Sharing love and connection in small and generous ways

Intimacy with the Essential
Circles, spirals, red lines, ordinariness, the big journey of life, and everything in between. In this episode, Alastair and Laura walk the path together, touching on the art of enough, the energy of rebellion, censorship, overwhelm, what's acute and what's chronic, what's right to feel and do...
-
Confronting devouring ugliness
In this epispode Laura and Alastair return to the horrific nature of our world right now. Themes touched on before, this time more explicitly and confrontingly. This is not inteneded to be easy listening and they have commited to "be at the table" taking this dialogue further in the next episode.
-
What's in a name?
The frames we take, the entanglements we break, the meaning we make... In this episode, Laura and Alastair make some wandering wonderings about language - and how the choices we make, or those that are made for us, shape our identity and so our experience of life too. Do we have any sessions left...
-
Wtaf
A tipping point, a great turning, a defining moment in time. Here we stand, as neighbours, at yet another juncture in our human evolution - in the midst of power struggles, domination, deep sorrow, kindness, greed. So many promises broken and so many not yet made, but ready, too. It's beyond…

Mind the guru!
The ones who present themselves, the ones we seek for safety. The ones offered in slogans and false deities of sacred institutions. No worshipping at the gate here, rather step into the experience of yourself, and notice the disruption to your familiar patterns.

Notes from the Middle
Borders, centres, and the places in inbetween... Our capacities to pull apart, our innate desire for weaving together... What does it all mean to us, as animals with primal urge and as modern day humans with consciousness and choices too? How do we stand in the places that enable life to flow…

From baselines to thresholds

Blade and Balm

-
Silence is Golden
The silence, the pause, the gap, thespace between… What if in absence of noise is where we actually get up 'hear' the most? 'No meditation better clears the mind than to listen to the shape of the silence that surrounds us. It focuses us on the thin line between what is there and what is not…

Not knowing how to do it and being here
Torn, ranting, searching, in this 10th episode with Laura and Alastair their conversation travels through the contractions of the world, and opens to the need for expansiveness: ordinariness, and the magical nature of what is right in front of us, underneath our feet and in the air around and...

The Wheel Turns
As the cards reveal themselves, the territory is laid out before us... so the Magician drops in, and the spell is cast. A wild ride today through 'fate' - what life gives us, 'destiny' - what we do with it, and how we might embody our magic to claim our place in the order of things - co-creating...

The intimate gift of the gap
What drives the human need to always 'fill the gap?' And what can spring forth, instead, by staying with it? Another poetic musing from Laura and Alastair - this time about the essential, fertile, abundant nature of the space-between - the place where intimacy is born, and the ground from which...

Hands in the Frog Pool
Episode four of No Gurus in this Temple is a dance across seasonal energies, from intensity to rested possibility.

Unfinished Tenderness
