Johan Nilsson: Farming as Ceremony #48
In the US, there’s a prediction that if the current traditional farming practices continue, there’s 60 harvests remaining before the topsoil is completely eroded. Is there another way? Biodynamic farmer and dancer Johan Nilsson offers one alternative. What if we transform our entire mindset and instead of viewing the soil as dead matter we enter into a relationship with it?
Welcome into a sparkling and stirring conversation where the borders between agriculture and art are wiped away, where the intuitive development of the farmer and the soil are seen as one and the same, where the farm itself becomes an alchemical organism, where attentiveness, presence and the spirit of constant discovery and mutual enrichment is key. Welcome to a world where both carrot and human can reach their fullest potential.

Lunisolar Mind XIII: New Moon #47
Lunisolar Mind returns with a thirteenth episode, shedding some light (or darkness) on the new moon, the light absent in the skies of this episode’s release.
In this moment of pregnant stillness, in the space between inhale and exhale, we wonder.

Good and Evil #46
We kick off 2024 with a timely musing on the nature of Good and Evil. Does absolute Good and absolute Evil exist? Is the binary idea of Good and Evil useful or does it disconnect us from the actual reality of things?
Your hosts Mikael Öberg and Torgrim Mellum Stene explore this landscape through the medium of a spread of Hollywood blockbuster movies.

Winter Solstice Special #45
It is that time of the year. We sit on the treshold. Between what we know and what we don’t know.
We look at what has happened In the Borderlands in 2023 and we look ahead at what we would like to discover and experiment with in the year to come.
And as an offering to you, dear listener, we end with a midwinter meditation, dreamt up for this moment in time.

Susanna Salo: Kalevala Tarot #44
Susanna Salo was looking for a deck of Tarot cards inspired by Finnish mythology, but could not find one. So she decided to make one herself.
More than a decade later, close to the global relaunch of the English version of her mesmerizing and dreamlike deck, we were lucky enough to get to speak to her In the Borderlands. About the creative process, being inspired by dreams, following the inner voice, how the mythology of Kalevala blended with the Tarot system to create something entirely new, and of deep listening.
We even get to draw a few cards!

Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen & Petter Madegård: The Return of the Yule Goat #43
The Yule Goat is an ancient Northern European symbol of the midwinter solstice, a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. The practice of dressing up like a horned goat for Christmas has many examples in Scandinavian history, though only echoes remain.
Friend of the show and historian of religion Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen has for the past few years aimed to remake a new tradition. Inspired by animism, carneval, Krampus processions in the Alps and samba he has started a Yule Goat Parade in the center of Copenhagen which this year will take place on the 16th of December.
We talk to him and mask actor Petter Madegård about the thoughts behind the parade, the old concept of beings of darkness bringing the light at the turning point of the year, and the importance of renegotiating your relationship with the absolute Other.
