We've known for decades that the 'Yell, Tell and Sell' strategy of belittling people, endeavouring to cajole—or shame—them into some kind of change doesn't work - in fact it can't work. It's not how we're wired. Cognitive neuroscience has been telling us this for decades but it's only recently that people have begun to listen. One of those who has been speaking in the wilderness for a long time—and is now finally being heard—is this week's guest, Renée Lertzman. Dr. Renée Lertzman is a researcher, advisor and strategist who translates relational psychology to change our approach to our planetary crisis. Applying her graduate training as a psychosocial researcher, she designs frameworks and methods, grounded in public health, clinical psychology and neurosciences, that guide people to take action and create impact on climate and sustainability issues. Over the past two decades, Renée has worked with global leaders, startups, governments, and mission-driven companies—including Google, IKEA, the California Academy of Sciences, and WWF—helping them navigate the emotional complexities of climate engagement. She's also the founder of Project InsideOut, an initiative that equips changemakers with psychologically grounded resources for collective transformation.This is the key to our survival. We need to learn how to engage ourselves and each other in ways that will transform ourselves and each other. We need to bring serious emotional literacy to the table so that we can create the containers, and attune to the anxieties and aspirations of people around us. We need, above all, to equip people to make sustained and sustainable change. This is the core of Renée's work and hearing her talk about it in depth is the first step to making it happen.

Are relationship structures intended by the Cosmos to be one size fits all? Or do variations actually serve the evolution of love? In this wildly intimate and emotional revelation, we share the story of how the sacred union with my wife Vylana expanded to include our beloved Alana Beale. This is not a prescription, it is a description of what has worked for us to allow us to live a life of radical commitment, and total freedom. Dr. Marc Gafni, our esteemed teacher joins us to discuss the philosophical underpinnings behind this evolution of love, that we hope will expand the boundaries of what is possible.

Welcome to Meaning-Making 101 where we explore the crisis of meaning in our world today, and how we may help usher in an awakening from it.In this episode we continue our investigation of metamodern spirituality, a proposed solution to the meta-crisis (term for the myriad existential crises facing our species). Metamodern spirituality can be defined as an approach to spiritual practice that highlights a "return to the sacred" in a way that feels authentic in our fragmented, post-secular world, blending traditional wisdom with modern insights to foster a deeper, more adaptive sense of purpose and transcendence.Stay Tuned! Following the intro to metamodern spirituality we will take a look at some of the Good News you may have missed this week in our GOOD NEWS ROUNDUP!Join us as we consider how we may cultivate the wisdom to see beyond the narrowness of tribalist and essentialist perceptions of reality, and change this world from the inside-out!Like, Subscribe, and Share your thoughts and questions!Video in this episode:https://youtu.be/bSSb4IPNMGI?si=IfTCRKmf6hOSWIllwith @BrendanGrahamDempsey and Zak Stein, author of First Principles & First Values:https://www.amazon.com/First-Principles-Values-Propositions-Cosmoerotic/dp/B0CS85WYVX/Good News Roundup Source: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/Disclaimer: This show may include copyrighted material for educational purposes that are intended to fall under the "fair use" guidelines of Section 107 of the Copyright Act.

We all know the current system of predatory capitalism is not fit for purpose. We don't (yet) all agree on how to fix it, but for sure, no problem is solved from the mindset that created it. So how do we begin to compost the debris of the failing system to grow something constructive, generative, connected communities that can act as a bridge from where we are towards that future we'd be proud to leave behind? James Lock is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Opus Independents Ltd, a not-for-profit social enterprise, working in culture, politics and the arts. Opus works to encourage and support participation, systemic activism and creativity with project strands that include Now Then Magazine & App, Festival of Debate. Opus Distribution, the River Dôn Project and Wordlife. I met James and other members of Opus in Sheffield last summer when we were all part of the Sheffield Social Enterprise Network summer conference and I was really blown away by their understanding of systemic thinking, by their absolute commitment to total systemic change and by the flexibility of their thinking. Here were people who were taking the concepts that we talk about and making them real, amongst real people in a real place. So we agreed that we'd talk first to James for an overview of what Opus is and does, how the thinking comes together and how we can each take ideas from here and scale them up and out in the places we live. Clearly each city, town, village, street is unique, but some principles are universal and I think we can all learn from the ways James thinks about things as he strives to create the bridges towards a new system.

Is there inherent meaning to the universe, or is it meaningless? Are ethics simply a matter of "matter"—the result of a bunch of firing neurons and the relativistic musings of the mind? Is our current paradigm of what is "true" beginning to be updated? In this episode, we are joined by philosopher and author Zak Stein, who elucidates what it means to acknowledge the “first principles” of the universe—and how failing to do so has led us towards the “meta-crisis” we now face as humanity. Dr. Zachary Stein is a Co-Founder of the Civilization Research Institute and the Center for World Philosophy and Religion. He was trained at the interface of philosophy, psychology, and education and now works in fields related to the mitigation of global catastrophic risk. He is a widely sought-after and award-winning speaker and a leading authority on the future of education and contemporary issues in human development. He is the author of dozens of published papers and books, including Education in a Time Between Worlds. With his colleagues at the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, he helped author their new book, First Principle and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on CosmoErotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come. In this episode, we discuss: -How Zak came to religion and philosophy through music. -The “Meta-crisis” we are currently facing including human-created, existential threats. -Moral relativism versus a worldview that holds first principles/values. -How value is encoded into the universe. -Free will versus determinism. -The myth of the march of progress and the growth of technology as “good.” -How global stress is heightening relativism, separateness, technofeudalism, and moving us closer to a tipping point. -Iain McGilchrist's work on Left and Right hemispheres and how these show up in the collective. -The question of whether society is experiencing a sort of mental illness. -How attention/awareness acts as an organizing force and helps to create more health, interrelation, intimacy, and evolution. -The effects of technology on attention and the manipulation of our attention spans. -The body as a portal to understanding first principles. -Technofeudalism, coercion, manipulation, and social media in our modern world. -The conundrum of whether it is moral to control people for “good” reasons. -Chaos, order, and re-order in the evolution of our society.

If what our culture most urgently needs is for a critical mass of us to grow into adults and then elders, how can we help our young people to step beyond the artificial boundaries of our old, rigid system into a world where they are fully connected to all parts of themselves, each other and the web of life. How, in effect, can we create an educational system that is fit for purpose in the emerging century?In this podcast, I joined with Tim Logan, host of the Future Learning Design podcast, educator, part of the team at Good Impact Labs and co-leader of the International Baccalaureate's 'Festival of Hope'. Tim is a highly experienced school leader, management consultant, coach, educator and researcher, has held previous pedagogical and well-being senior leadership positions in a variety of international settings and is proud to have consistently helped to build innovative, outstanding schools, supportive relationships and powerful educational visions. He says, 'The important question for now is, can we intentionally create more spaces in our schools that provide a qualitatively different kind of 'educational' experience? Transformational shifts are happening in educational and organisational cultures around the world right now. I am incredibly fortunate to be able to play a role in this.'I was on the Future Learning Design podcast just before the dark nights of winter with Ginie Servant-Miklos, Raïsa Mirza and Will Richardson and his podcast has become one of my essential listens of the week and had been planning to invite Tim here to talk about the transformational shifts happening in education and how they can help us lay the foundations for a world we'd be proud to leave behind. We were planning something for later in the year but we had a cancellation and he had a tech misfire and we both needed something fast to get the schedules back on track, so here we are with a joint conversation—one of those that ranges wide over the landscape of culture and learning and the 'citadel mind' and our history of optimising for everything and how we could, instead, begin to expand into a more porous mindset and look for resonance and help young people to become part of the emerging transformation of the entire web of life.

Traditionally, we have offered a meditation for the solstice - and these are available in the links below. This meditation aims to offer a long-wide-deep perspective on our place as conscious nodes in the web of life - the journey that brought us here and the places humanity may go. Please give yourself plenty of time both to experience the journey and to reflect afterwards. If it helps to write down your feelings, images, ideas or sensations afterwards, please do.

It's that time of year - when all we really want is to curl up and reflect, go inside, become the potential that will arise in the unfolding spring. If you want things to listen to or watch or read as you head into the long-nights, then these are (some of) the things that have caught my attention this year.

