Hello, I'm Morag. Welcome to this episode of Sense-making in a Changing World podcast - a project of the Permaculture Education Institute . This is a special episode as part of the International Permaculture Festival of Ideas

I invite you to join me each week in conversation with leading permaculture-related educators, thinkers, activists, authors, designers and practitioners to explore the kind of thinking AND ACTION we need to navigate a positive and regenerative way forward, to myceliate possibilities, and share ideas of what a thriving one-planet way of life could look like.

This week I am joined by Dr Amelie Vanderstock (AKA Amelie Ecology) and get to share two of her amazzz-ing new songs from her debut album, Let's Bee Scientists.

Amelie is a pollinator ecologist, musician and permaculture educator from the Blue Mountains, Australia on Dharug and Gundungurra country.

She creates songs inspired by the wonders of native bees and the natural world and invites science lovers young and old to be curious and sow seeds of change.

Amelie has performed in schools and festivals across Australia, Europe and Japan including Woodford Folk Festival and Green Gathering (UK).

As an ecologist, Amelie researches the role of community gardens and urban greenspaces for promoting pollinating insect biodiversity. She also designs educational programs that connect youth with local ecology, inviting them to be co-creators of ecological research.

The most pressing question in these uncertain times may be how can we bring healing and protection to the Earth?

Join me this episode the explore this question that Cynthia Jurs carried with her in 1990 as she climbed a path high in the Himalayas, to meet an “old wise man in a cave”—a venerated lama from Nepal. This question is the centre for both her work, her book, 'Summoned by the Earth', and our conversation - sharing her journeys around the world, from Australian Indigenous communities to the USA. And Cynthia's way of reaching the answer is through practice and acknowledging the importance of listening to the Earth and developing a relationship with nature - to go outside, connect with the natural world, and ask how you can be of service.

Cynthia became a dharma teacher (Dharmacharya) in the Order of Interbeing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 1994 and in 2018, was made an honorary lama in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in recognition of her dedication in carrying out the Earth Treasure Vase practice. Inspired by thirty years of pilgrimage into diverse communities and ecosystems, today Cynthia is forging a new path of dharma in service to Gaia—a path deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous cultures, and devoted to collective awakening. Cynthia leads meditations, retreats, courses, and pilgrimages to support the emergence of a global community of engaged and embodied sacred activists. You can find her offerings at www.GaiaMandala.net and her book at www.SummonedByTheEarth.org.
