		<title>The radical practice of living in place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You won’t be surprised that, in Kangaroo Valley, where I live some of the time, there are kangaroos. I come across them from time to time on the land around the house, as they jump over or through my fences and hop, hop, thud, thud, crash, crash their way through the vegetation. Or I see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anchoring our fast-paced lives in nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing ever stays the same. Not me, not you. Not mountains, not blades of grass. On the scale of the cosmos and the scale of the atom everything is changing, everything is moving. Not only the things are changing, the relationships between things are constantly changing. There is the constant forward moving energy of life. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can you sense a fall coming?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems to me that there’s a bit of reality emerging through our facade of business as usual. Biodiversity loss. Financial craziness (first banks, now countries). Injustice. Wars. Oil spills. Forest loss. Biodiversity loss. Natural eruptions. Food shortages. Do you sense a fall coming? Some may argue that we are in for a shift rather [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Nature-based Map of Wholeness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We move in and out of balance, we fall in and out of connection with others and ourselves. And that’s OK, since life is a constant process of ebb and flow. But to assist the shift back into balance we all need a practice that will nourish and support our soul, the deepest part of [...]]]></description>

		<title>What creatures are we tonight?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What creatures are we tonight half-lost under starlight barely knowing the way footpad after footpad over the long dry grasses undulations of flank, or thigh? from Lost Poem by David Brooks One of the greatest conceits of humans is that consciousness does not exist past our fingertips. We have become so self-referential and self-enclosed that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The hardest question: who are you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who are you? And how do you define yourself? In our highly industrialised and mechanised culture, it’s difficult, and perhaps impossible, not to be influenced, colonised even, by the foundational beliefs of contemporary Western culture. These beliefs include our hyper-individualised sense of self, the privileged status of reason, the devalued position of feelings and emotion, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar and the destruction of nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have watched Avatar twice now, and both times I have felt deeply sad at the callous destruction of the forest peoples home. Sure, the plot is a bit weak at times, but as this article points out, it is closer to current reality than most people think. The history of colonialism and destruction of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Endings and beginnings &#8230; and bite-sized holiday pieces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The year is fast coming to an end. Well, time never really ends does it? Perhaps we need to challenge a linear, progressive sense of time, and remember when all was aligned with the seasons and rhythms of nature. A time when the circle or spiral was the dominant form of existence, when we weren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>The World behind the World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We live in a world under threat. Almost everybody will agree with that. Our world is beset by crises unimaginable. What is the biggest threat to the world today? Many say climate change, some say population. Others will talk of injustice, water, soil. And these are all enormous problems, and probably beyond the scope of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changing the story: fertility, death and renewal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent discussion I had recently with a friend on food, eating and death (not your usual light-hearted chit chat) I made the comment that we need to understand that we are all food at some point. I expressed the view that I hope that one day my body will feed the soil and [...]]]></description>