This week sees the launch of a new book: Transformative Adaptation: Another world is still just possible. The main editors and contributors are friend of the podcast, author, activist and co-founder of the Climate Majority Project, Rupert Read and - new to the podcast - Morgan Philips who is an educator, currently working for Global Action Plan, an environmental charity that mobilises people and organisations to take action on the systems that harm us and our planet. Full disclosure, I'm also a contributor - the book is published by Permanent Publications, the book-publishing arm of the Permaculture Magazine, and Maddy Harland, who edits the magazine and has published the book, brought together the five articles I wrote on Thrutopia: what it is, why we need it and how we get there, and fitted them into the mix. The book launch has been timed to coincide with the end of COP29. At the time of recording, we have no idea how that will go, but if it's like all the previous 28 COPs it will be a triumph of obstructionism and irrelevancy masquerading as action. We might be surprised. We hope we are. But even if the nations who truly understand the magnitude of the meta-crisis somehow manage a worldwide diplomatic miracle and succeed in making it clear that we need total systemic change - we still need guidelines that help us see how this can happen: ideas of what to do at local and national levels, examples of the kinds of deliberate democracies that we'll need to bring everyone on board; templates of how the world can be if we actually bring all our creativity to bear on the single most important issue of our time. This is exactly what this podcast is for - the whole of it - and this particular episode lays out the detail, from the concept of a 6th Mission for the UK government (and any other national government that wants to take it up) to examples of how we might shift our educational focus, to why building flood defences is really not enough, never going to be enough and how we could shift our communities to stop reacting and start…adapting. None of this is easy. We do know this. But we can at least start the important conversations. This is what we're doing here - and we hope you find it inspiring enough to buy the book and read it, give it to your friends, family and colleagues - do whatever it takes to help your local community to find creative, flourishing, inspiring ways to meet the chaos of our world.

We are not going back. But how do we go forward now in a world where the old norms are under assault by people who move fast and break everything? How do we find a place of balance and compassion - for ourselves, each other and the More than Human world - so that we can move forward in a way that isn't just a replaying of the old binaries? Our world changed irrevocably with the results of the US election on the 5th of November. On this podcast, we talk a lot about total systemic change and now that change is happening in front of our eyes. Clearly, there is no going back from here. So how do we who care deeply about a flourishing future - who wish there to be a survival of complex life in all its amazing creativity - navigate this new landscape? How do we embrace the polarities and dichotomies of an unpredictable world so that we can embrace the infinite complexity - and unknowability - of the future? This week's guest is someone who has devoted her life to exploring the paradox at the heart of our existence. I first met Andrea Hiott through her 'Love and Philosophy' podcast which has become part of my essential listening list. From the outset, Andrea struck me as someone whose way of viewing life is, if not unique, then definitely exceptional and well worth exploring. As you'll hear, she is someone who throws herself into learning: she can talk with authority on everything from philosophy and phenomenology to neuroscience and ecology and as we speak, she's completing her doctorate, which is called Ecological Orientation. She's an author of various books, including Thinking Small, The long, strange trip of the Volkswagen Beetle, and has long worked on issues of motoring and mobility as a consultant, writer, and ghostwriter. She has appeared in films and TV shows, such as The Bug and Cars that Changed the World. She's been on a whole variety of other podcasts, and has worked extensively for museums, artists, collectors, and agencies. She is also developing the philosophical framework of Waymaking and the practice of Navigability and I have never in my life spoken with someone who has evolved their own philosophy to the extent that they can talk about it in depth and in detail and make so much sense. There's a YouTube where Andrea does exactly this - I've put a link in the show notes. On top of all this, she is founder of the private educational consulting platform, Making Ways and pours her energy into collaborating with other thinkers and creators at the intersection of multiple different philosophical, cognitive and ecological landscapes, so that she can create a deeper, more emergent understanding of the world we live in. We booked this conversation over six months ago and we were not particularly hinging it around the US election. But we recorded this one week to the day after the vote that has so completely changed our world so it would have been impossible not to reflect on this. Andrea is a US citizen, currently living in Europe, so she has a particular set of perspectives - and a capacity to see beyond the polarities that feels particularly useful now. I felt a lot calmer after this conversation than I did going into it and that wasn't all about the pony with colic that put our recording back by a day. So in the hope that this helps you, too, to deepen into this moment of absolute change, https://www.andreahiott.net/https://making-ways.ck.page/profilehttps://www.youtube.com/@waymaking23https://www.youtube.com/@DesirableUnknownhttps://www.facebook.com/TheBugMovieThinking Small Book
Portal 1: Intimacy, Eros, and Evolutionary Love - Begins Sunday, November 24 2024 Unique Self 2.0. with Marc Gafni What is Unique? What is Self? What is 2.0? Marc argues that the Enlightenment traditions made the big mistake of denying identity and selfhood. He attempts to rectify this mistake and celebrate human uniqueness as the only way to survive the meta crisis. A great conversation and invitation to Marc's course at Parallax, which begins Sunday, November 24th.

Bio: Dr. Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, and passionate philosopher. He is known for his “source code teachings,” including Unique Self theory, the Five Selves, the Amorous Cosmos, A Politics of Evolutionary Love, A Return to Eros and Digital Intimacy. He is author of over twenty-five books, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, as well as Orthodox rabbinic ordination.He teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy and spirit in the West, with the aim of participating in the articulation of what Dr. Gafni together with Dr. Zak Stein and colleagues are calling CosmoErotic Humanism. At the core of CosmoErotic Humanism is what Dr. Gafni and Dr. Stein are calling ‘First Principles and First Values,' Anthro-Ontology and a “Universal Grammar of Value.” This shared story rooted in First Principles and First Values can then serve as the matrix for a global ethos for a global civilization.Dr. Gafni is the Co-Founder and Co-President of the Office for the Future, the Center for World Religion and Philosophy and the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. At the core of their shared missions is the articulation and delivery into culture of a Great Library - in multiple forms - which participates in evolving the source code of consciousness and culture in response to the Meta Crisis. "
If you're over 40, the world you grew up believing in no longer exists. The younger generation approaches the polycrisis with open eyes, striving to find and nurture resilience, to listen to the whispers of synchronicity and let it lead them - and us - to a world that works for all life. Today, we're talking to Elliot Riley. Elliot is an educator, permaculture designer and practitioner working to bring wellbeing, reforestation and perennial food production into schools. Elliot graduated during the pandemic. When he left school, he was planning to join the paratroops, but after what he describes as a 'Thunderbolt moment', he shifted tack and, despite not having the grades, was able to get a place to study history at the New College of Humanities. One pandemic and a degree later, he realised that mainstream education struggles to equip us for the challenges of a changing world. After two years upstream, studying Trauma-Informed Education and permaculture in the Dominican Republic, Elliot returned to his hometown, where he now works at The Saint Leonard's Academy, leading a wellbeing programme called Future Growth, which supports students whilst transforming the community's waste into a regenerative food forest. Through an initiative called OFFSET, Elliot's working to spread the mission further.Elliot's Patreon Page for OFFSET https://www.patreon.com/offsetfoodforests/about/Elliot's instagram account for OFFSET food forest: https://www.instagram.com/offset_food_forests/The One World Orchestra's first single https://open.spotify.com/album/62UZvSNV1gtBXdqLQLdfrw?si=WIdwzar_RvivoA-P3dBiAThe Human Hive https://www.thehumanhive.org/our-storyVaughan Wilkins and links to his PhD thesis on the Zoochosis of humanity https://www.vaughanwilkins.com/thesis Accidental Gods Membership https://accidentalgods.life/enrol/
In this conversation, Zak and Rufus examine the shift that has taken place from a belief in the intrinsic value of the universe to the modernist view that denies the reality of value.Zak explains how this loss of value has contributed to the current metacrisis, impacting areas such as education, architecture, and technology. The concept of "civilizational transvaluation" and the dangers of a potential civilizational collapse during this period of profound change are also discussed. Alongside this, the potential for conscious evolution is explored, which could enable new forms of human cooperation and flourishing—provided that we establish an urgent, coherent discourse around value to address the challenges we are facing. This conversation supports the recent book First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on CosmoErotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come.

