In this episode we look into entitlement as a block to receiving. Chas tells us how she used to do this in a big way and how she finally saw through her entitlement and - in her words - grew up and out of it. We also explore how uncomfortable it is when people throw their entitlement at you and why that means they will sometimes get the thing, but it never means they get the deeper thing. Ie - connection. We meander into the concept of social activism vs personal responsibility - whether the two can ever meet and whether perhaps they should? Like in an ideal world, we might work towards marrying personal responsibility within our lives, with identifying and overthrowing limiting/harmful social contexts. We end our discussion, as we often do, by centering into the power of our desire to circumnavigate all of this. Oh and we also tell you some news about Bernadette - who is given to disappearing into the jungle every now and again.

EPISODE 12: Jada is our Queen
Chas and Julia talk around the houses and ask difficult questions such as is the digitisation of life the penultimate act of colonisation? Is it leading us into a whole new era of slavery? Chas mentions how she has never really seen any of this go away, and how annoying it is when people who are accustomed to comfort are always shocked when episodes of racism are publicly aired. She was taught to efface the more jarring parts of her personality as a black woman in order to survive, and warns us that we really cannot walk quietly into darker times. Resistance and grace are paramount. We can at any point withdraw our consent.
EPISODE 9: Jada is our Queen
EVERYTHING CAN BE A MAGIC ADVENTURE – YOU ONLY HAVE TO DECIDE THAT IT IS SO... Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road. Dag Hammarskjold On the first day of Brexit, Julia and I discuss the changing nature of the traditional idea of adventure in our lives. We talk about how the ebb and flow of how our travels and our environment affect how we operate minute to minute. Talking of commodities, we now know that data is the new oil, and that humans, as the source of data, have become the new commodity. Arguably perhaps, data has become the new colonisation and we see if we can turn that to our advantage by going on the adventure of learning this data inspired new language.
EPISODE 10: Jada is our Queen
This week Bernadette is still missing in adventure action. But nevermind, as Julia and I talk about what has kept us on the sane side of stir crazy in 2020. We continue our travels, virtual and otherwise, by doing our version of Room 101 - namely by nominating the tools for survival and thriving we’d put into our adventure backpacks. We talk about reconnecting to our indigenous spirit in a time of growing automation, dispossession and trans-humanism and we pay more than a passing reference to the importance of the arts. Julia reads us a poem about desire, something we’re committed to exploring in future podcasts. What’s your view on all of this? We’re loving your comments yay or nay so do keep those coming. Do enjoy this week, we look forward to seeing you when we’re back next Friday with a new episode.
EPISODE 11: Jada is our Queen
Why is the feminine seen as being so dangerous? And what happens when we take a descent into that realm? Julia and Chas talk again around their favourite subject - desire - and hit some emotional depths with what it's meant for them in their lives. Why is feminine desire so feared and shamed? What does it take to suppress desire? Plus we also talk about the size of our collective bosom. Just because.
EPISODE 4 - Jada Is Our Queen
