Inner Pathways

We live on a planet which rotates around its axis and orbits the Sun. Together with the whole Solar system, we travel through the Milky Way galaxy in a speed which is difficult to image. We observe the Moon and the Sun, understand the cycles and know that we are part of it. Putting the learning activities we organise into cosmic context, tuning our events into universal harmony brings a grounding frame, authentic feeling and big learning potential. 

In this episode, we present approaches to combining nonformal education with the big galactic picture.

What is the quality of your personal wellness? This guided Wellness Inventory will introduce you to the six dimensions of wellness and give you the chance to explore them. It will help you to develop awareness of the areas in which you are thriving as well as your areas for growth. 

You can download and print this document: it will make the inventory a bit more visual, leading you to create your personal wellness wheel, but it is not strictly necessary.

Take a pen and paper and an open mind and enjoy the ride.

In this podcast, Rob Dreaming is offering us some basic guidelines and soundbites for circle practice, use of a talking piece, place and intentions, including context and a little history as a source of the cross-cultural practice.

In this conversation with Looby Macnamara, we are talking about regenerative approaches to the cultural crisis, and how we can engage in the world in a regenerative way. 

Looby is a permaculture teacher, author of People and Permaculture, 7 Ways to think differently and Strands of Infinity, currently working on her new book, Cultural Emergence.

This podcast offers a practice of body scan that welcomes you to notice what is going on in your body and mind at the present moment. This is a meaningful practice when we catch ourselves being overwhelmed and stressed out. And also may serve necessary to increase overall body awareness.

The sitspot practice invites you to build an intimate relationship with a place in nature. 

In this podcast you'll find an introduction to the practice: where to find your sitspot, what to do there, what nature connection can bring into your life, followed by a guided sensory awakening exercise. 

This is a practice you can to tap into every day. Get ready to go outside and try it!

Alex Nunn is a Head of Movement Building at Action for Happiness, a contributor to Regenerative Culture in Extinction Rebellion and a Regional Community Builder in the Earth Holder Network.

He shares with us what regeneration means to him and in the activism context, how Regenerative Cultures look like, and what resources and practices can support us to keep engaging, taking action and facing the reality of the crisis.

This guided visualisation, created by Mark Gifford, co-director of Asha centre, is an invitation to imagine a sustainable future and to connect with our unique contribution.

This podcast offers a guided practice aiming at body awareness. It is taken from the approach of Social Presencing Theater. While being given 10 minutes time to arrive from lying to standing up, the practice invites you to pay close attention to what movement emerges out of the body - rather than following a mental concept. In this way, it is supporting to dance with the Not-knowing.

This practice can support us to cultivate feelings of kindness, care and compassion towards ourselves and all living beings. It can also help us open our hearts and increase awareness of interconnectedness and interbeing. You can practice the Loving Kindness meditation every day.