Here is an Autumn Equinox Meditation to help set you up for the shift from the long days to the long nights. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, there's a Spring Equinox Meditation here.
Hier ist er: unser erster Podcast nach der Sommerpause! Eine Perle aus unserem Sommercamp 2024, in dem wir gemeinsam mit 150 Gäst:innen zum Thema „Liebe*n ist politisch – Mut zur Menschlichkeit“ geforscht haben. Elias Schmidt ist 23 Jahre alt, Auszubildener bei uns und spricht über einen neuen Ansatz, der gut zum ZEGG passt: Cosmo Erotic Humanism. In den Texten dieser kollektiven Autorenschaft von Barbara Marx Hubbard bis Ken Wilber geht es u.a. um Anziehung, um den Eros in und zwischen Allem. Elias ist begeistert von dieser neuen Philosophie, übersetzt Texte ins Deutsche und spricht zu den Fragen: Was ist Cosmo Erotic Humanism? Warum sind wir alle willkommen und gewollt im Universum? Was macht das mit uns, mitten in der Metakrise zu leben? Was hat die Renaissance mit einem möglichen neuen Bewusstsein zu tun? Warum sollten wir alle „Outrageous Loveletters“ schreiben? Wie finde ich das, was ich tun kann, damit die Welt sich verändert? Die Intention von Elias ist es zu vermitteln: „Ich bin gewollt, du bist gewollt vom Universum. Ich bin willkommen im Universum und ich werde gebraucht im Universum. Wir als Menschheit sind willkommen.“ Anmoderiert und geschnitten von Ina Froitzheim Erwähnte Medien von uns oder Gästen: Institut für Zivilisationsforschung https://civilizationresearchinstitute.org/ Center for World Philosophy and Religion https://worldphilosophyandreligion.org/ David j. temple: First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on Cosmoerotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come Marc Gafni & Kristina Kincaid: A Return to Eros: The Radical Experience of Being Fully Alive Mehr über das ZEGG erfährst du hier:www.zegg.dehttps://www.instagram.com/zegg.gemeinschaft/https://www.facebook.com/zegg.gemeinschaft/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaOeP_eYCvbRJ8fV1zKKASQUnterstütze uns gerne mit einer Spende: https://www.zegg.de/de/spenden Für Feedback und Anregungen: socialmedia@zegg.de>> hier geht's zum "ZEGG Podcast" auf zegg.de

'Are we [in our WEIRD culture] intelligent enough to be more generous than we have ever been throughout history?' So writes Jenny Grettve, in her new book, 'Mothering Economy'. Jenny is an author, philospher, systems thinker and designer who joined us in Episode #228, talking about the principles and practice of her generative, systems-led design agency, 'When!When!'At the time, she said she was writing a new book that would be out in the late summer, and here we are - in late summer, and Jenny's book 'Mothering Economy' is coming out at the end of this month. So we're back in a wide, deep, provocative, generative conversation about what it might takes for us to have the courage to care deeply for ourselves, each other and the more than human world. She writes, 'The profound mothering among humans that I envision is not a burdensome technological revolution, but rather a simple way of being together. We have a vast number of examples: what we lack is the intention and commitment to raise awareness…'And so here we are, raising awareness, exploring the ideas deep in Jenny's book and searching our own beings for ways to show up with stronger, clearer, more open hearts. Just before we get to this, I'd like to tell you that we're holding a Zoom Reading Group for Any Human Power - it'll be on 15th September at 6-8 UK time and anyone and everyone is welcome. The writing coach Sally-Shakti Willow and Maddy Harland, editor of Permaculture magazine will join me in conversation for a bit and then we'll open to questions. We have a signup page on the website, just so we're not pushing a Zoom link out on the troll-filled shadows of the web, but if you've read the novel and want to explore some of the ideas in it, or ask questions, please do come along. In the meantime, please enjoy this wide, deep, thoughtful, caring, connecting conversation with Jenny Grettve, author of Mothering Economy.

We know that being kind to our gut biome is crucial to our health, but what about the trillion happy helpers (or not) on our skin, in our lungs, our ears, our mouths… the things we slaughter daily with the ‘cleaning products' we splash around our homes. What if there was a better way to keep things clean that wasn't toxic to us and the tiny lives on whom our health depends? Joe Flanagan works at the cutting edge of change, helping us shape the world for a flourishing future. Human health and the health of our planet are intimately interwoven - we established this with Dr Jenny Goodman a few weeks ago, when she unpicked for us the many, many ways we are poisoning ourselves by what's in our food, our water, our air… One of the things she touched on was the environmental toxins we unwittingly spray, shake and flush all over our house and into the waterways - things we not only don't need, but which are doing us active harm. If I was smart, I'd say this was the impetus for today's podcast, but in fact, I heard Joe Flanagan months ago on Viki French's 'PupTalk' podcast and that was long before I read Jenny's book. Joe is one of those people who is podcasting gold - he has the most gorgeous Irish accent and he's completely on top of his topic: which is the biome - the trillions of microorganisms that are essential to our lives and to the greater living biosphere. We've talked quite a lot about the gut biome on the podcast, but this is the first time I've had the chance really to sit down and explore the world with someone who specialises in the surface biomes - of our skin, our mouth, our ears, our lungs. As you'll hear, Joe started off working on air quality - how to make the air we breathe safe for us when the external air is so full of things we truly don't want to be breathing in. But gradually, his work has shifted until now he is one of the founders of Ingenious Probiotics, which sells to pet owners the things they need to help keep gums, skin and ears health. He sells things to wash our hands and our floors with, washing up liquid, as well as topical sprays for the animals - all predicated on the understanding that killing bacteria is a really bad idea and what you want instead is to provide the right bacteria to out-compete the pathogenic ones. Joe is a font of information and this was a unique opportunity to sit down with someone right at the cutting edge of transformation. We talked everything from canine aural surgery to human behaviour and the corruption endemic in our health systems. Above all, he understands that if each of us changes our behaviour - if we actively choose to stop poisoning the planet that is our home - and stop poisoning ourselves and those we care most about at the same time - we can make radical improvements in the way our system works.

The Western world is in a crisis of democracy - but we learn a lot of our principles from the ways we interact online and the internet is essentially a feudal space that gives absolute power to a few and robs the many of agency. Nathan Schneidersuggests that if we were able to shape a more liquid democracy online, our experience of generative interactions would spill over into the outer world. Has to be worth a try, right? So how do we do it? As we spend increasing amounts of our time, energy and emotional bandwidth online, so we are increasingly exposed to what passes for democracy online. And then we internalise the inherent autocracy and are at risk of exporting this to the real world. So what can we do to change things? What's democracy for in the first place and how can we experiment with increasing the scope and scale of agency and accountability so that we can build trust in the processes that define our lives. Nathan Schneider is a professor of media studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he directs the Media Economies Design Lab and the Masters program in Media and Public Engagement. The book that drew me here is 'Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for online life', - which you can buy as a paper copy, but you can also download for free. He has also written 'Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition that is Shaping the Next Economy', 'Thank you Anarchy: Notes from the Occupy Movement' and God in Proof, the Story of a Search from the Ancients to the Internet. He's edited other books about crypto and co-ops, writes numerous articles and his blog posts are essential reading. He serves on the boards of Metagov, Start.coop, and Waging Nonviolence. Follow his work on social media at @ntnsndr or at his websiteIn essence, discovering Nathan has been like discovering the well of life... He's deeply enmeshed in that liminal space where the best of human technologies meet the leading edge of digital technologies and he brings to it the sense of deep wonder, humility and humour that I've only otherwise met in meditators or contemplative mystics. I feel I only scratched the surface of his thinking in this conversation and would dearly like to go back for a second round, but only after I've re-read everything he's written - and dived into some of the online spaces. In the meantime, as a taste of what's possible, please do enjoy this podcast.

