Accidental Gods - The Thrutopian Podcast

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.'  As our world burns ever faster and our politicians cling ever more desperately to the old ways of being and behaving, Sophie Miller of Ocean Rebellion commits her creativity, artistry and courage to bringing truth to power. 

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 inspiring podcast, she describes the practical - and spiritual - path that has brought her to this place and this time - as an activist who understands the damage done to the Oceans -and that there is still time to change what we're doing.   We discuss the nature of policing, of totalitarianism - and the ways we can transcend the crushing forces of authority to bring something deeper and more profound to our world.   This is the first of two parts. Next week, we'll be back to find out how the activism transpired and where we all go from here.

What is Accidental Gods - The Thrutopian Podcast?

Another World IS still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose - and now it's collapsing around us. So how do we co-create a Thrutopian future that we'd all be proud to leave as our legacy?

What stories can we weave of possibility? Of transformation? What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity?

What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that really matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves, between ourselves and each other, between ourselves and the Web of Life - so that we can reclaim our birthright as self-conscious nodes in the web of life?

We can do this. Some of us already are. Every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being, courageous pathfinders who are exploring the emergent edge of inter-becoming.

As a species, we have all the answers, we just haven't yet crafted all the new stories and woven them into a future that works. 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.

Accidental Gods is a podcast and membership program devoted to exploring the ways we can create a future that we would be proud to leave to the generations yet to come.
