Accidental Gods - The Thrutopian Podcast

How can be rebuild trust in politics, politicians and each other? How would it feel to be free of partisan divisions?  Could we heal our world in time?  Braver Angels is dedicated to helping people bridge divides - to find the better angels of themselves and each other. 

Braver Angels - originally Better Angels - came into being after the divisive nightmare of the 2016 Presidential Election in the US.  It began with a group of people in a barn in South Lebanon Ohio and has since spread to 20,000 people around the US, with chapters in other nations around the world.  Their skill - their superpower - is to bring the social and humane technologies originally created to help bring together couples on the brink of the most acrimonious divorces.  With skills in listening and a good dose of empathy, they help us to see the humanity in each other and so find the best of ourselves to bring to the table.
 
John Wood Jr is an Ambassador for Braver Angels and has been working in the depths of the partisan divide.  In this podcast episode, he shares the experience and wisdom of his journey, and that of the Braver Angels project.

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.
