    #103 Reciprocity and To Keep Choosing Love

    What does it mean to keep choosing love, even when life, relationships and the world around us make that choice difficult? This week I'm exploring reciprocity, the ebb and flow of giving and receiving, and how we can nurture relationships that allow everyone to feel seen, valued and loved. Choosing love isn't always easy, and it doesn't mean getting everything right, keeping score or expecting perfect balance all the time. It's about showing up, making space for one another, having compassion, and being willing to keep finding our way back to each other. It's also about extending that same love and kindness to ourselves. Perhaps, most importantly, it's about continuing to choose love without abandoning ourselves in the process. Because choosing love doesn't mean accepting everything, and sometimes the most loving thing we can do is choose ourselves.

    #102 Power to the People; Corinna Edwards-Colledge and Undoing Othering

    Following last week's conversation with Ellen Groves, reporting from the front line of the protests in Paris, this week I'm continuing to explore what resistance, solidarity and people power really mean. Joining me is Corinna Edwards-Colledge, Joint Branch Secretary of Brighton and Hove UNISON, to talk about Undoing Othering. We live in a world that often encourages us to divide ourselves into us and them, to see difference as a threat rather than a source of strength. But what if we challenged that story? Capitalism can feel like an inevitable part of the human condition, but it isn't how we've always lived, and it doesn't have to be how we live in the future. The stories we tell about the world shape the world we create. And perhaps it's time we started telling a different one. This is a conversation about solidarity, collective power, challenging the systems that divide us, and remembering that another way is possible. Because people power begins when we stop seeing each other as the other. The novel Corinna mentions that she wrote is The Door That Shouldn't Have Been There: A Modern Fairy Tale About Grief.

    #101 Pilgrimage for Armageddon; Ellen Groves and An Ordained Ending

    This week I meet Ellen Groves, Guernsey journalist living in Paris, who has spent the last few weeks trying to protect her children from military force. My flight home to the Channel Islands was delayed until Monday, and somehow it feels utterly ordained. I was meant to be here in Paris today, at the protest, meeting Ellen and hearing her story. What a way to bring this year’s Pilgrimage for Armageddon to a close. After 38 days walking across France, following the lines of Michael and Apollo, arriving in Paris at a moment when the realities of war, power, resistance and global warming are playing out right in front of me feels profoundly significant. And the fact that the person I’m interviewing is called Ellen? Well… if you know, you know. 👁️🔥 Sometimes chaos isn't chaos at all. Sometimes the universe has other plans. Viva la révolution! ✊✨ The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemox Nonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com  I'd love to know what you think!

    #100 Pilgrimage for Armageddon; Week 5, Silly Hats & Unforeseen Consequences

    I can hardly believe we've reached episode 100! That's rather snuck up on me, and I'm feeling incredibly proud to have made it this far.  This week's episode of Nonsense in the Chaos takes an unexpected detour into the world of Big Brother, following the appearance of someone I know, Twinks Burnett, on the show. It's prompted me to reflect on just how much society has changed in recent years, the strange relationship we have with fame and visibility, and how grateful I am to be skirting through life and communities, spreading a little magic without having to deal with any spotlights myself. Meanwhile, the Pilgrimage for Armageddon continues, although this week brought the bittersweet goodbye to Scarlett, who has been walking alongside us. We'll miss her! As ever, the pilgrimage has a way of throwing up unexpected consequences, unlikely connections and plenty of opportunities to contemplate the bigger picture. From silly hats to Big Brother, this week's journey is a reminder that sometimes the most interesting revelations happen when life takes us somewhere we never intended to go. Here's to 100 episodes of exploring the unknown, trusting the chaos and finding a little magic along the way. ✨ The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemox Nonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com  I'd love to know what you think!

    #98 Pilgrimage for Armageddon; Week Three, In Relationship with Saint Michael

    It’s the Week of Michaelmas, and the pilgrimage has taken a distinctly autumnal turn. Rain, mud, long roads and some properly rough days have tested us — but they’ve also given us plenty of time to consider what it actually means to walk in relationship with Saint Michael. In this episode, we explore our own feelings about religion, the figure of Saint Michael, and the difference between following a religious tradition and forming a personal relationship with an archetype, a saint or a spiritual force. Looking at Michael through a more esoteric lens, we ask what he might represent beyond the familiar imagery of sword, shield and battle — and what happens when we allow ourselves to meet these ancient figures through our own experience, imagination and inner world. As the seasons turn, we continue walking towards the light, through the rain, and deeper into the pilgrimage.

    #96 Pilgrimage for Armageddon; Week One, Meeting Athena.

    Week One of the Pilgrimage for Armageddon is underway and it turns out the first lesson was about nearly losing one of the most important members of the expedition… My pilgrim staff, Polly.  After nearly falling from the ramparts at Mont-Saint-Michel, Polly was rescued, reborn and transformed into Athena, one of the energy lines we're setting off walking, and of course the goddess of wise decisions, wisdom, courage, strategy and righteous action. Which got me thinking about what really matters. Perhaps the most precious things in the universe aren't gold, possessions or even the things we think we need to survive, but consciousness, imagination and love. And, apparently, a rather magnificent piece of wood. And wood is the most precious material in the known universe.
