Dreams in the Age of Technology (Voicecraft Live V)
In much of society the contents of dreaming consciousness are sidelined as a strange or comical irrelevance. Yet the dream remains a refuge for the private gnosis of psyche: a domain where rich yet nebulous patterns about the dreamer and the collective psyche compose in mysterious relation. In this accelerating digital age, what role might dreams have to play in the orientation of individual and collective becoming?
Hosted by transformative philosopher Tim Adalin, this is Voicecraft Live: a context for real conversations about matters of profound importance in our time. Welcoming hearts and minds, this participatory experience invites facilitated group conversation intermixed with spotlight dialogues with invited guests who have unique insight to share.
Artificial Intelligence: Wisdom & Power (Voicecraft Live IV)

Hosted by transformative philosopher Tim Adalin, this is Voicecraft Live: a context for real conversations about matters of profound importance in our time. Welcoming hearts and minds, this participatory experience invites facilitated group conversation intermixed with spotlight dialogues with invited guests who have unique insight to share.
The Future of Psychedelics in Australia
In February 2023 Australia legalised the medicinal use of MDMA and psilocybin in specific therapeutic contexts. But what does 'psychedelic' really mean? And what does a truly wise personal and cultural relationship with psychedelics ask of us, individually and collectively?
