Evolutionary Animism: Life Cycles
With Chris Bache and Colin Campbell
Join Chris and Colin for this exciting discussion on the evolutionary trajectory of the human species, held within an intelligent and creative universe.
This is animism on a cosmic scale as we explore the cycles of our lives within the repeating cycles of nature and cosmos, at an individual and collective level.
Professor Chris Bache will be drawing on his 20 year research journey with psychedelics to uncover truths about the nature of reality, specifically our understanding of reincarnation and evolution.
Coin Campbell will be bringing insights from the African San traditions of which he is a lineage holder, about the cyclical and animate patterns of nature in which we are embedded.

Colin Campbell
Colin Campbell grew up in rural southeastern Botswana, the son of a renowned anthropologist and a creative healing mother. He is currently a practitioner of traditional African medicine, based in Cape Town, South Africa and the UK. He receives clients from all over the world, and facilitates international group processes relating to natural law, transformation, healing & personal power, sacred sites, and cross-cultural cosmology. His work bridges major world cities with ancestral homelands and forgotten wilderness, taking him from the Amazon Basin to Los Angeles, the sacred sites of Venda to the urban grit of Johannesburg, and remote Ethiopia to the City of London. Colin co-founded and co-runs a training school in Botswana for traditional doctors and sangomas with his brother Niall Campbell. He is also a lifelong artist and musician, his style once again bridging the traditional with the contemporary, the timeless with the timely, and the sounds of the sacred with the lyricism of electric rocking funk.
