About

The referendum in Australia and the unfolding conflict in Israel / Palestine have amplified the tensions and challenges of sharing voice together. This is an invitation to practice what it means to presence, connect, and cultivate understanding about many of the critical dynamics which influence our relation to these topics.

Voicecraft is a network and context for transformative communication in relation with patterns of profound importance in our time. Previous events this year have included evenings of interfaith dialogue with leaders of multiple faiths, exploration into topics of AI, wisdom and power, dreams and psyche and several more.

You can watch or listen to previous live events along with other material created for a local and global network and audience on the Voicecraft podcast or YouTube.

Think salon and symposium meet fireside and mystery, kept by a heartfelt dedication to cultivate culture and respond with the reality of our time, and deep time.
