This Earth Sessions mix is dedicated to Mother Earth, our one and only home planet.
It’s for dancing and moving through overwhelming times.
It’s for the love of all that I know and experience of this Earth.
And to honour the vast unknowable intelligence beyond my human knowing.
——
Imagine if we began to see the Earth and the more than human world as our family ? 
(As many indigenous brothers and sisters have always done)
Just a shift in perception.
And an ongoing practice
No technology or markets required.
_______________________

The mix begins and ends with wisdom from two amazing guests on the podcast this year.
Two humans who are working towards this shift in beautiful ways.
Kicking off with an invitation from Imagination Activist Phoebe Tickell (EP 57)
To find the courage to cultivate our moral imagination capacities.
And consider the more than human and our future ancestors as we re-imagine our human systems that can, should and must be changed.
We close with beautiful wisdom from Nadeem Perera ( EP 59)
To consider and accept the true order of life, where nature, Mother Earth is the director of the show.
_______________
The track selection attempts to express the urgency, beauty, mystery, love and possibility of these times.
Music that’s been moving me of late.
Organic, cosmic house sounds which connect me to rhythms, patterns and love of Mother Earth.

Massive respect and gratitude to all the artists and producers featured in this mix.
Go buy these tracks if they move you too

Hope you enjoy the mix - feedback always appreciated

What is Climate Justice - A Climate Equities Soundscape

What if the health of the wild waters of the Earth are a reflection of human health?

What if restoring our relationship with the wild waters on this earth was a way to restore and heal our own health ?

How might moving into a more intentional relationship with water within us and around us help us through these times of fear, grief and complexity?

How might cultivating practices and rituals with water today begin to catalyse cultural shifts towards a return of the sacredness between humans and the waters on this Earth?

Easkey Britton is a surfer, scientist, academic, social ecologist, activist, writer and artist who has dedicated her life to exploring connection with the ocean and wild waters of this Earth and understanding our human relationship with water as watery beings.

This is Easkey’s third time on the podcast and this episode is in honour of her new book Ebb and Flow, Connect with the Patterns and Power of Water.

An essential book for this moment, as we are beginning to understand through witnessing the health of the rivers and ocean around us  - what we do to the wild waters of this Earth ultimately we do to ourselves.

Packed with wisdom and practices to restore health to ourselves and the wild waters around us, Easkey has weaved together insight and intelligence from her own deep experiences and those of wisdom keepers, water guardians, scientists, activists and indigenous scholars from all over Spaceship Earth.

This conversation riffs on a number of threads in the book.

This is an Ocean Mic episode in collaboration with Finisterre

Time In The Trees - Episode 2: Less To Do, More To Be

This unravelling world makes me despair today.

So I went down to the shed and recorded this mix.

Ruff and ready.

When there are no words, there is music.

Includes excerpts from my conversation with Alnoor Ladha in Episode 84, which I heartily recommend listening to.

Earth Sessions 11.10.24 - Falling

This is a short extract of a longer recording of an Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) at Nirvana Sur, off the southern coast of the island of San Andres (Caribbean Colombia). Acropora palmata is an important reef-building coral in the Caribbean.

The fish spotted around that coral were Acanthurus bahianus (Cirujanos / Surgeonfish); Sparisoma viride (Loro brilloso / Stoplight parrotfish) and Chaetodon capistratus (Pez mariposa de cuatro ojos / Foureye butterflyfish)

Thank you to the team of Blue Indigo Foundation, especially Gyssel and Maria Fernanda for enabling me to record this.

Recorded on the hydrophone Aquarian Audio H2D: aquarianaudio.com/h2d-hydrophone.html

Multispecies (Ants)

(Bio)Plastic Music

I'm an anthropologist, an imagination activist, a campaigner for multispecies justice and Indigenous rights, a podcast producer and a spoken word artist.

I create immersive sound journeys that bring together authentic stories from the frontlines of climate action, sounds from nature and atmospheric recordings. My show 'Circle of Voices' gathers stories of resilience and resistance in times of collapse and crisis, through human and more-than-human voices. It is an invitation to dream deeper into possible and desirable futures, while engaging with themes of socio-political and environmental justice.
