Thrutopia "is the art of writing engaging route-maps through to a world we'd all be proud to leave to future generations." Manda Scott's new book Any Human Power is an amazing exercise in Thrutopia.
Manda and Andrea meet here for the first time to explore transformative ideas beyond traditional dichotomies. This episode delves into shamanic practices, the concept of Thrutopia, and systemic evolution as expressed in Manda's podcast 'Accidental Gods' and her transformative new book 'Any Human Power' which introduces new paths forward, some inspired by frameworks that already exist, like Joanna Macy's Three Pillars of the Great Turning and Riversimple's innovative governance models. The two explore the crucial role of storytelling and community in fostering sustainable change and finding new pathways for leveraging technology thoughtfully and promoting a deeper sense of connectedness for a more inclusive and supportive society.

Rather than dystopia or utopia, thrutopia "is the art of writing engaging route-maps through to a world we'd all be proud to leave to future generations."

Love and Philosophy Beyond Dichotomy started as research conversations across disciplines. There was so much I wanted to explore but I was being told I shouldn't explore beyond certain bounds because it didn't fit into this or that discipline, or because this or that idea was too wild or too uncomfortable or too popular or unpopular, but because I study and work in so many, those barriers just no longer made sense. The same felt true relative to passions and love. So I decided to open myself to all of it beyond traditional distinctions, towards learning and development, so long as love and health were the intentions behind those doing the work I was exploring. This podcast is where those voices gather together in one space as I try and notice the patterns that connect. It's part of my life work and research, but it's also something I hope to share with you and to invite you to share your perspective and position. Thank you for being here.
