We believe that exploring and understanding our inner self is the first, essential step in showing up in the world and being of service. This bundle is an invitation to turn inward, sharing the stories of inspirational individuals who are reclaiming innate wisdom, seeking spiritual growth and charting their own path. Issue 50 Our special 50th issue of Dumbo Feather is all about connecting more deeply with ourselves. Features include “Archie Roach sings from the soul”, “Lori Lakin Hutcherson publishes Good Black News”, “Peter Rollins is a radical theologian”, “Sharon Salzberg cultivates compassion” and “Dave Martin is a mindful builder”. Issue 38 In the hope of adding a human voice to what is becoming a very dehumanising conversation, we address the financial, social and environmental crises threatening our way of life so we might see ourselves as part of the solution. Our hope is that these stories will move you, as they have us, to create the world we want to live in: one full of compassion, wisdom, accountability and kindness. Issue 44 Good conversations can make us squirm, sweat and want to RUN when we feel threatened, offended and challenged. Everybody in this issue is having the hard conversations. The tighter the reigns of technology, war and political game-playing on our lives, the more we need to do hard things, have hard conversations, fight for our freedoms, our children’s futures and the planet. We have lots of unprocessed trauma as a society and if we don’t deal with it, we pass it down to the next generation. Issue 68 Our Treasured Spaces issue is an ode to the spaces we cherish and have missed over these past two years of lockdowns. We get inside the studios of artists, explore some of Melbourne’s iconic eating spaces, walk through abundant backyard gardens, and explore places deep in the wild that have sustained life for millennia.
