• How coronavirus nudged us closer to fascism
• Cultural feedback routes and how America affects Australia
• Working with Indigenous medicine to connect to the spirit
• Navigating the grieving process
• Revolutions of consciousness through the eras
• Our universal connection and sharing of space with each other
• Disinformation and the build-up to our recent election
• Right story versus wrong story and how the truth gets blurred
• All of our relations, human and non-human
