    TIMELESS //'How to Reimagine Power and Presence in Search of the Sacred' with Sophie Strand and Bayo Akomolafe

    In this TIMELESS episode we hear from Sophie Strand and Bayo Akomolafe. Together, we explore how the sacred is less about certainty and mastery and more about dwelling in the unknown, the disruptive, and the in-between. As we open ourselves to this journey, we consider how unlearning and openness might guide us toward a deeper, more grounded sense of the sacred—one that emerges in moments of humility, fragility, and genuine encounter.

     

    “And  I  was  thinking  that,  at  least  in  my  own  situated  experience, my  approach  to  the  sacred  would  be  to  flip  the  paradigm  and  to  ask,  what  if  the  sacred  researches  you?” Sophie Strand

     

    As a writer, Sophie focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially between beings, ideas, differences, and mythical gradients. Bayo is a poet, philosopher, psychologist, professor, and chief-curator of the Emergence Network. He curates this earth-wide project for the re-calibration of our ability to respond to civilisational crisis.

    We hope this TIMELESS episode invites you to pause and reflect on the sacred in new and unexpected ways.

    Manda Scott on Thrutopia, Vision and Human Power // Writing A New Story - E224

    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.
