Further Adventures in Regrowing a Living Culture
2024-05-23 - 2024-06-21 | Online Event
A five-week online series where I’ll be sharing stories about the people, projects and ways of thinking that shape the work we do at a school called HOME. This is a chance to learn together with space for your questions, reflections and stories, and a chance to meet others who are part of the international weave of friendships and collaborations between those seeking ways to regrow a living culture.
We gather for a weekly teaching session which takes place over Zoom, followed by an “afterparty” where there’s a chance to get to know your fellow participants better. There are two groups, one that meets on a Thursday evening (Swedish time) and the other on a Friday morning.

Contemporary Spirituality – Online Course
2024-02-13 - 2024-03-19 | Online Event
I’m one of twelve guest teachers on the online course, Contemporary Spirituality: Meaning & Mysticism in the Modern Age, curated by Hannah Close for Advaya. Other teachers include Vanessa Andreotti, John Vervaeke, Elizabeth Oldfield, Vandana Shiva and Timothy Morton.
Use the discount code TEACH-CS-HINE and you will get 20% off the regular fee when booking.
Here’s more about the course from Advaya:
How and why do we create meaning? Is belief fundamental to our species? How can we embrace the sacred? Is environmentalism a sacred duty? How can we move towards reconciliation and healing?
These are the questions we will be asking on advaya’s new online course, Contemporary Spirituality: Meaning and Mysticism in the Modern Age.
During the course, we’ll delve into the relationship between belief, meaning, identity, culture, community and spirituality.
We will learn about the confluences between spirituality and religion, and explore how spirituality provides productive ground for individuals and communities to build meaningful actions and movements from.
Join the conversation, along with twelve leading hearts and minds spanning a diverse spectrum of topics.

I’ll be taking part in a public conversation (in Swedish) with Lisa Westberg of the Church of Sweden. The theme of the evening is “Regrowing Living Cultures” and we’ll be talking about what it means to be human in these times, the role of our ideas of “the human” in the converging crises of the 21st century, and how we contribute to the conditions of possibility for cultures that bring life and fulfilment, rather than death and endless hunger.
This free event is part of the På Djupet (On The Deep) series at Sjömanskyrkan, Göteborg. There will also be live music from Swimming Memories (Axel Boberg Ragnerstam and Lasse Karlsson).
The event starts at 19.00. Doors open at 17.00 with a simple buffet available in the concert hall, while the Skeppet restaurant is open as usual all evening.
