Indy Johar is an architect, maker and Mission Steward of Dark Matter Labs, focused on building the institutional infrastructures for radicle civic societies, cities, regions and towns.

This dialogue features members of the Voicecraft Network for a session to reflect and build on recent themes and threads explored at Voicecraft.

Why do people experience blocks in the process of connecting to themselves and others? How do we cultivate contexts and skills that support healthier modes of relating to difference? What does it mean to relate with, through and beyond tragedy?

Joining Tom Lyons is the philosopher and writer Daniel Garner of O.G. Rose, Elder Les Spencer, thinker and arborist Zach Fishman and Clinical Psychologist Aspasia KG.

This podcast features real peaks of intensity in relation to profound material, and in that sense does ask something of you, the listener.

Matthew Segall is a transdisciplinary researcher, writer, teacher, and philosopher applying process-relational thought across the natural and social sciences, as well as to the study of consciousness.

Jamie Wheal is a writer and cofounder of the Flow Genome Project. He’s the author of 'Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind', and a guide to leaders across many domains of high service and performance.

This dialogue sought in part to relate with the questions and tensions at the forefront of Jamie’s thinking, three years post the publishing of Recapture The Rapture. It found some footing in the mud of uncertainty between the desire to democratise transcendence, and the reality of life-death process as epitomised by narratives of exodus.

An exploration of high influence mythos in the emerging media landscape with specific reference to dialogues between Aubrey Marcus and Matias De Stefano.

Voicecraft Network members O.G. Rose, Tim Adalin, Aspasia KG, Kyle Lawrence, Tom Lyons, High Root and Cam Duffy engage questions of epistemic rigour, experiential knowing, and responsibility in the context of spirituality, philosophy and cultural influence.
