Josh Schrei and Alexander Beiner in Conversation

Join Josh Schrei and Alexander Beiner for an evening exploring animism, myth and technology

Josh Schrei is the host of The Emerald Podcast and a leading voice in re-enchanting the world by reviving and reframing animism. Alexander Beiner is the founder of Kainos, author of ‘The Bigger Picture’ and a leading voice in cultural sensemaking.

In this rare event, they will weave their perspectives to explore the roots of the social and spiritual upheaval we’re all living through, and why reconnecting to a living world opens up new hope and possibility. 

Hosted in a brand new venue within 91 in Hackney Wick, we’ll have a private area for drinks and socialising after the talk and Q&A.

SPEAKERS

Josh Schrei

Joshua Michael Schrei is a podcaster, mythteller, teacher, and a lifelong student of the cosmologies and mythologies of the world — in particular the Indian subcontinent.  Throughout a lifetime of teaching, study, meditation and yogic practice, wilderness immersion, art, music, and public speaking, Josh has sought to navigate the living, animate space of the imagination and advocate for a world that prioritizes imaginative vision. Josh has taught intensive courses in mythology and somatic disciplines for over 20 years. He is the founder of The Emerald Podcast, which combines evocative narrative, soul-stirring music, and interviews with award-winning authors and luminaries to explore the human experience through a vibrant lens of myth, story, and imagination.

Less a traditional podcast and more a multi-layered sonic journey, The Emerald aims to reawaken the lost promise of oral storytelling tradition — the transmission of the direct felt experience of wonder and awe, and the rekindling of our relationship with spirit.
