In this issue, our writers explore questions about human evolution and consciousness, including the final article in the Ashtanga Yoga series on the eighth limb, Samadhi, the topic of ‘Who Am I?’ and synchronicity. We bring you Daaji’s interview by the hosts of Spirit Matters Podcast, Dennis Raimondi and Philip Goldberg, and also the concluding part of the interview with French artist Fabienne Verdier. There are articles on fear and grief, the benefits of reading, and another inspiring lesson from the garden.
