What I’ve been up to
I participated in the Extinction Rebellion International Rebellion, where I spent most of my time livestreaming, meditating and singing the songs of the Extinction Rebellion Song Carriers. Here’s a couple of photos that made the press:
I completed the ISTA Level 1 training in Spiritual, Sexual, Shamanic Experience which I highly recommend to anyone who desires to radically improve their relationship with love, sex and gender. (I published a blog post on the Safer Sex Conversation and Wheel of Consent that feature in the course.)
I released a new podcast with Andy Letcher on Psychedelic Druidry
I gave a talk at Fungi Fest on Psilocybin Mushrooms for a Regenerative Society (audio here)
I attended the Redecentralize Conference 2019
I joined School Farm Community Supported Agriculture, a membership farming scheme on the Dartington Estate
I created a public Google Calendar for the Wheel of the Year
I did some research on matched betting, a clever (mathematically risk-free) way of turning the free promotional bets offered by betting companies into real cash
I started an XR Metamodernists Facebook group
I attended the Green Party Autumn Conference and have been involved in local negotiations of the Unite to Remain Remain Alliance
I witnessed the Birth of Death by Joanne Tremarco at Embercombe
I attended Jamie Wheal’s talk Recapture the Rapture and a reception with Jamie and others the following evening on the corporatisation of psychedelics
Books I read:
My plans

New content-focused homepage
In previous newsletters I’ve included a list of links to content that I’ve been reading, watching & listening to. This carefully curated content is now available on my new homepage (complete with images and summaries), my new Facebook page, my Twitter feed or via RSS.
(‘What magic is this?’, I hear you ask! The answer: Feedly & Pocket & Integromat & Airtable & Airrecord 🤓)
Quality content curation takes time. Inspired by Charles Eisenstein, I offer this work as a gift. If you appreciate my efforts, please consider making a donation via crypto, Paypal or my new Patreon page. You could also take a look at my recommended products page (I receive a small commission for most products featured there).
Until next time, with love,
Stephen
