Episode 85 - Adah Parris - Cyborg Shamanism, Becoming Future Ancestors & Embracing Neurodiversity

In this episode I’m in conversation with Adah Parris - keynote speaker, futurist,  visionary artist, and activist who inspires transformative change through her practice.

Adah is working with many inquires - including ‘Cyborg Shamanism’ and the provocation ‘What kind of ancestor do you want to be ?’

And we dig into this and much more in this conversation.

This is also a conversation which explores the essence of diversity - of wider intelligences, of sensing the world differently and of co-creating different futures. 

A conversation between two late diagnosed neurodiverse people, we explore what happens when we challenge normativity, drawing on other forms of creative intelligence, what do we find along the path when we're walking on the edges of normal?

We Explore

  • Personal and collective responsibility towards climate change and the actions necessary for a more regenerative future.

  • Emotional and mental health in the face of conflict and crisis.

  • Experiences of ADHD and Autism, challenging ‘normativity’ and the impact and potential of diversity in shaping our future

  • Creating change through remembering our rootedness to the Earth

  • ‘Cyborg shamanism’ - blending technology, storytelling and spirituality for better understanding relationships, interconnectedness and planetary consciousness.
