Collective Effervescence - ReDefining a Democracy that Works with Isabella Roberts of ANTIPARTY

Can we separate politics from democracy? Our political system is wholly corrupt and no longer fit for purpose - if it ever was. What if Citizens' Assemblies could bring agency to the whole of our population, helping people to find empathy with each other, to engage in conversations in good faith and work together to solve the wicked problems of the polycrisis: social inequity, climate chaos, the death cult of predatory capitalism.  These are so interlinked, we won't fix one unless we fix them all.

As we strive for conscious evolution - how can we weave together the best, most constructive spiritual wisdom paths from our past and create something that opens us deeply to the land and the Web of Life?

Zen and the Age of Celtic Buddhism with Brother Phap Linh from Plum Village Monastery

Contemplatives down the centuries have expressed a sense of unity with the All That Is, the Heart Mind of the Universe, whatever we want to call it. The words may be different, but the sense of non duality, of immanence, awe and inter-being seem universal. Only in our western world do we resolutely decide that the world is made of atoms and nothing really matters.  Except clearly it does, and if we have one central crisis in our world today, it's one of meaning-making...

“I think empathy is a creative act. It’s imaginal, it’s an art-making practice, where even just listening is creating a picture and a lifeworld of the other inside yourself in order to get closer to each other.” Dr Dylan McGarry

Sculpting Invisible Materials: Expanding Empathy in the Hot Mess of Now with Dylan McGarry of Empatheatre

Empathy lets us do more than just step into another's shoes, it opens the doors for us to step into their heart and soul with the vast generosity of spirit we'd like others to bring to us, so that we can see through their eyes as the best of who they are. Obviously, we can do this with other people, but we can do it too, with whales, with elephants, with horses, and red kites and moles and spiders - and mountains and trees and landscapes… empathy is the spark that connects us to the More than Human world.

Towards the Symbiocene: Building an Eco-Civilisation with thought-leader, Jeremy Lent

Jeremy Lent is a long time friend of the podcast. His new book, 'Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All' is coming out at the end of April 2026 and so we got together to discuss what an Ecocivilisation is, why we so badly need to become one, and how we might get there.

from #AccidentalGods:

Clearly, the concept of a nation state as a geopolitical entity that claims legal monopoly on violence within certain borders is no longer fit for purpose.

So how might we build something better - that *isn't* Trump annexing Greenland?

What is a Network State and how does the concept matter in relation to the Trump administration's attempts to take Greenland - and their 'peace' proposals in Gaza and Ukraine?

#CleanWater is a basic right of life. And water activism is one of those precious things that unites people across all the other toxic cultural divides. So what are we doing and why and how? accidentalgods.life/water-water-... #AccidentalGods #Podcast w Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek

Water, Water Everywhere and none of it fit to drink! With Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek - ahead of World Water Day

Today, we're talking about water, that utterly essential part of our biological and spiritual lives.  It should be clean. It should be safe to drink, to swim in, for us and all the species with whom we share our beautiful blue pearl of a watery planet. As we all know… it's not.

Kindling Quiet Romance: Reimagining the Law for Nature with Brontie Ansell of Lawyers for Nature

In the midst of collapse, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights and sovereignties to the More than Human world.  And yet, if we're to transcend this moment, it must be because we have become something other than we are now. To do this, we need the roadmaps that show us how to move through, and beyond, the collapse of the old into something new...

As the old paradigm splinters into rage-filled, grief-stricken fragments, how can we lay the foundation for the total systemic change we so badly need? Even beyond the listeners to this podcast, it is obvious by now that there is no going back. As Oliver Kornetzke wrote in a particularly sharply written piece on Facebook back on 22nd January - before Alex Pretti was murdered by Trump's Federal Agents - what white America is not experiencing is not new, and is not a flaw in the system, it is the system...

Laws of Nature, Laws with Nature: Nature on Board with Alexandra Pimor of the Earth Law Center

Across the world, our legal systems are crumbling, the rule of sane law dismantled in real time. Yet at the same time, rivers, mountains, bees are being granted legal rights in ways that would have been thought impossible even a few years ago.  And in boardrooms around the planet, C-suites and businesses are increasingly looking to the natural world for guidance on how to be in ways that heal the web of life. So how do we make this work? How do we ensure that it's not just another layer of corporate greenwash?
