Marga Laube is a counseling astrologer, author, and educator, assisting a global client base in navigating our collective evolution. As a kincentric Vedic Astrologer, she translates the language of the earth and planets, offering stories for healing.

In her book, Agents of Evolution, she offers insight to those seeking a wider context from which to understand the challenges of their lives and how those relate to our collective development.

Marga has been immersed in yoga philosophy and its practices since 1992, having lived for two years in a Hindu monastery with her root guru. She has been a student of Adyashanti since 2001, and was an apprentice to her Vedic Astrology teacher, James Kelleher, for four years in the early 2000's. She holds both Jyotish Visharada and Jyotish Kovid certifications with the Council of Vedic Astrology.

Kincentric awareness is now foundational to her work. The awakening that was once perceived as an event in an individual's life has revealed itself to be inseparable from place and connected to all life, pointing to a new experience of the Buddha's statement, "I and all creation simultaneously realize the Way." From this new vantage point, she functions as a grief tender to individuals and communities mourning the effects of climate crisis. She has a passion for weaving together elegiac rituals of belonging and remembrance, celebrating disappearing life forms as they take their leave from the Earth.

I am a behavioural scientist, conservationist and environmental education consultant, with a deep passion and curiosity for exploring the cognitive, behavioural and psycho-spiritual underpinnings of what makes us human and a part of all... I have spent much of my life in Indonesia, learning about connectedness to nature, indigenous wisdom and the socio-cultural drivers and mediators of the values and practices that create, sustain or challenge societal norms. I am particularly interested in the associations between pro-social and pro-environmental behaviours and pathways to fostering ecocentrism and I continue to explore this through my work, particularly through my environmental education consultancy, Lestari.

The past few years I’ve been introducing myself as “Hi! I’m John, recovering civilization addict, severely challenged by reality. 75 ish years old going on 7……. falling back & deeper in love with the earth and all my kin.” I’ve never been more broken hearted and grief struck as the great unraveling continues….and never more grateful and joyful. 

Part of my evolving Story: As a 23 year old father, determined to “drop out” and “fight” the system I bought an 80 acre farm in N. Minnesota and with a few others started a Land Trust and back to land community, organic farming, local food co-op and alterative school. That was a wonderful learning experience and also very painful as we all had growing up to do, waking up to do, sobering up to do and we all lacked pro-social skills and healthy communal templates. I then spent 10 years creating and being member of worker collectives for the Food Co-op movement in Duluth and Minneapolis. After diving deeper into personal recovery (recovering alcoholic and “cause” addict) I moved to Colorado to live and work with Anne Wilson Schaef (author of When Society Becomes an Addict, Native Wisdom for White Minds, etc). After 15 years traveling the world with Anne and working/living with her “Living In Process” network I spent the next 15 years raising two adopted boys. 

I’ve just retired from a wonderful job as a Park Ranger and Naturalist although I continue leading Nature and Ecosystem Education programs including “Deep Time Walks” and volunteering at local permaculture farms, restoration and rewilding projects. I live simply... less Energy less stuff, less stimulation, less stress... and am called to growing cognitively, spiritually, emotionally... in all my affairs... learning to be a “white blood cell” in the larger body of life. 

Not sure what is next, so many opportunities to be of use and live fully, am trusting the process to see what emerges as my local bioregion calls me to service.

Now her attention is focused on holding a space that makes it easier for people to find access to the sacred in life and to reconnect with the more than human world.

Guided by my reverence for the natural world, and an inner knowing that a more beautiful and harmonious life and world is possible, I have spent the last 10 years researching, developing, and prototyping holistic systemic processes to the set of interconnected challenges that we face collectively in these times.

My passion and purpose is to serve the holistic regeneration of this interconnected planet, so that all life can thrive for generations to come.

I now work as a project manager for a leading South African environmental organisation, Greenpop, in the fields of Urban Greening and Forest Restoration.

I didn’t think the ecological crisis had much to do with me – I thought it was the domain of science and government, whereas I was just trying to survive.  I was so entrenched in the capitalistic system that I didn’t even know it was the source of all my stress.

Then two health crises slowed me down and brought me on a transformational “roots” journey. Slowing down, I became aware of my connectedness to fellow living beings. I realized it’s because we forgot this connectedness, that capitalism could make us all “resources”. We must re-member.

As a transformational coach working with the globally mobile to shift paradigms, I see the polycrisis as humanity’s cancer diagnosis and last great opportunity to shift paradigms to survive. Based in Taiwan, my work aims to connect personal, societal, and ecological transformation through coaching, training, facilitation, and activism for degrowth and wellbeing economies.

My name is Lucy Merlin. My early life was spent on the raw wild land of

the North of Scotland. Here on a farm, I raised my five children.

Now a grandmother, I am moving into the final years of my life - a time of service to the wider earth community. I feel drawn to slow down and

listen more deeply to the natural world, to bear witness to our

determination to hang on to life and the ways we surrender into our

dying. As I walk the shoreline of the world, I experience new life forms

emerging from the decay and loss I grieve.

The role of Elder is my ongoing enquiry as I move into this last stage of

life. Following a month-long training with The School of Lost Borders I

am now an apprentice Wilderness Rites of Passage Guide - embracing

ceremony and ritual to empower initiated adults. My sense is that the

next generation need to feel our breathe on the back of their necks as

we navigate these tremulous times.