How can the indigenous or pre-colonial worldview reshape our understanding of our world? How can it reconnect us as humans, as mammals once again? Is her power accessible to everyone? Should it be....?Join Unshod Today!In today's episode, we are joined by my dear friend and mentor, Wahinkpe Topa, or Four Arrows, navigating the intersections of indigenous wisdom, its non-binary worldview, and the transformative power of becoming fully human: a relation, a kin with nature and not her dominator. We kick off this conversation with a critical discussion on the film "Indian Horse," co-produced by Christine Habler and Clint Eastwood, spotlighting the nuances of indigenous portrayal in media and the importance of authenticity and sincerity when we embrace the indigenous worldview in our own lives. Through Four Arrows' perspective, we differentiate between place-based wisdom and overarching indigenous worldviews, drawing argumentative connections with Iain McGilchrist's theories on brain hemispheres and their cultural implications.We then challenge the conventional academic frameworks held by our colonial institutes by introducing critical neurophilosophy, merging indigenous wisdom with contemporary neuroscience. This segment critiques McGilchrist's exclusion through indigenous perspectives and examines the essence of oneness, implicit in the indigenous worldview. We discuss Four Arrow's book Restoring the Kinship Worldview, which illuminates the power of worldview and the indigenous worldview's 28 precepts: nature-based and human-centered worldviews.Our conversation takes a deeper turn as we redefine hope and human connection amidst global crises. Drawing inspiration from Sitting Bull and indigenous spiritual practices, we explore concepts such as reincarnation, hypnosis, and the intrinsic value of interconnectedness. The episode culminates in a powerful discussion about moving from a fear-based or courageous culture to one of fearlessness, emphasizing the power to rebuild society through indigenous principles. We also reflect on Abraham Maslow's encounter with the Blackfoot people, challenging the Eurocentric biases that have shaped traditional views on self-actualization.Watch this Conversation on YouTubeBuy Daniel's Latest Book, StagtineWahinkpe Topa's Books:Full list HERE.

Clearly we need urgently to shift the democratic dial towards something that might actually serve the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. But how do we get there? How do we open the doors to possibility so that we can shift from the disconnection of our culture to a path of real heart-mind connection to the web of life? Our guest this week is Leah Rampy, author of the book Earth and Soul, Reconnecting Amid Climate Chaos, a beautiful, many-layered weaving that is a memorial to the world that is dying around us, a paean to the world that is possible and a deeply imagined, deeply practical guide to how we can actually engage with the living web so that we can bring ourselves into a place of understanding, connection and service. She says, 'We are not made to be separate from Nature. We were formed from Nature by the same cosmic evolution. The vitality of our lives depends on our acceptance of the gift of communion.' This book is full of personal insights, of stories from the islands of Britain, from Australia, from the Americas. It's beautiful and heartfelt and the prose flows with an ease you'll recognise when you hear Leah speak. At this time of utter turbulence in the world, please take this chance to settle into the words of someone who is crafting a path towards a future that works for all.

In this episode I discuss the Dopamine Culture impacting our children, how to navigate the Meta Crisis, the importance of Gardening and other outdoor programmes to help with Mental Health & Wellbeing.
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalI don't think I have prepared for any interview as hard as I prepared for this one. My guest today is Marc Gafni, former rabbi, Hebrew mystic, and author of a number of books, most notably “A Return to Eros”, “Your Unique Self”, and his most recent book, “First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on Cosmoerotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come”. I recommend you take his writing in through small sips versus trying to binge any of them on a weekend. They are potent. In this conversation, we discuss:the Divine Feminine and how the world's religions have got it wronghow the comparison of masculine and feminine is fraught with disastrous outcomespostmodernity and the evolution of love and a new grammar of value through which a shared story of value can be developed in order to solve the world's problemsshame as the root of all evil and how a new sexual narrative - the sex erotic - is the only “cure” for shamethe importance of these principles in addressing the myriad of issues that plague maternity care worldwideLimitations within the work of Jordan Peterson, Yuval Harari, Wilhelm Reich, and even Brené BrownBrace yourself…you are entering the complex mind and heart of Marc Gafni…Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Marc:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramXTikTokFacebookLearn about Marc's work:Free Unique Self Mini-CourseUnique Self-Emergence Training ProgramFree Weekly Broadcast with Dr. Marc GafniReferences and Links from the show:Marc's books:A Return to Eros: The Radical Experience of Being Fully AliveYour Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal EnlightenmentThe Erotic And The Holy: Kabbalistic Tantra for Everyday LivingJoin Marc in Holland for 5-Day Intensive Mystery School, November 13-17, 2024, at erosmysteryschool.comFirst Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on Cosmoerotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference:Join 150 birth workers and 20+...
We know by now that the old system is crumbling, that the old paradigms are no longer fit for purpose and we need to take part in the birth of something new: this is what this podcast is for. But what are the tools and how can we begin actually to build something relevant and useful within the strictures of a system that is still trying to cling onto legitimacy and power? Michael Haupt was a key figure in the widespread introduction of mobile telephones to South Africa ahead of the first all-race elections in 1994. He was head-hunted soon after and the next decade saw him working around the globe in 16 cities on 6 continents. He was in Thailand, taking a year out when he had a vision - an actual not-expected, not-planned, not-drug-or-meditation-mediated set of visions - that showed him how the world could look and feel like if we manage to craft a route through to what he calls the Transition Phase of our evolution. This moment was pivotal in his life. Now he's a 'Resilience Strategist' bridging between those businesses that are switched on enough to know that corporate greenwashing is no longer useful, and agile enough to find what is. He's building mycelial links to others who are working in this area and he's thinking deeply - so deeply - about where we could go and the actual logistics of how we might get there. I've been holding a lot of conversations on the back of launching Any Human Power about how we could build a future that is fit for purpose, where the human and More-Than-Human worlds flourish on a thriving planet. Thanks to Audrey Tang and Glen Weyl, I can see some of the routes through to political and technological change. Thanks to the Gaia Foundation, the Sustainable Food Trust, the million and one permaculture organisations around the world, I can see a way to mending our totally broken food and farming system. I can see ways to shift transport and power generation and city design. What I have lacked, until now, is the ideas that might bring the great behemoth that is the corporate world on board in a way that's useful. And this is what Michael is doing. As ever, this was a wide, deep conversation and it pushed the edge of my thinking, but it brought me to a place where I can more clearly see a few more steps forward. I hope it does the same for you. 00:00 Introduction: Reconnecting with Nature01:19 Welcome to the Podcast01:40 Michael's Journey to Resilience Strategy02:14 Load Shedding in South Africa03:49 Understanding Resilience Strategy04:52 Michael's Life Journey and Worldview07:40 The Vision on the Beach12:15 Potential Futures and Human Coordination15:22 Cycles of Civilisations18:12 Class-Based vs. Values-Based Societies20:19 Emerging Consciousness and Systemic Change22:01 The Role of Currency and Mutual Credit27:25 Coordinating for Systemic Change28:55 South African Elections and Corporate Responsibility32:10 Legal Personhood for Natural Entities35:12 The Mycelial Network and Future Coordination38:28 Encouraging Systemic Change39:13 Resilience Strategies and City Exclusion40:12 Rural Experiments and Human Purpose41:12 Challenges of Implementation45:27 Local Currencies and Community Commitment50:50 Ownership vs. Stewardship53:22 Rediscovering Connectedness57:26 Emerging Incentive Mechanisms01:09:35 Forking Governance and Parallel Systems01:16:25 The Power of NarrativeMichael on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelhaupt/A blog past about the Thai beach experience: https://michaelhaupt.com/the-beach-4b6e60e407e8Michael - Liminal School liminalschool.org Cycle of Civilization: https://bit.ly/7-Phases-Glo Interstructure: https://bit.ly/Int-Struct Roger Briggs, Emerging World - explains the shifts in consciousness: https://bit.ly/Em-World Will Ruddick, Commitment Pooling: https://bit.ly/CommPool Joe Brewer Bioregional Movement: https://bit.ly/JBrewerClare Graves' Momentous Leap: https://bit.ly/MoLeap GaiaNet: https://www.gaianet.earth/Dark Matter Labs: https://darkmatterlabs.org/
Join Courtenay Turner in the recap of this week's radio hour where she delineates the trajectory of ideas that are fomenting the one world religion needed to usher the masses into a New World Order under a centralized world governance or “Planetics” as Robert Muller called it. Cosmo-Erotic Humanism is a wild ride but one worth teasing out if there's any hope for preserving individual free will outside the “global brain”. ▶ Books Referenced In This Episode: ✩ World Without Cancer; The Story of Vitamin B17 https://amzn.to/4cCxspp ✩ First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on Cosmoerotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come https://amzn.to/3XXwZcS ✩ The Aquarian Conspiracy: Personal and Social Transformation in Our Time https://amzn.to/45TTm55 ✩ Changing Images of Man https://amzn.to/3YdXACT ✩ The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI https://amzn.to/4cRL3c7 ✩ The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America https://amzn.to/3RTWlEz ✩ Alternative to Armageddon The Peace Potential of Lightning War https://amzn.to/3Lf7NqD ✩ The Cosmic Vision of Teilhard de Chardin https://amzn.to/3LdlB54 ✩ The Future of Mankind https://amzn.to/3LB4ESx ✩ Man in the Modern Age https://amzn.to/4cA6qPu Listen weekly as Courtenay broadcasts deeper dives into truth, globally via the WWCR airwaves.

