Video Teachings
Ten years of talks, conversations and guided journeys, gathered here so you can sit with them in your own time
Perhaps you have read a few of the pages here and found yourself wanting to hear the voice behind them, because a page carries the teaching and a voice carries the feeling underneath it, and the feeling is where this work lives. For me, that is the whole reason I turned a camera on. I have a tendency to speak past the intellect and really speak more to the cells, and the cells hear a voice long before they read a sentence, so when people gathered to ask the big questions with me, in Far North Queensland in 2018, from Bali through 2020 and 2021 and in the online circles that met each week, I pressed record so that whoever came later could sit in the room with us.
A recording performs a function with purpose the way a tree or a feeling does, and the function of these ones is simple to name, since they are seeds of hope that come with an instruction manual, spoken in a room full of people who were willing to receive me, so these talks are as much theirs as mine. Each one has a page it grew from, which is why the writings the talks grew from sit gathered in the Temple, seven pillars holding the same teaching in the written hand.
Every video opens with a press of the gold button, and the order below runs the way the work itself runs, from the ground it stands on to the five imprints and out into community, forest and union, so you can follow whichever thread is calling you today. Where do you feel called? Is it the ground the whole work stands on? Is it the Will and what sovereignty runs on? Is it the story of your own birth? Is it the forest floor, or the people we grow beside? New talks arrive on the YouTube channel first and take their place here as they come.
Bali Wisdom and the threefold harmony
Four talks to begin with
These four talks lay the ground the rest of the work grows from, and they are the ones I point people to first.
Seeing life through the Syntropic lens
Through April and May 2021 we met each week to look at one part of life through the Syntropic lens, and these hour-long gatherings carry the whole of that spring.
Sovereignty and the Will it runs on
Sovereignty begins inside, with the Will we were born carrying, and these talks follow how that Will was gathered up by conditioning and how it comes home to us again.
Birth, the five imprints and the way home
The way we arrive in this world shapes the way we meet it, and these talks walk from birth through the five primary imprints toward the return to wholeness.
Growing community together
Much of this work was born in community, and these conversations carry what we learned living, planting and healing side by side.
From the forest floor to the human heart
Syntropic Agroforestry is where I first saw Syntropy with my own eyes, and the forest keeps teaching how the same pattern lives in us.
Union and the living feminine
These recordings turn toward union, between masculine and feminine and between people and the place they call home.
Dreaming anew together
Three minutes to close with, dreaming a new world into being alongside the people who gathered for it.
Letting the listening work
If a talk stirred something in you, let it keep working while you walk, because the Syntropic Wisdom podcast carries many of these recordings as audio for the road and the kitchen, and the listening does its own quiet work in the cells long after the screen goes dark. I share these so that life can lead us, so that what moved in you has somewhere to go, and so that when you feel ready to walk a stretch of it with me, or to write to me about what a talk opened, you arrive already knowing my voice. I am getting infected by all of this life a little more every year, and that is what I hope for you too.
