Speaking Stones: From Flint to Silicon – Dreaming with Ancient Technologies in a Modern World

This episode explores the evolution of human technologies through our relationship with stone — from the ancient arts of firestone flintknapping and megalithic monument building, to designing silicon chips and AI.If we can bypass our boggle thresholds, I wonder how we might tune into the frequency of stones, and listen for the messages they may be holding for receptive humans.Sharing stories of my embodied experience with flintknapping, and a series of dreams with these ancient technologies, we’ll reflect on how our intentionality, discernment, and consent can shape our relationships with technology in this digital age - and ask what it truly means to be human in a modern world.Show notes | References | Resources:Bareham, Tristan – Railway Land: Ancient Skills series https://www.railwaylandproject.org/adult-learningHunter, Dr. Jack – Imaginal Ecologies lecture series https://jack-hunter.yourwebsitespace.com McCabe, Pat - The Science of Right Relations - Sacred Masculine, Sacred Feminine, & Divine Consent Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed.
