THE SPACESHIP EARTH PODCAST

Bayo is an author, writer, celebrated speaker, teacher, and self-styled trans-public intellectual - whose vocation goes beyond justice and speaking truth to power to opening up other spaces of power-with, and queering fond formulations and configurations of hope.Bayo invites us to see the crises of our times with a post activist, post humanist lens, revealing cracks and bringing much-needed trouble to settled narratives.His writing and speaking is prolific, vital and so generous.His provocations and the invitations that sit under them are not always fully comprehended in our more comfortable human centered cultures of progress which Bayo speaks to with clarity in this conversation.This was a shorter episode recorded online at the end of a slightly frazzling week, but as ever with Bayo this conversation is full of gifts, stunning insight, provocation and fertiliser for navigating these mysterious times.Bayo is one of our special guests on The Remix kicking off in May - a 3 month action learning adventure for story rebels from Becoming crew.Applications open https://www.becomingcrew.com/theremix Get full access to Becoming Crew at becomingcrew.substack.com/subscribe

This beautiful prayer was born during the conversation between V (formerly Eve Ensler) and Bayo Akomolafe - The Promise and Limits of Restitution: Returning to 'Congo' from the Democracy & Belonging Forum.In the spirit of experimentation Bayo invited V to co-create a prayer for this moment, for what this moment calls us to attend to. A prayer for becoming other, for becoming more than human. We were deeply touched not just by the words that emerged but also by the spirit of the invitation and witnessing of the beautiful dance between V and Bayo and all that is present through them. Evva has been sharing the prayer during some of our becoming crew gatherings and it continues to be deeply appreciated.So we made a recording of Evva reading the prayer and added some audio vibes.And with the blessing of V and Bayo we release it into the wild.A true prayer for this moment in time.One for headphones and turning up.If it speaks to you please share.Original talkhttps://www.youtube.com/live/7JgcAqzDbUA?fhttps://www.eveensler.org/https://www.bayoakomolafe.net/ Get full access to Becoming Crew at becomingcrew.substack.com/subscribe

The breaking down Of what was.A clearing of space.For what could be.A grieving of sorts.In a beautiful way.In recent years Autumn had also become a time of unexpected challenge.So this mix is an ode to Autumn and all the feels that I’m feeling right now.Autumnism. 125 BPMPlay loudly, for running, dancing and moving through these darker times.

Hamish Evans is a Permaculturist, Market Gardener, Regenerative Farmer, Community and Climate Activist and Co Founder of MiddleGround Growers and Weston Spring Farm in Bath, Somerset in the UK.Hamish is another extraordinary human, who in his 20’s is bringing inspirational vision, energy, connection and healing to the lands of Bath and the communities here.In this long conversation which is packed with insight from Hamish’s experiences we explored many many threads, including how to shift our grief and despair around climate and ecological action and social justice and direct our own energies towards creating projects with the potential to heal, bring people together and co-create new life sustaining systems. What Hamish calls Prefigurative action - building the future we envision in the belly of the destructive systems.We explore new forms of activism, our relationship to the land around us, repairing our divided cultures and communities through starting with the ground we stand on, food cultivation, exploring shifts in diets and the foods we eat, how to open up land access to young, marginalised and new types of community growers, new forms of small scale regenerative farming, permaculture approaches and collective design processes which are inclusive, radical co-operation and new forms of food systems grounded in place, as bio-regions and shaping new types of local economies. In short - how land itself could be the catalyst for the personal, cultural and systems transformations that are being called for.And we dig into the question - what will it take for a city such as Bath to be able to feed itself when it comes to food security and food poverty and climate challenges ?As we witness now in real time the effects of climate breakdown in the UK, with water shortages, soil degradation and crop failures now finally being talked about in mainstream media, the question of how will we feed ourselves becomes perhaps the post powerful call to action to step into service in these times, and the possibilities here for reimagining and redesigning our relationships with, food, the living world, with the landscapes around us and how we relate to each other is both profound and exciting.Enjoy, share and do leave us some feedback if you can #thespaceshipearthpodcast #becomingcrew #permaculture #regenerativefarming #bioregional #community #food #inservicetolife Get full access to Becoming Crew at becomingcrew.substack.com/subscribe
