutting-edge of systems change and cultural sensemaking. This is where we need to be: the edge place where spirituality meets psychology and mythology, where culture meets politics meets our desperate yearning to grow up and become the good enough ancestors we know we can be.  We need path-finders, people who have the courage to stretch out beyond the edges of our being and Alexander is so clearly one of these - his explorations of what makes us human in the psychedelic realm merge with his documentary making and Kainos takes up where Rebel Wisdom left off, delving deeply into the nature of the moment and how we might become more than we are.  This was a genuinely inspiring conversation in a series that I hope is helping you to make sense of these times, to accept that the old system is gone and that something truly generative could arise - if we all take part in its making.  Alexander Beiner website https://www.alexanderbeiner.com/Kainos on Substack https://beiner.substack.com/Alexander on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-beiner-b9aa8b19/Kainos on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@StudioKainosBooks mentionedOf Water and the Spirit by Malidoma Some The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker

At a special event in Belfast last night, Joe Kennedy III, US Special Envoy to Northern Ireland for Economic Affairs, announced that applications are now open for Connect to Success (C2S) a programme powered and implemented by Ulster University. This initiative aims to empower women entrepreneurs, bolster the regional economy, and advance gender equality in Northern Ireland. C2S sets itself apart from other women's entrepreneurial programmes in Northern Ireland by offering selected WOBs unparalleled access to global corporations and their international networks, a comprehensive team-based mentoring approach, and a targeted focus on women-owned businesses (WOBs) in the scale-up phase. C2S pairs 10-15 WOBS with teams of executives from some of the world's top multinational corporations. These mentoring teams will provide expert guidance to help shape and implement the long-term business and leadership strategies of the participating WOBs. The year-long mentoring program is scheduled to commence in January 2025. C2S's mentoring champions include industry giants such as Aflac, AIG, Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs, Google, Irish Life Group, Kainos, KPMG, PwC, Seagate, and Stripe, Inc. Additional supporters of the C2S initiative include AwakenAngels, Catalyst, Cliste Hospitality, Endeavor Ireland, Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce, Ormeau Labs, and Ulster Bank. Joe Kennedy III, US Special Envoy to Northern Ireland for Economic Affairs, said: "Empowering women in business isn't just a local effort; it's a global game-changer. Whether it's in Belfast or in Boston, we need more women-led enterprises and more female investors. By championing women entrepreneurs, Connect To Success, Ulster University, and their partner companies are igniting economic growth, driving social progress, and paving the way for a more inclusive and prosperous Northern Ireland." Kim Sawyer, Executive Director of Connect to Success, said: "This initiative goes beyond business growth; it's about empowering women, fostering cross-community collaboration, and breaking down barriers that have traditionally limited women's access to capital, markets, and networking. By connecting women entrepreneurs with mentors from some of the world's most successful companies, we aim to equip them with the skills, connections, and confidence needed to elevate their businesses and pay forward the opportunities they've received. "Moreover, the program offers C2S mentors from global corporations a unique perspective on the entrepreneurial mindset of SMEs, enriching their understanding of agility, innovation, and risk-taking. This experience not only sharpens their leadership abilities but also sparks creative thinking and opens doors to new partnerships and ventures." Ulster University Vice Chancellor Professor Paul Bartholomew added: "Connect to Success will play a key role in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, in a specific area critical to both economic growth and gender equality - supporting female entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses. At Ulster University, we are active and vocal champions of the development of female entrepreneurship and are deeply committed to helping women build and scale successful businesses. In partnership with Connect to Success, we can create a future where women-owned businesses are at the forefront of innovation, corporate success and regional economic prosperity. Highly rewarding and life changing experience New to Northern Ireland, C2SNI follows C2SPortugal, which supported over 1,100 women-owned businesses via 128 corporate mentoring teams from leading global companies, with mentoring from companies including L'Oréal, McDonalds, Microsoft and Nestlé.

Microsoft has revealed that Ruth McGuinness, Head of Data and AI at Kainos, headquartered in Belfast has won the Microsoft Power Women Award 2024 in Ireland. The Microsoft Power Women Awards are part of Microsoft's ongoing commitment to inspire, promote and invest in a new generation of women tech talent. The awards shine a spotlight on some of the amazing women spearheading greater diversity and inclusion throughout the Microsoft Partner network. In the second year of the awards, the programme expanded its reach covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with nearly 400 applications from exceptional women who have made significant contributions to technology, and diversity and inclusion. McGuinness is a prominent leader in the field of AI, overseeing one of Ireland's largest AI teams with 150 members generating millions of pounds annually through delivery of AI technology programmes in both public and private sector organisations across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and North America. Her focus includes developing AI tooling that is robust, explainable, and trustworthy and advocating for ethical AI adoption. Passionate about bridging the gap between academic research and industry, McGuinness is also the primary industry partner of the AI Research Centre (AIRC) at Ulster University, supporting 100+ AI researchers in trusted AI applications. She also supports the development of more diverse AI talent as a curator of AI CON, Ireland's largest annual AI conference, while being a strong advocate for the robust regulation of AI across other public forums, both local and international. Accepting the award, Ruth McGuinness said, "I'm very grateful to Microsoft Ireland for honouring me with this prestigious award. It is humbling to be included among such an incredible and inspiring cohort of powerhouse women in the Microsoft ecosystem across Western Europe. "I also welcome the opportunity of accepting an award for my career during a period of extended maternity leave with my second child - it's great to see how much progress has been made in terms of gender equity despite how much more we need to achieve! "Women face a multitude of barriers when trying to have children and a career. While we know that only 26% of technology roles are held by women, further data shows that women often then depart those technology careers at this important stage in their lives, due to inadequate parental leave benefits, expensive childcare systems and a lack of access to good quality flexible working. "The IT industry needs to continue to do more, to not only attract, but also to retain young women, through ensuring job roles come with an inclusive culture, flexible working hours, flexible roles, equity and fairness. "I feel passionately about the mantra that "you can't be what you can't see" and believe that elevating diverse role models for women - such as through Microsoft's Power Women Award - plays an incredibly important role in empowering others coming into the industry" - said Ruth McGuinness, Head of Data and AI at Kainos. McGuinness will join the other 18 winners at the Microsoft Women's Leadership Program 2nd Edition, a customised programme developed by Professor Jennifer Petriglieri at the INSEAD Business School in Fontainebleau, France.

When the church pursues ethnic unity, the Enemy usually sends obstacles to try to stand in the way. In this teaching, Pastor J.D. shows us that the effort and commitment needed to achieve ethnic unity are undoubtedly well worth it.

Pastor J.D. Greear leads us through a beautiful passage in Ephesians 2 that speaks to the power of Jesus' death and resurrection to do what we could not: break down the wall of hostility between us.

This is one of the most powerful KAINOS concepts - we are called to redeem time, engage time, shape time, using it to create reality to the Blueprint of Love. Space-time responds to consciousness. We are made to co-create the future with Joy! Want to join the LIVE ZOOM and see other videos? Sign up on PATREON -www.patreon.com/justinpaulabrahamLike to see more of what we do?

As we begin our series on ethnic unity, Pastor J.D. leads us through a beautiful passage in Ephesians 2 that speaks to the power of Jesus' death and resurrection to do what we could not: break down the wall of hostility between us. Rather than being a distraction from the gospel and from our pursuit of the Great Commission, we'll learn why ethnic unity is actually essential to these things. Despite the obstacles that often stand in our way, the effort and commitment needed to achieve ethnic unity are undoubtedly well worth it.