If the current electoral/governance system is not fit for purpose (and who could possibly imagine it was?) how can we lay the foundations for new ways of organising democracy, new ways of voting, new ideas of what governance is for and how it could work in the twenty-first century. How, in short, do we create space for future generations to be able to decide their own futures in ways that are not constrained by material or political strictures they've inherited from us? In this ground-breaking conversation with Glenn Weyl, economist, philosopher, film producer, visionary - and co-author with Audrey Tang of the book Plurality, which emerged from a collaboration to ask all of these questions - and from Audrey's experiences in re-shaping the democracy in Taiwan towards connection, collaboration and - above all -peaceful resolutions of the many internal contradictions of that state. Glen currently works at Microsoft where he is the founder and research lead of the Microsoft Research Special Project the Plural Technology Collaboratory, though he was previously GeoPolitical advisor to the CTO. He also founded and serves on the board of the RadicalxChange Foundation the leading thing tank in the web 3 space, and is founder and chair of the Plurality Institute which coordinates an academic research network developing technology for cooperation across different disciplines. He's also senior advisor to the Getting-Plurality Research Network at the Harvard Edmond and Lily Saffra Centre for Ethics. He previously lead Web 3 technical strategy at Microsoft's Office of the CTO and taught economics at the Universities of Chicago, Yale, Princeton and Harvard Glen's websiteThe Plurality InstituteRadicalxChange FoundationQuadratic voting explainedPLURALITY - the book Audrey Tang on Twitter Trailer for film biopic about Audrey Tang: The Good Enough Ancestor Project LibertyQuadratic Voting - with Ruth Catlow in Episode #193
Our guest this week is Dr Deborah Benham, Biomimicry Educator, Transition Town Co-Lead Link and Deep Nature Connection facilitator - which puts her in a place to really unpick what it will take for us to depart the crumbling remains of late-stage capitalism and build a world based on connection, coherence and community. From her early days as a Marine Biologist, through her PhD on sea otters (I am not remotely envious of someone who gets to study sea otters for 3 years!), to her time in a community near Findhorn and now in a co-housing community in Dorset, Deborah's life has been oriented towards holding a vision of humanity as a helpful species on this planet. As you'll hear, she's the co-Lead Link for Transition Network, the charity which supports the international Transition towns movement; she's a trained Biomimicry Educator and with a background in Jon Young's Deep Nature Connection work, Deborah brings a practical, experiential lived and living toolkit that she shares and teaches - of how we can build thriving human societies, cultures, communities and businesses, designing with and as nature, creating mutual benefit for all life, using tech in life affirming ways, and uplifting justice, kindness and cooperation. We often reach an impasse where we know roughly what needs to happen, but don't have the conceptual or practical tools to bring it into being. Deborah has both - she's fully grounded in the theory of how communities of support, practice and place can come into being and she's teaching and living the practice. In fact - she's one of the core team creating the Nature Connection Camp from 4th - 10th August near Bedford in the UK so if you're around and want to experience the many ways we can weave the four threads she talks about, please hit the link in the show notes.

I'm always left spellbound by the breathtaking honor of connecting with Dr. Marc Gafni. When he speaks every cell of my body comes alive, my soul feels ignited, I'm able to literally feel Eros in, as and through me. It brought me to tears. We spoke of his new book that I invite you to purchase, First Principles and First Values. Not only did we speak of Eros and Pseudo Eros, but a new word, Erosvalue in response to the meta-crisis. And yet what does this mean to your life and intimate relationships? In this inspiring conversation you will discover... -The importance of being able to feel the whole of life, not to bypass the hurt or disassociate ...but to feel it all, move beyond identity and embrace unique values to experience a never known before possibility. -How reality isn't stagnant, it evolves, Eros evolves, the ever deepening of intimacies where homosapiens are evolving into what he and Dr. Barbara Marx Hubbard call Homo Amor. -How First Principles and First Values allow us to tell a new Story of Value... And how we need to stay in the field of value to create synergies and end the meta-crisis. -How indeed we live in an intimate universe and yet the intimate universe also lives in us, thus intimacy is literally what we need to survive and embody thriving. -How we can evolve the story that animates society when we support our evolution reading this book of first principles and first values, a shared grammar... so we are no longer lonely, non intimate, cut off from the interior of each other, isolated in surface existence. -How, quoting the book, we can create a new story with a plot line that plays out desire that moves toward intrinsic values where we have will, choice, possibilities and freedom, dealing with the crisis of value, (a birth) and a resolution of a new structure of value.

This week's guest is one of those at the forefront of regenerative change, both on the ground and as an educator. Nicky Grady Scott is a Master Composter, author of several books on composting, a YouTuber with some fascinating videos on composting, host of composting masterclasses in person and online around the world - and he's set up community organisations to make Proper Jobs out of work that is so often done by volunteers who verge ever on the brink of burn-out. In short, he knows a serious amount about the how, why, where and what of this key part of the regenerative cycles that link or living soil with our living food. We all eat. We all want the soil on which our food is grown to be as alive as possible. We will all do best if we eat locally. So this is our route to doing so - please welcome Nicky Grady Scott: Master Composter.

Dive deeper into the transformative journey with John Vervaeke and Jordan Hall as they continue their exploration into faith, meaning, and the power of Dialogos. This second part of their conversation delves into the evolution of Christianity, the limitations of the scientific worldview, and the urgent meta-crisis that beckons a collective awakening. Through a blend of philosophical depth and actionable insight, John and Jordan navigate the realms of relationality, the potential of imaginal engagement, and the intricate pathways toward spiritual and intellectual enrichment. This episode is a testament to the transformative potential of deep, respectful dialogue in uncovering nuanced understandings and fostering growth on both personal and collective levels. Guest Bio and Links: Jordan Hall is a technology entrepreneur with several years of experience building disruptive companies.

This week's guest is one of those who understands the nuts and bolts - the iniquities - of the current system - and has ideas of how we can shape something better from the hot mess of corruption and greed in which we're mired. Grace Blakeley is a staff writer at Tribune Magazine and author of several books, including 'Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom' in which she peels back the layers of our economic system, exposing the stark realities hidden beneath the veneer of 'free markets' and 'democratic' institutions.Grace's journey from the New Statesman to the frontlines of political commentary has equipped her with a unique vantage point to critique the fusion of state and corporate power, illuminating the dark corners of corporate greed and government complicity. With a narrative as gripping as a thriller, she exposes the corruption that led to tragedies like the Boeing 737 MAX crashes and the grim theatre of financial crises.In our conversation, Grace challenges the notion that some are born to rule while others to be ruled, advocating for a new democratic settlement that truly empowers people.

Alexander Beiner joins us to explore how psychedelics can help us make sense of the meta-crisis. This includes topics like complexity tolerance and the overwhelming deluge of information in modern digital life; “How” and “why” we solve a problem is as important as the “what” of the solution itself; the mythological impact of sci-fi narratives on identity and perception; and whether AI will become a new god. Additionally, we speak on extended-state DMT (DMTx) and interacting with entities; overlaps in the perceptual impact of phenomena like DMT entities and UAPs; and emotionally managing the potential of our world slowly declining into a nightmare dystopian future. ...

