Our culture influences our thoughts, our feelings, our nervous system programming, and our actions - and thus our relationships to our bodies, our sexuality, and to each other.  Imagining a new culture can help us to change our beliefs and thus it can help transform our relationships, which changes our culture.  So, at the beginning of culture change is imagination.  How would you imagine the worl...

Tantra means ‘weaving’. At the core of Tantric philosophy is the interconnecting and integrating all aspects of existence into a unified whole - the Sacred Union. It is one of the most important spiritual practices of this time - because it is not only about transformation and liberation - it is also a reclamation of the body, of our sexuality as a creative life force, and a reclamation of death. ...

What wisdom and skill-set did our ancient ancestors have that has been lost? What made Homo sapiens survive and other Homo species not?  The term 'Ancient Futures' comes from the idea that in order for us to have a future, we need to incorporate the life-style of our ancient ancestors - their social structures and their ways of interacting with the Earth and all the living beings in it d...

Beyond the real knowing whether or not there is a purpose in this universe, the thing that matters is that we f...
