Speaking Stones: From Flint to Silicon – Dreaming with Ancient Technologies in a Modern World


Listen Later

This episode explores the evolution of human technologies through our relationship with stone — from the ancient arts of firestone flintknapping and megalithic monument building, to designing silicon chips and AI.

If we can bypass our boggle thresholds, I wonder how we might tune into the frequency of stones, and listen for the messages they may be holding for receptive humans.

Sharing stories of my embodied experience with flintknapping, and a series of dreams with these ancient technologies, we’ll reflect on how our intentionality, discernment, and consent can shape our relationships with technology in this digital age - and ask what it truly means to be human in a modern world.
