    Intimacy with the Essential

    Circles, spirals, red lines, ordinariness, the big journey of life, and everything in between. In this episode, Alastair and Laura walk the path together, touching on the art of enough, the energy of rebellion, censorship, overwhelm, what's acute and what's chronic, what's right to feel and do about that, and how good people all walk the line of this complexity every single day.

    Confronting devouring ugliness

    In this epispode Laura and Alastair return to the horrific nature of our world right now. Themes touched on before, this time more explicitly and confrontingly.

    What's in a name?

    The frames we take, the entanglements we break, the meaning we make... In this episode, Laura and Alastair make some wandering wonderings about language - and how the choices we make, or those that are made for us, shape our identity and so our experience of life too.     Do we have any sessions left from what we've paid for so far? Please invoice us for another batch.

    A tipping point, a great turning, a defining moment in time. Here we stand, as neighbours, at yet another juncture in our human evolution - in the midst of power struggles, domination, deep sorrow, kindness, greed. So many promises broken and so many not yet made, but ready, too. It's beyond time, now, for us to start properly paying attention.  And despite not having any real idea, keep asking ourselves - what are we going to do?

    Mind the guru!

    The ones who present themselves, the ones we seek for safety.   The ones offered in slogans and false deities of sacred institutions.   No worshipping at the gate here, rather step into the experience of yourself, and notice the disruption to your familiar patterns.

    Notes from the Middle

    Borders, centres, and the places in inbetween...   Our capacities to pull apart, our innate desire for weaving together...   What does it all mean to us, as animals with primal urge and as modern day humans with consciousness and choices too?   How do we stand in the places that enable life to flow - and what will we do with the many gifts we have been given?
