Autumn Edition 2023 # 241.Autumn is a season for balancing light and dark, letting go and accepting the impermanence of things. A time to reflect, release and receive. In this edition we explore the role of the ancient masters and their influence on the shamans of today. A Near Death Experience (NDE) segment asks the question: ‘Does consciousness extend beyond death’. Ecovillages are in the spotlight in two articles: An experiential piece ‘Living Intentionally in an Ecovillage’ and another, ‘Living and Loving Life’. Globally people are grappling with loneliness, isolation and, very often, food insecurity. Living in an intentional, traditional urban community enhances the social culture, alleviating many of these challenges. Our ‘Wavelength’ guest column brings home the stark reality of mental health. Home, parenting and relationships covers a vast range of topics including: Cultivated meat - a most contentious issue - conscious parenting and conflict resolution and intimacy beyond sexuality.
