I am taking the time today to  wish peace on Earth. To wish the end of all wars, wherever they are. It saddens me to see Russia invading Ukraine. 

I just wanted to share that the theme music of Alive was composed last year  by an Ukranian musician. Tim Moor  did that to celebrate the 30 years of independence of Ukraine. 

I hope that we all will take a moment of reflection here: Peace on Earth.

Alive is going through a process of  deep transformation. Some would even say metamorphosis.  For this reason we revisit the Butterfly Story  as narrated on Elisabet Sahtouris website. Elisabet bases Butterfly on the book by Norie Huddle who believes humanity urgently needs a new “myth for our times” to inspire us and give us hope for the future. Metamorphosis of the butterfly makes a good metaphor for the great changes globalization, in the sense of world transformation is bringing about.

Episode ends with reading of the “Manifesto for an enchanted life” written by Dr. Sharon Blackie. Sharon works in the interface of psychology, mythology, and ecology. The Enchanted Life is just one of her many books.

Gaia’s Dance, Part I

Conversations with Elisabet Sahtouris, scientist, evolution biologist and futurist. Professor Sahtouris is an international sustainability consultant to businesses, government agencies and other organizations. In her book, Gaia’s Dance, Elisabet Sahtouris describes the scientific story of evolution showing parallels with the ancient Greek story of Earth, while unfolding it scientifically to reveal how our own amazing bodies trace their roots to ancient bacterial cooperatives and how the essence of biological evolution is a repeating maturation process in which youthful competition gives way to mature cooperation. As we learn how our own smart molecule proteins manage our cellular economies, she shows how we ourselves can navigate the perfect storm of crises we face and mature quickly into a healthy, cooperative human future.

Conversations with eco-philosopher Martin Lee Mueller who imagines the world as a salmon might see it and considers how this enriches our understanding of humanity in the process. After writing Being Salmon, Being Human, Martin travels around the world together with Sami joiker and composer Torgeir Vassvik, and other renowned storytellers, to question who we are in relation to the land, the air, and the oceans. These performances share stories of the pancultural encounters between salmon and humans.

Sami are indigenous and nomadic people inhabiting Scandinavia for thousands of years. Joik is a unique form of cultural expression for the Sami people. This type of song can be dedicated to a human being, an animal, or a landscape, and improvisation is common. Joik and Joikers reflect one of the oldest continuous musical traditions in Europe.
