Episode notes

I feel like this moment that we're in is pregnant with change, with waking up really. And people are doing this all kinds of different ways. There's a political awakenings, there's psychedelic awakenings,. There's spiritual awakenings. People are questioning things and they can see that the system that we'm in is destitute and doesn't work and needs to go. Our job is to try and make that as positive as we can. That's so glorious, thank you.

Eva is a climate activist, process designer and facilitator. She has co-convened the Transformative Conflict for Transition Network summit, supports sociocratic system development, decision-making and facilitation in many contexts including Extinction Rebellion Scotland.
Justin is an anthropologist and activist from Edinburgh. He is a member of Extinction Rebellion Scotland. Since 2009, has worked with the Forest Peoples Programme, supporting communities to secure their community lands and determine their own futures.

Long term friends of the podcast, Eva and Justin live and work right at the leading edge of change, exploring and testing ways to help people move into the flowing, more vulnerable, less triggered spaces that allow for genuine inner change, and therefore change in our outer relationships. The spaces this work creates are essential to the move to a future where people and planet flourish.

In this first Accidental Gods podcast of 2023, we explore the things that make our hearts sing, and the ways Eva and Justin's work is transforming communities around the world, with a particular emphasis on their homeland of Scotland, where Independence feels a breath away.
