Nipun Mehta – Who Must We Be?
”We need to move from transaction to relationship.” Nipun Mehta brings us on a transcendental journey to find our compassionate selves. Through the transforming story of his walking pilgrimage across India, Nipun kicks off by sharing his three key values: success, service and stillness. Further life snippets trigger us to ask ourselves fundamental questions such as “Where did you learn to be good?” or “Who must we be to walk towards futures we cannot imagine?” For one thing is certain, Nipun loves life and the humans that constitute it. He generously shares with the audience the guiding statements shaping his daily life, work and service, as they are all intertwined. By taking inspiration from figures of compassion and wisdom such as Mother Teresa, Gandhi or Desmond Tutu, he insists that creating a “we-to-we” community centred around our relationship to the other rather than the value involved in the transaction process will make us all more complete humans. As he concludes, “we are not merely what we do but we become who we are by what we do”. A true lesson of community, service and humility to help us navigate the unknown of tomorrow.
A Conversation Between Iain McGilchrist and David Bentley Hart
On the mind, the structure of the brain, the structure of life, the arts, perceptions of reality, the pervasiveness of consciousness… Scientist, physician, psychiatrist, writer, literary scholar, and philosopher Iain McGilchrist is as genial as his work is fascinating.

He is, moreover, almost aggressively sane. https://davidbentleyhart.substac…

HOPI PROPHECY – Two Paths: Destruction or Survival
We are at a crossroads. One path leads to destruction. The other is living together in harmony with nature. Ancient Hopi Prophecy interpreted by Hopi religious elders Thomas Banyacya and Grandfather David Monongye.
Videotaped in 1972 by Dean and Dudley Evenson at the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden. The last part of the video shows Thomas Banyacya in 1993 at a Dalai Lama event in Tucson, Arizona where Dean and Dudley caught up with him almost 20 years after the first video.
Stewart Brand, founder of the Whole Earth Catalog, had sponsored 15 Native Americans to attend the first United Nations Earth Summit in Stockholm to share their message about Mother Earth for the diplomats and young people gathered there. Dean and Dudley were there with their half-inch Sony Video Portapack to videotape events in and around the conference. The Native Americans they met inspired them to share the message about respecting and caring for the planet. In 1979 Dean and Dudley founded their record label, Soundings of the Planet, with a mission of Peace Through Music and planetary healing.