Words have the power to change worlds. Powerful words, powerfully written can open doors to the future. Beautiful words, beautifully written, can give us hope . Richard Wain's new collection of poetry is doing all of these, with panache, and heart and soul.We all know by now that we need total systemic change - and a central thesis of this podcast is that we'll get there best by creating narratives that build this - both highlighting the need for it and exploring possible paths through. What's becoming clear is that this is an emotional and spiritual journey long before it's a logistical one. So we need to find ways to reach beyond people's head-minds into their heart-minds and spirit-minds. With this in mind, our guest this week is a poet, an entrepreneur and an artist. Richard Wain is founder and director of the digital marketing agency Vu Online, and of the Positive Nature Network, both committed to creating networks of businesses that can support each other in the move towards a regenerative, flourishing future. He is also a poet with a commitment to celebrating openness and vulnerability and he has now written a beautiful, generative book of poetry called Beyond the Brink is the Beginning.I met Richard when he came to our 6 month Thrutopia Masterclass back in May of 2022 - and was struck by his capacity to grasp the big ideas. Then I began to read the poems that arose out of our classes and was really in awe of his capacity to take these big, complex ideas, find the emotional spark at their core and weave it into something that could open hearts and help others to understand what really matters. We've been planning this podcast for ages, but his book is coming out soon, so now is the time - though in the end, as always happens, we roamed far and wide beyond the book, to the positive nature network and how small businesses and their owners, who are often their founders and may well be the sole employee, can begin to be part of the solution. As ever, we approached our own edges, which, a bit like poetry, is what this kind of medium is all about. Richard's book will launch on 27th November 2023 at The Barrel House in Totnes. Go along if you can!Here's the event link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-the-brink-is-the-beginning-book-launch-tickets-74349440076Buy the Book here: https://www.beyondthebrinkbook.com/Positive Nature Network https://www.positivenaturenetwork.co.uk/Vu Online https://vuonline.co.uk/Richard on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@richardwainpoet

Here at Accidental Gods, we are increasingly of the opinion that our most urgent need as we face the polycrisis is to find a sense of being a belonging that changes our life's purpose. We all know we're not here just to pay bills and die, but knowing what we're not here for is not enough: we need to feel at the deepest level what we are here for, to rebuild the deep heart connections to the web of life such that we can take our place in the web with integrity and authenticity and a true sense of coming home. As we head into our sixteenth season, our third century of episodes, this is our baseline. The membership is here to delve deep into the practice and to give the time and the space to building the connections and the podcast exists to outline the theory and to give a voice to other people on this path. And with that in mind, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to this week's guest, the narrative strategist, Ruth Taylor. I came across Ruth when she published a Medium post entitled 'To UnPathed Waters and Undreamed Shores' - and just that title alone was enough to get me to read it. And then I was blown away by the ideas Ruth put forward, by her theories of narrative change, which are clearly at the heart of all we do, and by the clarity of her thinking and writing. I've put the link in the show notes so you can read it for yourself. In the 6 months since she agreed to come onto the podcast, she's published several other posts and a long paper called Transforming Narrative Waters, which delves even more deeply into the need for, and practice of, narrative change. Ruth works for the Common Cause Foundation which I first came across when I was at Schumacher College and had my eyes opened to the emotional intelligence behind it, and the astonishing work it's been doing in the world. Ruth is particularly interested in narrative change and writes a regular newsletter called In Other Words that collates the latest thinking in this field so she was an ideal person to explore the nature of framing, and story and how we can get to grips with changing the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and why we're here and how our relationships to each other and the world can still shift us away from the cliff's edge.CCF is a not for profit that works at the intersection between culture change and social psychology. Over the past ten years, it has pioneered a new way of inspiring engagement through catalysing action that strengthens and celebrates the human values that underpin the public's care for social and environmental causes. Its work is centered on the research findings that, 1) people are more likely to support environmental and social change when they place importance on their intrinsic values, such as equality, curiosity, broadmindedness and community, and 2) that the majority of people in the UK place importance on these values, but are constantly having their more extrinsic values primed due to the consumerist culture in which we live. With this in mind CCF offers training and support to a range of organisations on how to develop messaging and campaigning strategies that engage with people's intrinsic values in order to rebalance the value norms in our societies.Ruth on Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruth-taylor-14747173/To Unpathed Waters and Undreamed Shores https://commoncausefoundation.org/to-unpathed-waters-undreamed-shores/Transforming Narrative Waters https://ruthtaylordotorg.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/transforming-narrative-waters.pdfCulture and Deep Narratives blog (Medium) https://medium.com/inter-narratives/culture-deep-narratives-and-whac-a-mole-16cc1ecfc0a9Online Course: Values 101: Creating the Cultural Conditions for Change https://www.tickettailor.com/events/commoncausefoundation/820814?Global Action Plan https://www.globalactionplan.org.uk/Internarratives https://inter-narratives.org/The Common Cause Foundation https://commoncausefoundation.org/HumanKind Book https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/humankind-a-hopeful-history-rutger-bregman/4969515?ean=9781408898956CultureHack https://www.culturehack.io/Narrative Initiative https://narrativeinitiative.org/about-us/The Culture Group https://theculturegroup.org/Parents for Future https://parentsforfuture.org.uk/

My guest this week is Jon Alexander, the author of "CITIZENS: Why the Key to Fixing Everything is All of Us," and the co-founder of the New Citizenship Project; a strategy and innovation consultancy with a mission to catalyze a shift to a more participatory, citizen-led society and driven by a belief that, given the right opportunity, people can and will shape the things that matter to them for the better.Here are seven minutes of soundbites.About JonJon began his career in advertising, working at agencies including BBDO and Fallon, making ads for some of the world's biggest brands. However, Jon became disillusioned with the industry and realized he was caught up in a story he didn't believe in: the consumer story.Through his book and his organization, Jon advocates for a new way of thinking, shifting the dominant story of the individual in society from consumer to citizen; reframing the moment in which we're living as a time of huge civic opportunity, emphasizing the world of possibility for countries, cities, organizations if they embrace the Citizen StoryJon's book may be the most important book I've read in years and I am convinced the story shift he's advocating and fighting for will be pivotal if we are to overcome the meta-crisis we are facing as humans and as a planet.

Paddy and I recorded a brief 15 minute bonus of how the world could look if we actually employed all the strategies in 'Building Tomorrow' - so sit back, soak it in - and then let's make it happen... BIO: Author, Paddy le Flufy read mathematics at Cambridge, then - as seems to have happened with quite a lot of our recent guests, he took a job in the city and qualified as an accountant with KPMG. And then, as also seems to happen with our guests, he didn't buy into the system, but instead spent years, living a double life in which he worked as a finance specialist in London for six months of the year and then used the money to live in remote places, alongside people whose lives were radically different from his own. He has traveled with economic migrants, been taught to fish by the rural people of Mozambique and lived with Hadza hunter-gatherers. He spent two months living with an indigenous tribe in the Ama§on rainforest, then won a Royal Geographical Society Award to spend an entire year being taught by traditional wisdom-keepers from another jungle culture. Since 2015, he has been based in the UK and then Canada, researching how we can redesign our economic system to avert the impending environmental catastrophe. His book is the result and it brought together some ideas we've explored already on the podcast, but knits them with things I had never heard about, and it creates a whole that has the potential to change the way our culture functions - which is genuinely exciting.

