Welcome to our co-evolutionary pot of fermentation and composting, ritual and wonder! We want to have the largest conversations possible with you, at the crossroads of deep time, the future and the now. We invite you into this space for consciousness shifting spells to compost power-over culture from the inside out. We are leaning in to the edge of this present-time rupture that is the 6th mass extinction, and listening for the ways Earth might be dreaming through us in these times. Listening to the larger story, told by the web of the other-than-human world and thereby de-centering the human narrative so that our ways forward are sourced from wellsprings of wisdom, well beyond the limitations of the strategic-mind. Join us in tracking the scent of inner-led change out into the wildish world, remembering that we are earth, “not just troubled guests on this planet” (David Whyte). There at the wellspring, where the hieroglyphics of the hooves of creatures are pressed into the mud, we will listen to Earth’s Dreaming in the sound of water over rock. We will gather and speak what we’ve heard at the emergent edge of the unknown. We invite you into the ritual practice that is co-evolutionary culturing.

Manda Scott (I’m with Audrey Tang on pronouns: post-gender feels pretty good. She uses - */* which means ‘any entry accepted' in computer code, but if we have to nail it down then she/her is fine.)
Born in Scotland at 318ppm CO2, Manda Scott trained as a veterinary surgeon, but is now an award-winning novelist, host of the international chart-topping ‘Accidental Gods’ podcast, co-creator of the Thrutopia Masterclass and a contemporary shamanic practitioner/trainer at
Manda Scott is probably best known as a novelist, though she’s also host of the Accidental Gods podcast which, like us, gives a voice to people who are at the leading edge of inter-becoming, the emergence into a new paradigm that we all know we need. She’s the author of the Boudica: Dreaming series which explored the ways people lived in the islands of Britain before the horror of Roman colonisation, but with her last novel, she’s moved to the future five minutes from now - what she calls a Thrutopian future: how do we get through to a way of living we’d be proud to leave to the generations that come after us. Manda is also a contemporary shamanic practitioner of over 40 years standing, and she’s been teaching since the early 2000s, so we stepped into the other words and took our whole conversation from there.
