G’day generous subscribers,
I hope this finds you well. I have some special news: the launch of live podcast gatherings, this Solstice, with the legendary Fred Provenza.
I’ve looked forward to doing this for so long. It’s just proven too hard while on the road. And the road kept stretching out while we were on it. That’s made for some great stories, with many still to come, and one of them was meeting Fred at his place in Montana while in the US, which has led to a deepening friendship, and this opportunity.
Fred was on the pod a few years ago for ep123, The Wisdom Body: Fred Provenza on a paradigm change in animal, human & planetary health.
And two years ago, on the northern Summer Solstice, he stood on the back of a truck in a field at the Old Salt Festival in Montana, and gave a now famous talk called Cosmic Dreaming. The organiser Cole Mannix said he’d have run the festival for that alone (in a heartfelt and uncanny end to ep217).
The talk has been in demand ever since, and has continued to evolve. In fact, Fred nearly made it to the recent Grounded Festival in Australia to offer the latest version, but not quite. So I asked him if he’d share a reading with us live online, with a conversation afterwards, on the second anniversary of its first run. He was only too happy to!
So I’d like to invite you paid subscribers to join me and Fred, at 10.30am Saturday 20th AEST / 6.30pm Friday 19th MDT, June 2026, for approximately 90 minutes.
I’ll send a link closer to the date. No need to RSVP, just join in if you’d like. Some parts of it will likely become a podcast afterwards, and/or be available to paid subscribers as a recording later. But for the live experience with Fred, and each other, we hope you can join us on the day!
If you’re a free subscriber, or not yet subscribed at all, you can become a paid subscriber any time and gain access to this event, for as little as about $1 a week ($5/month).
So, standby for more details from me soon. And meantime, here’s an advance release of this week’s highly anticipated episode, out tomorrow. A really moving one for me, I look forward to hearing what you think.
In great thanks, as always, for your generous support. Be in touch any time.
Abrazos!
AJ.