If you've listened to the podcast at all over the past few years, you'll know that the search for routes to total systemic change has always been the driver of what we're doing and why we're doing it. Even so, it's not often I talk to someone who is singlemindedly exploring the routes to that systemic change and who has the tools to help everyone explore the potential for what might come next. And so this week, I am immensely happy to have had the chance to talk to Cat Tully, a remarkable woman who spends her life helping people to bridge the space between where we are and where we need to get to, in ways that drag as little of the past with us as possible, while opening the widest gates we can to the systems, structures and practices that stand the best chance of a generative future. Cat leads the School of International Futures (SOIF), a not-for-profit international collective of practitioners based in the UK that use futures thinking to inspire change at the local, national and global levels. SOIF has worked with organisations like the UN, Omidyar, NATO, the Royal Society and national governments across the planet - all with the explicit intention of making the world fairer for current and future generations. SOIF also supports a growing network of Next Generation Foresight Practitioners - young people under the age of 35, who can advocate for and engage with change in their communities and the wider world. There is so much that the SOIF is doing - so many people it's bringing together - we could have spent our time together talking about specific instances, and Cat does use specific examples of projects she's involved in to highlight specific areas, but in general, we wanted to explore the ideas, the systems, the ways we might think differently so that you can pick them up and run with them. Because one thing is becoming increasingly clear as our future unfolds - which is that none of us knows what it is, and it's going to take all of us, using the best tools we have, to make it clear. Cat is bringing us those tools, honed and ready for use. SOIF Projects: If you are interested in learning strategic foresight to shape the future of your community or your organisation, SOIF offers an annual in-person Summer Retreat in Strategic Foresight, happening from 24 to 28 July 2023 in the UK and virtual courses throughout the year. The next virtual courses in 2023 are starting in May and September. Futures toolkit for leaders: SOIF and California 100 published "Beyond Strategic Planning: Foresight Toolkit for Decision Makers"—a primer for leaders looking for straightforward, pragmatic ways to apply foresight to their work. The National Strategy for the Next Generation programme engaged 16-30-year-olds, Next Generation Champions, to imagine futures of the UK's international development role in 2045. SOIF developed the Framework for Assessing Intergenerational Fairness with Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The tool has been used by All Parliamentary Party Groups for Future Generations (APPG) in their initiative Futures Check, and we have developed a policy brief on Building a Coalition for Intergenerational Fairness in the European Green Deal. Next Generation Foresight Practitioners, an initiative by SOIF, is the largest global network of next-generation future-alert changemakers democratising the futures and foresight field. With 100 fellows and 500 members of a global network, the initiative supports young change agents that use foresight to shape better futures for their community and the world, e.g. NGFP members in Africa imagining Digital Futures of the continent, seeding collaboration with an Impact fund and creating opportunities for members to be visible, BBC Futures article, Youth Climate and Energy Futures Lab at COP26 and contributing to United Nations General Assembly on the SDG Moment Closing Panel.

We know that the future is based on Community. What we lack are practical routes to creating communities of community on a worldwide scale - ones that can form and will be resilient enough to survive. In this week's podcast, therefore, I'm genuinely thrilled to introduce you to one of the women who is breaking new ground in the creation of communities at scale and across wide geographic areas. In quite specific order, Grace Rachmany is a mother, a tech industry trouble shooter, author of over a hundred White Papers, creator of Voice of Humanity, Gangly Sister and - crucial to the trajectory we're taking just now - co-creator of Priceless DAO. If you've heard our podcast with Cory Feco back in episode #170, you'll know we invited Cory to tell us about DAOs specifically because we knew we were going to talk to Grace and wanted you to have at least a grounding in the nature of Disseminated Autonomous Organisations and the nature of the Web 3 revolution so that we could head straight into Grace's ideas and work in this podcast. And here we are: Grace is one of those people who has thought outside the boundaries of our current system, about the nature of the current system, about economics and governance and politics and decision making and the creation of viable communities as we head out of the old paradigm into something new and different. The result is Priceless , which is a cause-based DAO in the form of a networked nation, which says it is dedicated to creating a true alternative economy and alternative citizenship for its members.In pursuit of this, Priceless funds economic experiments that are designed to replace the current monetary system. The holders of PricelessDAO tokens can create whatever they want with the DAO, while the founders of Priceless Economics develop decentralized economic models that support life on earth.At Priceless, we are convinced that the existing financial system is crumbling and at the end of life. While many projects seek to salvage what we've got, Priceless is looking forward to creating a completely new system that will be a destination for those trying to escape the collapse of everything.I mean, you know everything's collapsing, right? What can you do about it? At the very least you can give your sh*tcoins to PricelessDAO. Any funds we have will be used to research, design, prototype, and deploy economic models that respect humans and the planet.Which is just what we're here for. Truly. If you want to know more, or to be part of her thinking, follow the links below - and then stay tuned for the bonus podcast, in which we recorded the follow-up conversation on the nature of cryptocurrency and Ponzi schemes and the global financial crash(es).

Accidental Gods podcast exists to open doors and break down barriers, to bring forward the ideas and the actions of and give voice to the gloriously creative people who give their lives to the idea and realisation of a regenerative future. In this wide-ranging conversation with Solutionist and film-maker, Nicola Peel, we learned of the horrors of oil spills in the Amazon and the ways fungi could clear them if only the oil companies would let the work begin. We explored the nature of regenerative farming in the global north and - particularly - in Ecuador where agro-forestry is rebuilding soil on land that had previously been devastated by beef farming - and how the polycultures might save the cacao industry. We contemplated death and burial, whether carbon offsetting can be useful, the concept of air as a global commons and how to integrate localism into the map of a flourishing future. At the end - as often happens - I stopped recording but we carried on speaking and it seemed that Nicola was saying things that definitely should have been in the podcast. So I hit record again. Twice. We've stitched those bits on at the end for you. BioNicola Peel is a Solutionist, environmentalist, film maker and host of the Solutions podcast. For over 20 years her work has been focussed on environmental solutions. As a filmmaker, she has made documentaries to raise awareness, built rainwater systems for those drinking contaminated water and brought together scientists to use fungi to clean up oil spills. She has built buildings made of thousands of plastic bottles filled with rubbish and taught agroforestry to regenerate the soil and prevent further deforestation of the Amazon. She believes that around the world, people are waking up to the climate and ecological breakdown we are facing. For many they think it is up to governments or big business or someone else to fix the problems and feel disempowered to be a part of the change themselves. Believing, too, that every one of us have different strengths and different areas of expertise, Nicola's focus is to identify the issues we face and see what opportunities and solutions there are to address these issues.

Rob Percival is a writer, campaigner and food policy expert with The Soil Association. His commentary on food and farming has featured in the national press and on prime time television, and his writing has been shortlisted for the Guardian's International Development Journalism Prize and the Thomson Reuters Foundation's Food Sustainability Media Award. He works as Head of Food Policy for the Soil Association.The Meat Paradox is his first book, and goodness, it's been a world changer - since its hardback publication, Rob's become a global superstar: invited to speak to groups across the spectrum of industry and culture about the nature of our relationship with the food that we eat. We left our first conversation each feeling that we'd just begun to scrape the surface of possibility and it would be good to talk again. We had scheduled another podcast for later this year, but I saw that the book had just come out in paperback and that coincided with our having a total technological crash in this week's interview. So Rob really kindly agreed to fill in at super short notice so that we could talk more about life and death and food and the nature of the meta-crisis. There's so much to this that really cuts to the core of who we are and where we're heading as a species, and we ended - again, feeling that there was more to say. But in the meantime, we explored the nature of the food system, the concept of precision fermentation, what makes 'whole' foods and how we might feed the world without industrial agriculture. Rob gave his one big suggestion for moving things forward - stop eating chicken. At the end, we opened another huge topic and began to explore the nature of death, and who our fear of the unknown leads us to denial of the meta-crisis and, in the end, denial of death itself. So we'll be back when Rob's next book comes out, but in the meantime, here are more thoughts on the social, political, practical and moral aspects of how we take in the building blocks of life.

Anticipated for several centuries by prescient individuals, the Meta-Crisis is the defining challenge of our time -- the convergence of multiple wicked problems, at global scale. In this special Integral Stage episode, Dr. Roger Walsh, a renowned transpersonal psychologist, integral scholar, and Professor of Psychiatry and Philosophy at UC Irvine, sits down with Layman Pascal to discuss the wisdom skills needed to apprehend, navigate, and respond to the daunting complex of issues, challenges, and changes that confront us. Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D. DHL. graduated from Australia's Queensland University with degrees in psychology, physiology, neuroscience, and medicine, and then came to the United States as a Fulbright Scholar. He is now at the University of California at Irvine where he is professor of psychiatry, philosophy, and anthropology, as well as a professor in the religious studies program.

How do we respond to the meta crisis of compounding existential threats? The answer that Dr. Marc Gafni PHD would give is that ““Y/our transformation is the transformation of the whole.” In other words, the change you are seeking in the world begins with changing the way you see yourself and your place in the world. This series of podcasts under the title “Toward a New Story” is about building a shared story of value as a context to celebrate our diversity. While Dr. Gafni is an ordained Rabbi deeply familiar with the mystical underpinnings of the Kabbalah, we recognize that this new story must include and transcend the validated insights from all the great religions, philosophies, and cultures from premodern, modern, and postmodern times.

