Conversations around confronting the climate crisis often focus on what we will lose in moving from an “age of abundance” to a time of austerity and scarce resources. But what about what we stand to gain in these times of transformation—and how we might challenge the ways that we are currently impoverished? Writer Rebecca Solnit, celebrated author and editor of the forthcoming book “Not Too Late,” and beloved Buddhist teacher Roshi Joan Halifax, a contributor to Not Too Late, explore the new realities we are facing at this time as well as the powerful possibilities before us—and how to manage our emotions through it all. As Rebecca writes: It is not too late.
In this conversation, Tricycle’s Publisher, Sam Mowe, sat down with Roshi Joan Halifax and Rebecca Solnit to discover a radical view of transforming our sense of impoverishment to hope, connection, and faith in our shared future.

Telepathy and teleportation: natural abilities?
Live recording 2, Modelhof, 15.11.2022, Christina’s view on the pineal gland, on which powers are behind current events, and how the increase in the vibration of the Earth affects our consciousness.
PHYSICS IS WRONG w/ Dr. Wolfgang Smith
This is a heady one. We sit down with super scientist Dr. Wolfgang Smith who went to Cornell at the age of 15, taught at MIT, studied with Sadhus in the Himalayas, published the first theoretical solution NASA’s re-entry problem and he’s here to say… physics is wrong.
The Living Universe – Documentary about Consciousness and Reality | Waking Cosmos
Since the time of Plato, the human understanding of the universe has moved through two epoch-defining paradigms. These are the view of the universe as a great mind, moving into the view of the universe as a great machine. Today there are signs that the modern mind is moving towards an organismic view of the universe, apprehended as an evolving, self-generating, and ultimately living process. This film is based on an essay I wrote for my philosophy master’s degree, inspired by the work of, among others, Brian Swimme, Thomas Berry, Thomas Nagel, and Richard Tarnas.
What The Bleep Do We Know!? – Down The Rabbit Hole
The extended edition of the cult documentary that brought quantum physics into conversation with consciousness, perception, and the question of how far the observer shapes reality. Interviews with physicists and mystics alike make it a provocative, if controversial, gateway into the participatory universe.
Myth of myself – Alan Watts
Alan Watts dismantles the West’s most persistent illusion: that each of us is a skin-encapsulated ego confronting an alien universe. In his inimitable style, Watts shows that you are not something that came into the world — you are something the world is doing.
Two contemporary voices in evolutionary and non-dual spirituality meet in conversation, testing their perspectives on awakening, the emerging self, and what spiritual life demands in our era. A candid exchange between two very different temperaments of inquiry.
Are memories stored in brains? -Rupert Sheldrake & Alex Gómez-Marín
After more than a hundred hours of private conversations on Zoom, Rupert and physicist turned neuroscientist Alex Gómez-Marín meet in person to discuss some of their favourite themes.
In this installment, they address the problem of memory localization.
Rather than taking for granted that memories are “stored” inside our heads and rushing to speculate about where and how, they instead entertain the idea that memories could be both everywhere and nowhere in particular — memories are in time, not in space.
To make such thoughts more thinkable, they discuss the recurrent historical failures to find actual memory traces in brains and bring forth some of the pioneering ideas of the French philosopher Henri Bergson in the context of current neuroscience.
They also discuss concrete experiments to test such hypotheses and reflect more widely on the nature of form and the idea that the laws of nature may be more like habits than eternal edicts. They end by discussing the need for scientific pluralism.
