Recorded live in Melbourne for August's Underground Philosophy, Cameron Duffy (philosopher, counsellor and independent researcher) joined me for a dialogue responding to the theme of consciousness.

The audience conversation afterwards was fantastic, and overall this was my favourite local event in years, and an honour to share the floor with another friend.

The next Underground Philosophy, situated around the theme of Cultural Shamanism, takes place on Friday September 13. Tickets are at https://www.voicecraft.io/events

Cameron has spent his adult lifetime exploring the nature of being, healing, and human possibility through the transformation of consciousness. He discovered the non-dual potential of conscious experience during his early adult development and has been focused on the scientific, alchemical, and embodied philosophies that bind the nature of consciousness with the meaning making journey. Cam is otherwise dedicated to re-vitalising modern psychiatric culture and psychedelic integration by synergizing an awareness of the sacred with harmonic modes of relationship and practice.

Cameron Duffy will be joining Voicecraft for a dialogue at the next Underground Philosophy: The Mystery of Consciousness, this Friday.

He discovered the non-dual potential of conscious experience during his early adult development and has been focused on the scientific, alchemical, and embodied philosophies that bind the nature of consciousness with the meaning making journey.

The next Voicecraft podcast welcomes Alex Ebert for a dialogue on the politics, psychology and philosophy of the Overton window: the present limits of socially acceptable policy and opinion.

Alex is an incidental musician and philosopher. His interest in Hegelian philosophy began (unbeknownst to him) more than a decade ago, with his development of a peculiar mathematical function (magnetic zeros). Said function is now the centerpiece of his Hegelian philosophy of sublation (freQ theory), and, for better or worse, serves as his platinum-selling band’s name.

O.G. Rose is a writer, philosopher, and author of Belonging Again: An Address, which explores the conditions of possibility for the realisation of ‘a sense of freedom and beauty among Global Pluralism without retreating or proving naïve.’

Always a pleasure to speak with the dialogic master that is Guy Sengstock. This one feels like the most up to date drawing together of the philosophy that has been central to my work, integrating many themes over the years.

It could be titled many things, and begins with the question: just what is influencing what?

Shout outs to O.G. Rose in conversations on beauty alongside many others.

Cadell's framing here is relevant to the total context of consideration for the forthcoming live Underground event in on Indigeneity, the Sacred, and Techno-Cultural , which he expands on in the dialogue on the Voicecraft podcast.

In my opinion, this one is right on the pulse of philosophy in our time.

The next Voicecraft podcast welcomes the award-winning professor and globally renowned thinker John Vervaeke. The dialogue begins with reflection on the evolution and self-correction of John’s work over recent years.

I think the way John showed up to this unique exchange was exemplary, and it's an honour to share.

After the launch of Underground Philosophy last Friday, this dialogue recorded the week before delves deeper into some of the motivating image and philosophy.

There are some really fruitful and valuable resources for thinking and perceiving in this one, and the pace is relaxed and deeply generative, which is typical of sessions in the Voicecraft Network.

At the core here is a call to cultivate capacity for sharing space -- with nothing fluffy about that notion whatsoever.
