This conversation reveals that egalitarian societies exist today. Egalitarian societies are societies without the hierarchies that we know in our western culture today, with a different approach to power and community, whereas no-one governs over others. This is one of the ways how a civilisation beyond patriarchy could look like. We talk about how these indigenous tribes manage this egalitarian way of living and the desire for status and power. We generally touch on the world view that indigenous tribes have that is absent in the world today - and that would change our world if we were to adopt it.

Bruce Parry is an award winning documentary filmmaker specialising in films on globalisation, climate change and indigenous peoples. He became interested in direct democracy when making films about egalitarian societies and has spent the last ten years studying how to synthesise the tools, methods, and narratives of our ancestral past into the complex civilisations of today.

His documentary series for the BBC entitled Tribe, Amazon and Arctic, watched by over 5 million people, have shown Parry exploring extreme environments, living with remote indigenous peoples and highlighting many of the important issues being faced on the environmental frontline.

Parry directed and produced his debut feature documentary for the big screen, TAWAI – A voice from the forest, released in 2017. The film takes a deeper look into some of the issues touched upon within his television programmes and the personal lessons which he has learnt from his explorations.

Sivani Mata is an artist who is moved by a sensory and elemental exploration of life. She does that through practices that evoke the liminal experience of trance-like states of consciousness, and the centring of the awareness in heart.

Sivani believes in this process of deep inner work as a way to cultivate a harmonic relationship with the Earth, and feels that these practices are a path to building the relationship of self love and acceptance which is the foundation to a healing loving relationship with the land.

Sivani Mata is a student of bhakti yoga, and shares Music as Medicine (kirtan & prayersong), she facilitates Women’s Circles, where she goes deep into the cyclical nature of what it is to be woman, and offers online courses on the divine feminine, amongst other offerings.
