Accidental Gods

How would the world flourish if our politics were based on trust?  And how can we make that happen?  Eva and Justin are co-creating the 'ReWorlding' online conference in late May and we came together to explore how even the making of this has been an exploration of what it is to be human, to trust, to grow and to dare to be different. 

Eva and Justin were guests of podcast 44 [https://accidentalgods.life/re-democratising-democracy/] - in which we explored the links between personal and collective trauma -and they outlined the work they were doing in Scotland to build towards a constitutional convention that would help to weave new democratic structures for an independent Scotland. 

Now they are weaving a new Gathering into being - an online week, bringing together people from all over the world to find new ways to be human in the 21st century - ways that will take us forward into a world that is regenerative for the human and more than human worlds. 

In their own words: 

"Reworlding is asking: how can we develop new decision making processes - and integrate with enduring ones - in order to collectively create a decolonised, just, empathic and regenerating world at every level?
This is not a call to get involved in politics. This is a call to help create a new politics.

Reworlding will bring together people who have:
  • experience of working with their own and others’ trauma, and/ or
  • experience of decision making systems that seek to enable a mutual world, and/ or
  • experience of resisting domination to protect and enable a just and regenerative world

This week is an exploration, a scouting out of what is already happening, and a searching ahead: imagining and working towards assembling a politics of wholeness, including through deepening our awareness of what colonises within and between us - and what liberates us."

What is Accidental Gods ?

Another World is still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose and now it has gone - it is never coming back.

We have the power of gods to destroy our home. But we also have the chance to become something we cannot yet imagine,
and by doing so, create a future we would be proud to leave to the generations yet unborn.

What happens if we commit to a world based on the values we care about: compassion, courage, integrity?

What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves (so we have to do the inner work of healing individually and collectively), between ourselves and each other (so we have to do the outer work of relearning how to build generative communities) and between ourselves and the Web of Life (so we have to reclaim our birthright as conscious nodes in the web of life)?

We can do this - and every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being. We have all the answers, we just lack the visions to weave them into a future that works. We can make this happen. We will. Join us.

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.

If we're going to emerge into a just, equitable - and above all regenerative - future, we need to get to know 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 work together to lay the foundations of a world 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.
