What do you get when you cross a bestselling novelist with a masters in regenerative economics and a healthy dose of shamanic practice? This fascinating conversation with the brilliant Manda Scott, creator of Accidental Gods and the Thrutopia Masterclass.
THE IMPACT. Manda Scott:

- Teaches shamanic dreaming, creative writing and concept-based dog training

THE JOURNEY. In our conversation, we explore:
- A different childhood. How a unique upbringing on a rehabilitation center for birds of prey in rural Scotland meant that “being normal was never an option”
- A spiritual journey. As a young child, getting curious about pre-Roman shamanic cultures of her land
- Listening. Asking “what do you want of me?” and following the answer, creating Accidental Gods
- Writing Thrutopia. Writing a future beyond capitalism and extraction, challenging the publishing world
- What are we here for? Not to pay bills and die. What something new and different could look like
