An afternoon with Daniel Pinchbeck

moderated by Peter Maravelis

Through his Liminal News Podcast, Daniel Pinchbeck has been on a mission to interview a broad range of thinkers from sociologists to dark enlightenment theorists, Jewish psychedelic buddhists to economic anthropologists, political commentators to engineers and scientists. Join us as we explore the the emerging themes forming the zeitgeist of our times.

Daniel Pinchbeck explores ideas from systems thinkers, esoteric traditions, shamanism, as well as contemporary social theory. He believes we are moving away from an obsolete materialist paradigm and toward a new/ancient understanding which reveals consciousness as our fundamental reality. He addresses the ecological and existential crises facing humanity by integrating ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technologies and regenerative practices. He aims to inspire a new ethos that blends spiritual awareness with proactive, sustainable solutions to create a world that honors all forms of life and leads to a more harmonious and just planetary community.
