In a world that is literally burning, with politicians whose positions of power are predicated on their not listening, what are the most creative, thoughtful, caring people on the planet doing to bring about change? Sophie Miller of Ocean and Extinction Rebellions was an integral part of the stunningly impressive actions at the G7 summit earlier this summer. In this second of two parts, she reflects on her experience - and looks ahead to future actions.
Sophie Miller trained at Central St Martins before moving on to a decade-long career in television design. Now, she gives her time and energy to Extinction Rebellion as a Red Rebel - and to Ocean Rebellion, of which she is a co-founder. She lives in Cornwall, and so when she discovered that the first post-Covid G7 summit was taking place in her country and her county, she had to ask.
In this week's second inspiring podcast, she describes what it actually takes to mount a successful action in the current political climate. She talks of the growing support from all aspects of the Fourth Estate and - movingly - of the practical - and spiritual - path that has brought her to this place and this time.
She speaks as an activist who understands the damage done to the Oceans, knowing that there is still time to change what we're doing.
We discuss the nature of policing, of totalitarianism - and the ways we can all work to transcend the crushing forces of authority to bring something deeper and more profound to our world.

What is Accidental Gods ?
The old paradigm is breaking apart. The new one is still not fully shaped.
If we're going to emerge into a just, equitable - and above all regenerative - system, we need to meet the people who are already living, working, thinking and believing at the leading edge of inter-becoming transformation.
Accidental Gods exists to bring these voices to the world so that we can all step forward into a future we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.
We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system.
Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future.
