In the podcast episode, Adah Parris discusses her personal journey of self-discovery and how it led her to develop the framework of Cyborg Shamanism™. She shares how her upbringing in a working-class, immigrant family and experiences of racism and discrimination shaped her worldview and led her to question the dominant narratives of society. Adah also talks about her exploration of spirituality and shamanism, and how it intersected with her interest in technology and the digital world. Through her personal journey, Adah discovered the importance of embracing complexity and ambiguity, and the need to find balance between the rational and the intuitive, the digital and the spiritual, the individual and the collective.

In this talk Adah explores how Cyborg Shamanism™ can be used to redefine our values and behaviours and create a more sustainable future based on community, kinship, and living ecosystems. She highlights the potential of this framework to transform our perceptions of value and impact and encourage individuals to use technology to support and enhance our efforts towards a better future for ourselves and future generations.

In this thought-provoking talk, Adah Parris explores how systems change can help us create a more sustainable and equitable future. She discusses how our current systems perpetuate inequality and harm, and how we can redesign them to promote social and environmental justice. Drawing on her expertise in Cyborg Shamanism™, Adah highlights the need to shift our mindset from individualism to community and kinship, and to embrace indigenous practices and ancient wisdom in our quest for transformation. With inspiring examples and practical insights, Adah encourages individuals and organisations to be catalysts for change and to work towards creating a more just and regenerative world.
