How do we emerge into a new future from here?

In this week’s conversation with award-winning novelist, smallholder, contemporary shamanic trainer and host of the international chart-topping Accidental Gods podcast Manda Scott, we explore the edges of shaping the future of our wildest dreams.

‘The ​not ​knowing ​is ​what ​allows ​the ​space ​for ​the ​web ​of ​life ​to ​send ​the ​knowing ​in.’ and it is this not knowing that gives us room to dream, rise and change this system. ‘It's ​not ​predictable. ​If ​we ​can ​predict ​it, ​then ​it's ​not ​the ​new ​system, ​​but ​we ​can ​take ​ourselves ​​to ​the ​emergent ​edge ​of ​inter ​becoming, ​from ​which ​​emergence ​into ​that ​new ​system ​is ​hopefully ​more ​likely ​than ​the ​chaos ​and ​extinction.’

We explore:

:: Why the emergence into a new system can feel unpredictable but wonderful

:: How to move from a trauma culture to an initiation culture

:: How to dream without constraints

:: What ​it ​looks ​like ​when ​8.5 ​billion ​people feel belonging, ​connection, agency ​and live ​a ​life ​filled ​with ​meaning

:: How we as humans have the power to change and shape a new future

:: Why visions come at unexpected times

:: What ​happens ​when continually ​asking ​of ​the ​web ​of ​life, ​what ​do ​you ​want ​of ​me?

:: How to move away from the head mind and settle into the heart mind

:: How temporary shamanic practices help connect to the wonder and glory of the world

:: How habits done consciously become rituals

:: What the transformative journey of writing a book looks like

:: How the process of death can be a potential window into a ​new ​system ​

:: How ​to make ​governance ​​into ​something ​that ​is ​generative ​and ​collaborative again

We hope this episode encourages you to explore deeper what invitations the web of life is making to you.