It's the weekend edition of CoinMarketRecap! Connor Sephton and Molly Jane Zuckerman chew over some of the biggest crypto stories from the past seven days. This week… should Meta spend less on the metaverse after suffering eye-watering losses? Britain has a new crypto-friendly prime minister — but some Bitcoiners don't like him because he's also in favor of central bank digital currencies. We find out why Apple is against NFTs, why Elon Musk entered Twitter headquarters carrying a sink, and Molly Jane tells us about a 40,000-word article about crypto that's appeared in Bloomberg Businessweek. Plus — all the latest on Akon City… and plans to tokenize 60 luxury villas on the site of the doomed Fyre Festival. You can follow us on Twitter — @ConnorSephton, @MollyJZuckerman and @CoinMarketCap.
Are we going about self development in the wrong way? That's the question tackled by our new film and course with the long time coach Steve March. Steve's work, Aletheia Coaching, has been welcomed and embraced by the likes of John Vervaeke and others in what's been described as the Liminal Web, as it consciously addresses what's called the Meaning Crisis or Meta Crisis. This is released at the same time as a short course with Steve to learn the basics of the Unfolding method, which teaches a powerful new approach to development known as 'unfoldment'. You'll learn: - How to attune to yourself, others, and the world in a way that promotes deeper connection and purpose. - Practices to help you deeply participate in your present-moment experience - Techniques and practices to help you create unfolding partnerships with others To find out more, check here: https://rebelwisdom.co.uk/courses/unfolding

The jarring reality is that nearly all of our institutions, including politics, media, Hollywood, and “science” have been captured by financial incentive and will to power. This corruption has obfuscated our sense-making abilities and as a result we are not demanding better leadership with our votes. Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are experts in evolutionary science, and they've used their expertise to analyze and question everything over the past 2+ years of this pandemic. This podcast touches on the pandemic, the paradoxes of woke culture, and some of the important principles of evolutionary biology as discussed in their latest bestseller A Hunter Gatherer's Guide To The 21st Century.

Ep. 17 (Part 1 of 2) | Jonathan Rowson, brilliant, driven, articulate, shines a bright light of understanding on the metacrisis we face today, what feeds it, and what could help us find our way through. What is metamodernity and what does it have to offer? Is the ecological crisis fundamentally an educational crisis? Can we grow into our problem rather than thinking of ourselves as “failing beings” as the climate collapses around us? From the metaperspective to the deeply personal, Rowson shares his wisdom, including life lessons he gleaned from being a chess Grandmaster, before becoming a philosopher, research fellow, nonprofit director, and author. Recorded on November 17, 2021. “Let's be careful what we're talking about because we're creating a world…” Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1What are Jonathan's daily practices (while also being very much “in the world” these days)? (05:37) Being a cartological hedonist: intellectual mapmaking (10:27) What does Christianity have to offer that we should be paying attention to? (11:58) Becoming “construct aware” in the political spectrum and elsewhere: cultural progress depends on it (14:29) The UK Brexit quagmire: what are we talking about when we say democracy? (18:32) Why developmental psychology may not be the best lens to look at our culture and politics (20:15) What is the most strategic contribution you can make? (29:45) Progressive imperialism: assuming everyone is or could be on the same page—but conflict and opposition will always be a feature of the world (32:04) Who is included in the word “we,” getting people to face up to the fallen nature of the world, and the Manichaean worldview (34:51) The contemplative perspective and our fundamental state of delusion (36:30) Underlying delusion in the progressive community that there is a fundamental “right” way or that we will come to a common agreement on issues like climate (38:28) The imperative to mobilize to face the epistemic crisis as well as the environmental crisis (40:23) How do we work together in a context where we may disagree and dislike each other: making friends with conflict (42:05) The metacrisis, confusion, and the bottomless mystery: a time between worlds (45:08) Carlos Castenada's 4 traps for the person of knowledge: fear, power, clarity, old age (47:57) Confusion is not necessarily a bad thing (48:35) Resources & References – Part 1Jonathan Rowson, https://amzn.to/3szuCgo (The Moves That Matter: A Chess Grandmaster on the Game of Life)* https://systems-souls-society.com/ (Perspectiva), https://systems-souls-society.com/ (systems-soul-society.com), interdisciplinary nonprofit organization based in London, developing responses to our epistemic metacrisis; Jonathan is co-founder and director Jonathan Rowson, essay https://systems-souls-society.com/tasting-the-pickle-ten-flavours-of-meta-crisis-and-the-appetite-for-a-new-civilisation/ (Tasting the Pickle: Ten Flavours of Meta-Crisis and the Appetite for a New Civilisation) Jonathan Rowson, https://www.thersa.org/globalassets/pdfs/reports/spiritualise-report.pdf (Spiritualise: Revitalising Spirituality to Address 21st Century Challenges) Jonathan Rowson, anthology https://amzn.to/3vz9vwK (Metamodernity: Dispatches from a Time Between Worlds: Crisis and Emergence in Metamodernity)* Jonathan Rowson, essay, https://systems-souls-society.com/metamodernism-and-the-perception-of-context-the-cultural-between-the-political-after-and-the-mystic-beyond/ (Metamodernism and the Perception of Context: The Cultural Between, the Political After and the Mystic Beyond) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanta (Vedantic philosophy) Confucius' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectification_of_names (Rectification of Names) Robert Kegan, https://amzn.to/3sI1K5v (The Evolving Self) (first chapter “The Unrecognized Genius of Jean Piaget”)* Alistair McIntosh, https://amzn.to/3ts6Xhb (Hell and High Water:...

Ya podés escuchar el nuevo episodio del podcast de la revista crisis, con el resumen de lo más importante de la semana en la escena política argentina. Hoy hicimos un episodio especial sobre los resultados de las Primarias Abiertas, Simultáneas y Obligatorias del domingo pasado, y de la crisis desatada en la coalición oficialista a partir de la derrota en las urnas. En el primer bloque analizamos lo sucedido en Buenos Aires, epicentro de la fuga de votos peronistas y de la victoria de Juntos por el Cambio. Con la opinión del diputado nacional Itai Hagman. Y de María Migliore, Ministra de Desarrollo Humano y Hábitat de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. También nos ocupamos de la actuación estelar de la derecha ultraliberal, y del crecimiento de la izquierda trotskista. Por eso hablamos con el especialista Pablo Stefanoni, de la revista Nueva Sociedad. En la segunda parte viajamos hacia varias provincias para hacer una lectura federal de los comicios. Desde Mendoza, el politólogo Oscar Soto. En Entre Ríos contamos con el reporte de la periodista Luz Alcain. Desde Córdoba, la interpretación del colega Hernán Vaca Narvaja. Lo sucedido en Tucumán fue analizado por nuestro compañero de Meta Crisis, Sebastián Pisarello. Y más al norte, contamos con un mesaje de Gastón Remy, economista y docente universitario. La reseña de la importante elección de Santa Fe estuvo a cargo de Juan Pablo Hudson. Por último, hicimos la genealogía de la crisis desatada al interior del Frente de Todos: las renuncias mediáticas, la carta de Cristina y un rediseño que envejeció al gabinete nacional.

In this episode of Saving America, I discuss the terrorist attack by Noah Green that killed one Capitol policeman and injured another, and give an update on the southern border situation. I do a round-up of rumors, including that a woke mob is halting construction of a highway and that the Biden administration is sending money to Iran and to Palestine. My guest this week is Jonathan McElvy of McElvy Partners. Jonathan owns and operates several community newspapers, and joined me to discuss the perks of truly local news coverage as well as the meta-crisis currently being faced by the news media. As always, the opinions expressed in this podcast are mine and my guests' and not the opinions of my university, my company, or the businesses with which I am connected. I am an attorney and speaker as well as the founder and CEO of Claremont Management Group, a consulting firm in Houston, Texas. I'm also a tenured professor and the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs at the University of St. Thomas. I have written and published The Decline of America: 100 Years of Leadership Failures, a thought-provoking, non-partisan book that reviews the last 100 years of American Presidents (from Wilson through Obama), offering not just criticism, but common sense solutions to help fix America before it's too late. I also host the podcast Business Law 101, where I discuss the legal concepts all business owners need to know.
