Great podcast Lou. Well done. It has impact. Like the way you mix in field recordings with interview to help us 'be there and care' . Keep up the good work.

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

Earth Sessions 22.04.22  - Love for Mother (Earth) - Dan Solo in the mix

In this special episode* I bring together recordings from the Athabasca river with voices from Indigenous land & water protectors and members of the Canadian organisation 'Keepers of the Water'. After decades of extracting bitumen (a form of crude oil) in Northern Alberta, the toxic wastewater from the mining activities is starting to become a problem... 

But the federal and provincial governments of Canada, together with industry, have a solution: they want to change domestic law to legalize the release of the tailings ponds (the residual wastewater from the mining operations) into the Athabasca river. 

This river directly feeds into the Mackenzie River Basin, which is known as the Amazon of the North: the largest watershed in Canada and the most intact large scale ecosystem on the continent.

🎤  Hear from Melody Lepine, Tori Cress, Daniel T’seleie and Paul Belanger, as they all shared their concerns as part of a press conference at the latest UN biodiversity conference -COP15- last December in Tio'tià:ke, Montreal. The press conference was organised by Environmental Defence Canada and Keepers of the Water. 

🐦 The more-than-human voices are the Athabasca river and various animals recordings provided by the sound library of the Yellowstone National Park (as these species are also endemic to the Wood Buffalo National Park): red-winged blackbird, Wilson's snipe, warbling vireo, bald eagle, western meadow lark, common loon, savannah sparrow, sandhill crane, bison and wolves.

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

Episode 41 - Amisha Ghadiali - The Future is Beautiful

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.
