Join us to catalyse the shift and reimagine … Continue reading

"After two extraordinary weeks in which Extinction Rebellion brought London to a standstill, kids walked out of school to join the School Strike for Climate, Greta Thunberg dropped in to meet MPs and others, and David Attenborough’s ‘Climate Change: The Facts’ documentary went out on primetime TV, the UK parliament declared, the day before I’m writing this, a national climate emergency. As someone who has spent the last 15 years of my life ceaselessly speaking, blogging, campaigning and writing … Continue reading
"There are real obstacles to environmental progress, but we must focus on what we are for, not just what we are against... "This is what I wanted to offer up to my now five-year-old daughter.

It's important to remember that a great birth is also taking place, partly through this death, the birth of an embodied, divine consciousness on the earth that expresses itself in sacred action that protects and nourishes and sustains, and establishes justice on every level, and in every realm, for all sentient beings.
