The Unselfish Spirit, archetypes and yoga

This talk was given at an Advaya event in September 2015.

Mick Collins describes the ecological crisis as being a spiritual crisis. The first step to solve the crisis, in Mick’s view, is to understand the full of depth of our interconnectedness with all life. He talks about witnessing our archetypal roots through ritual and ritualised actions, such as the mundane act of slicing bread, as a way to connect back through resonance to countless generations.
