Digital Nomads and Community in the Modern Age
By Cynthia Tina, via Ecovillage.org
In times of globalisation, community does not only connect people who physically live together.

Reflections on Our Pilgrimage Into Society
By Gabriele Castagnoli, Sesto Castagnoli
Full Feature, Kosmos Journal SPRING | SUMMER 2017
In February 2016, we started out on a pilgrimage—one with no time limit. Beforehand, we had given away all our possessions except the contents of our two rucksacks. ...

Pilgrimage: A Path of Practice for the New Activism
By Valerie Brown
It was a long day on El Camino, The Way of Saint James, the famed thousand-year old pilgrimage route across the north of Spain. I set out at daybreak and now the sun was setting low on the dusty hills. As I rounded the final bend of the day, my backpack and boots heavy, feeling leaden, a local man walking his dog greeted me from the far side of the field, ‘Ultreia!’ he said,…

Akashic Field and Consciousness
by David Storoy via Science and Nonduality
According to Ervin Laszlo, the coherence of the atom and the galaxies is the same coherence that keeps living cells together, cooperating to form life. When a complex system made up of many interacting parts is operating, sometimes an unexpected jump to a new level of complex organization happens. Our human body is made up of many such levels, each…
Kosmos Classic | An Interview with Deepak Chopra: You Are the Universe
FULL FEATURE from the new SPRING | SUMMER 2017 edition of Kosmos Journal
"This is the big conundrum that science is in at the moment. We do not know what creates experience. We do not know how we know what we know. We do not know the nature of the physical universe. And all our scientific models, even though they’re good for making calculations and creating together, they do not give us a clue…
