Exploring Holarchy As A Practical Living Alternative (A Christopagan practice of Fractal Kinship)

In a world shaped by hierarchies, is there a better way to live out the sacred? This episode explores holarchy. A living, spiraling web of sovereignty and kinship. Where every circle holds both power and responsibility. How do we build communities that honor the dignity of each, without losing the strength of the whole? Join us as we move beyond thrones and ladders, toward a practice of sacred, ever-unfolding relationship. Reimagine what it means to belong and to build together.Thanks for reading!

Holons & Hidden Systems (A Christopagan practice of Fractal Kinship)

This episode explores the mystical, fractal truth that each of us is both a whole being and a part of countless larger circles: family, community, cosmos. Journey with us into the language of holons, nested selves, and emergent systems, and discover why seeing reality this way can transform not only your sense of belonging, but the very stories we tell about meaning, justice, and change. The invitation? To awaken to the subtle, hidden flows that bind all things so we can shape new, life-giving patterns together.Thanks for reading!

Finding the Third Story and Shape the World (A Christopagan practice of Fractal Kinship)

We are living through a meaning crisis. Lost between the old tales of our ancestors and the cold data of science.

How can we restore connection and purpose in a fragmented world? Join us as we journey beyond the binaries and discover how to make meaning together in a world alive with thought.www.fractalkinship.comThanks for reading!

A World of Living Thought Called The Noosphere (A Christopagan practice of Fractal Kinship)

This episode invites you into the mystery of the Noosphere: the emerging web of mind that connects us all. From ancient myths to AI and internet memes, we’ll explore how our thoughts ripple through the living world and why spiritual awareness matters more than ever.

Saints, Devotion, Miracles, and Relationships - Working with Holy Allies

Saints are more than statues or names in stained glass. They’re living spiritual allies, ancestors of faith who still answer when called. In this episode, we explore how saints cross the boundaries of history and myth, and what it means to build real relationships with these holy companions. What is the difference between devotion and worship? How do you know which saint is truly meant for you? Join us for stories, reflections, and practical insights as we invite the saints to walk alongside us guiding, surprising, and sometimes challenging us on the path.Thanks for reading!
