Holistic Activism Guided Meditation (unmastered first edition)

This is the Holistic Activism Guided Meditation. It was written and recorded in 2020 to help communicate the four steps of Holistic Activism in such a way that the booklet cannot so easily do. The drumming helps put the mind into a deep space of presence while the 'guided' bit allows the listener to practice the steps on their terms.

This meditation is best listened to on a regular basis. That way you do not need to absorb everything that it has to say on every listen.  Over time however, you will develop an intimate connection to all four steps and be able to see and experience them as an integrated whole.

This will help us to shift our model of living to one that understands how our inner world and our outer world is intimately connected. We feel that this is fundamental to tackling the climate and ecological emergency and everything that lies between.

Your comments and feedback are always welcome :)

Holistic Activism Guided Meditation

How can we reduce conflict among activists and create campaigns that are long lasting while also reaching out and connecting with people who have different values to that of our own?

Also, how can we do this in a manner that does not enable us to continue to repeat the mistakes of history?

Holistic Activism recognises that traditional forms of activism are reactive in the way that they mostly tackle the symptoms of deeper issues.

While this is not a bad thing, we believe that it is important to peel the onion back a layer and tackle those deeper issues while also tackling the symptoms.

This is why Holistic activism is about developing a united and comprehensive movement of movements that has systemic and behavioural change at its very core.

We recognise that we will not overcome the climate and ecological emergency with the same thinking that led us into it.

We also recognise that we do not want to replace the system that we have now with one that starts off with good intentions yet ends up with the same ecological and social outcome.

If you identify with any of these perspectives, feel free to browse the website, make contact and join our movement.
