Docta Bionix is a rising rap artist from the U.K. who brings a redemptive message of overcoming trails and bringing inspiration into one of the hardest hitting, most oppositional rap genres: drill. I was fascinated to interview Docta Bionix because of the unusual depth of his message. I became aware of his rise early on because of his deep collaboration with producer and engineer Badio in Bournemouth, U.K. (prodbybadio) who was also instrumental in my musical start. We dive into the impact of music on culture and the responsibility of artists. Docta Bionix background stems from hiphop and rap which later led to his involvement in pirate radio stations as an MC. Since his journey began in 2022 He became the platinum and gold award winner for the Koestler awards. Prior to this he continued on his path releasing his first single in May 2023 on GRM daily and other releases also on link up tv. Later that year he participated in the BBC introducing / BBC 1xtra cypher held at the prestigious Maida Vale studios and has numerous spins on stations such as BBC 1xtra, Kiss Fresh and BBC Introducing / Radio Solent.

Encounter cannabis like never before in this unique SENSESPACE Live event. The first hour is a dialogue, the second a sound ceremony where you are welcomed to join us connecting with the transformative power of cannabis. In the dialogue we consider the power of cannabis to connect us to wonder and divinity when used consciously. How it can be a creative tool and open a path of healing and insight which deeply responds to the metacrisis and processes of collective transformation/evolution. The sound ceremony is led by experienced medicine space holder Coryayo using a variety of sound bowls and instruments, overlayed with cosmic visuals by Jacob Kishere. This event opened our eyes to the proufound potentials of conscious cannabis.

It was great to air and explore some of my ongoing thinking through of Love, Marriage and Sex with Michelle Garner of O.G. Rose who brings to bear her philosophical, christian and personal perspectives. We examine the significance of love philosophically and explore how, in a pre-modern context, love, sex and marriage where once self-evidently wedded. We consider the original context of marriage as a triad between two partners and God and how the spirit of marriage and faith both entail a commitment to the unknown. How are christological love and romantic distinct and where does conflation lead to dangerous error? What is sex after the invention of birth control, is casual sex playing with fire in relation to deep coded value systems? How does long term love paradoxically hold together both: the complete givennness of the love commitment and the ever-present possibility of other partners. O.G.

Mahon McCann PhD, podcaster, fighting coach and creator of Wisdom dojo brigs his insights into the development of young men and the meaning crisis to the Resonant Man Dialogues series. We explore the deep need and search for role models as man. That moment in which you realise that you are fully responsible for your outcome and the balance of this with spirituality and finding a wisdom community and mentors to build together. We consider how mens groups can support men in their solitary purpose as well as breaking out of being 'islands' into a collective we. Matthew speaks to the power of being seen in having conquered our fears by other men as representing a key initiation. As well as this, the insufficiency of psychedelics alone for transformation relative to long term projects with accountability. Jacob lays out his metamodern vision in The Resonant Man initiative for the future of man. Responding to a polarised critique of men and forging a way through the a world where men and women mutually support one another in coming into embodied, spiritual and emotional maturity. Want to join a powerful group of men exploring this through practice and presence? Join Matthew Green and Jacob Kishere for the Resonant Man each Sunday starting June 9th.

An interview with my dad Gaz Kishere, a former minister who was involved in the church for 15 years and has since undergone a journey of deconstruction. Today he works professionally as a counsellor, helping others find continued journey and spiritual relationship beyond church. He’s worked for the last 8 years supporting counter-trafficking and refugee projects in Athens Greece, as well as counselling burnt-out humanitarian workers. We explore church’s relationship to rescuer culture and outreach. The 1990’s Toronto awakening. The relationship of the church to disruption and dynamic change. Church leadership as ‘always having an answer’. Church as creating a ‘safe space’ of arrival, rather than journey into unknowing. The unknown as the place where faith lives. Church as self-relating and concerned with perpetuating itself. Contact for Coaching and enquiries at gazkishere(at)gmail.com

What is spiritual warfare and how do we relate to the possibility of malevolent or parasitic energies/entities. What can we do to wage 'spiritual warfare' more effectively; how does spiritual community, cultivation of virtue and having a 'highest' support spiritual warfare. Experiences of spiritual warfare in the plant medicine space. Are dark entities separate or part of God? Distinctions between Christian & Hindu theology of evil. Can we be a vessel for the extension of divine grace to dark/fallen entities? Ken Lowry is an explorer and lover of the Good, the True and the Beautiful. The goal of his channel Climbing Mt Sophia is to share adventures in exploring the Mountain of Wisdom. He has become a key collaborator in Wrestling with Christianity as well as holding ongoing dialogos on the essential virtues with D.C Schindler, Vervaeke and others. @climbingonmt.sophia Jacob Kishere is the creator of 'Culturepilgrim' and host of SENSESPACE.
