  • Beautiful Bees with Karmit Even-Zur

    Beautiful Bees with Karmit Even-Zur
    Nov 12 2025
    In an inspiring episode, Clive talks to storyteller, geomancer and longtime beekeeper and bee lover Kamit Even-Zur about what honeybees may teach us about oneness and heart-led living. Karmit explains the remarkable decision making, co-operation and 'we-consciousness' shared by this extraordinary animal, with each hive acting as though one creature or superorganism in its intricate work of mutual protection, nurturing, feeding and survival. We look at what their collective working may teach us about cooperation, heart-centred communication, and selfless care. We also consider the usual conflict between the natural lives of bees and commercial beekeeping practices, and reflect upon the spiritual and practical lessons bees offer us human beings, inviting us to a deeper connection within our homes and communities and integration of some profound spiritual wisdom into our lives.

  • Aftermath in Alaska: Typhoon Halong's Lasting Devastation

    Aftermath in Alaska: Typhoon Halong's Lasting Devastation
    Nov 6 2025
    Today, we examine the unprecedented destruction brought last month by Typhoon Halong to Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, reflecting on the storm's aftermath in the weeks since it made landfall. We highlight the massive crisis the displaced Indigenous communities are facing, which may prove to be truly an existential one. As always, we look at how we might empathise with those needing our prayers and intentions, and suggest where these may be specifically focused. Prayers and intentions start at 22 minutes 37 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on the major devastation brought about by the recent flooding in Alaska, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that those who have lost all or most of their homes, possessions, and livelihoods as a result of Typhoon Halong will be held in light, guided to know how to move forward and opened to sources of help available to them. Please join us in holding this.

  • Syria After Assad: Crisis, Collapse, and the Call for Healing

    Syria After Assad: Crisis, Collapse, and the Call for Healing
    Oct 16 2025
    In this episode we examine Syria’s deepening humanitarian and political crisis 10 months after the fall of the Assad regime: fractured governance, mass displacement, collapsing healthcare and education systems, severe food insecurity, and threats to religious minorities. The country faces one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, yet virtually no one seems to be listening. We outline the immense and diverse scale of Syria's needs, the gaps in international response, and offer suggestions for where we may focus our intentions and prayers, including for inclusive governance, protection for minorities, aid and reconstruction, and healing between the country's communities. Prayers and intentions begin at 18 minutes 50 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as the scale of challenges facing Syria following the dramatic fall of the Assad regime last December is almost overwhelming, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all international actors who are able will be moved to increase humanitarian aid, lift sanctions that hinder reconstruction, and coordinate investment for Syria's rapid and comprehensive recovery. Please join us in holding this.

  • I Don't Like Mondays: America’s Mass Shooting Crisis

    I Don't Like Mondays: America’s Mass Shooting Crisis
    Oct 10 2025
    Today we turn our attention to the alarming persistence of mass shootings in the United States, which now occur at a level never seen before. We reflect upon recent incidents, causes, and the broad impacts on victims, families, and communities. We question why the USA stands out among all nations as seeing so many tragedies, and why civilian gun ownership in the States constitutes almost half the world total. As always, we suggest guided intentions, prayers, and practical focus areas for collective healing and advocacy. Intentions and prayers start at 25 minutes. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we take stock of the shocking prevalence of mass shooting events in the US, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that educators, community leaders and legislators across all US states will have wisdom to guide policy, advocacy and teaching that will support nonviolence and significantly reduce or eliminate gun violence, while respecting and winning the support of those who continue to strongly advocate for their Second Amendment right to defend themselves. Please join us in holding this. Chapter markers: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:36 The Reality of Mass Shootings 00:06:55 Why Are Mass Shootings Prevalent in the USA? 00:12:11 The Role of Gun Ownership 00:17:01 Factors Behind Mass Shootings 00:19:25 Impact on Victims and Families 00:22:16 Community Responses and Healing 00:24:28 Intentions and Prayers Note: This episode’s title refers to the 1979 Boomtown Rats song ‘I don’t like Mondays,’ about the Cleveland Elementary School shooting in San Diego of the same year.

  • Global Healing Response: Integrity

    Global Healing Response: Integrity
    Oct 2 2025
    This week, we explore the theme of integrity, this year's final quarter focus for Global Healing Response. We consider what integrity really means, sharing personal reflections, and examining its role in leadership, politics, business, and in facing vital global challenges. As always, we offer suggestions for our prayers and intention-holding, and conclude with a beautiful guided meditation to inspire integrity both for ourselves and for those who lead and have influence in our communities, workplaces and governments. Prayers and intentions start at 18 minutes 50 seconds. The meditation on integrity starts at 23 minutes 45 seconds.

  • Holding Light for Gaza and Israel: Intentions for Hostages and Civilians

    Holding Light for Gaza and Israel: Intentions for Hostages and Civilians
    Sep 25 2025
    Today we review the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the ongoing hostage situation as the second anniversary of their abduction from Israel approaches. We take stock of recent military actions, civilian suffering, and the stalled peace efforts, before asking what we may actually pray and have focused intentions for in what appears to be a dire situation in which both sides in the conflict are determined to continue fighting. Intentions and prayers start at 8 minutes 40 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as attacks intensify, famine and massive casualties escalate, and peace prospects appear to be fading ahead of the second anniversary of hostages being abducted into Gaza and the bitter war that followed, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that countless miracles will happen to enable the survival and wellbeing of both the hostages captured by Hamas who remain in captivity and all in Gaza who now fear for their lives. Please join us in holding this.

  • National Guard in Chicago? A City on Edge

    National Guard in Chicago? A City on Edge
    Sep 18 2025
    This week we examine US President Donald Trump's continuing threat to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, explaining the legal, political, and community contexts, and how the prospect is being faced up to by state, city and civil groups concerned for their liberties. While presenting the facts as we understand them, we also take an editorial perspective, focussing on local fears about the threat and against the backdrop of an uneasy rhetoric among some political figures and social media influencers in the wake of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. As always, we invite listeners to join us in holding intentions and offering prayers for wisdom, protection, and unity as the situation unfolds. Intentions and prayers start at 23 minutes 10 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as Chicago braces itself for a possible uncertain period of civil unease, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that wise heads will prevail in the White House among those who have the ear to advise the President on the real incidence of crime in Chicago, and the wisdom or otherwise of deploying the National Guard into the city. Please join us in holding this.
