Stories for a Living Future with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
Over the last three years Sufi teacher Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee has written a number of stories about returning our consciousness to the living Earth, a numinous world alive in both matter and spirit. As we travel through the darkening days of the present time there is a primal need to find a pathway back to this landscape, experienced through our senses and our dreams. These stories are both simple and radical, simple because they describe what is already around us, the wind in the trees, water flowing over stones. Radical because they point to a fundamentally different quality of consciousness, which belongs to both our distant past and our possible future. Presented here as a series, these stories are an opportunity to become immersed in this landscape, physical and imaginal, and through this shift in awareness to be able to walk towards a living future. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee is a Sufi teacher who has specialized in dreamwork and Jungian psychology. He is author of numerous books on Sufism and spiritual responsibility in our present time of transition, including "For Love of the Real" and "Seasons of the Sacred," and editor of the anthology "Spiritual Ecology: The Cry of the Earth." His most recent book is "Seeding the Future: A Deep Ecology of Consciousness." For more information, or to read a transcript of each episode, please visit: https://workingwithoneness.org/podcast/

Welcome to Stories for a Living Future, Series Two: From the Edge of the World, a Podcast with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
The first series of Stories for a Living Future focused on returning our consciousness to the living Earth, a deep ecology of consciousness which includes an awareness of the magical nature of creation. An awareness I believe is necessary if the future is to become fully alive. In this second series I reflect on the changes happening in our world, not just the ecological, political or social changes, but the deeper, primal changes that will shape the coming decades and even centuries, changes that belong to the end of one era and the birthing of a new era, a new relationship with the Earth forming amidst the wasteland of our present time.
Living at the edge of the world, beside the ocean, I am also present inwardly where the two seas meet, where the inner and outer worlds come together. Here, in the space between worlds, between stories, where everything is uncertain, there are patterns forming, forces constellating that will determine our collective destiny and how the future will be written. Watching these patterns allows us to participate in this changing inner landscape, as well as to walk with awareness into the future, the living moment unfolding around us.
The podcasts in Series Two tell the same story in different ways: a reawakening of oneness and earth magic, the forces that oppose this shift, and the transformation of the Earth Herself.
Watching at the Edge of the World, the first podcast in this series will be released next week, and then afterwards a new podcast every two weeks.
