What does it mean to truly reach beyond our individual lives to deeply consider the wellbeing of the collective, the planet and all living things? Issue #71 of Dumbo Feather explores the theme of Beyond Ego. In this issue we share conversations with Buddhist teacher Sylvia Boorstein, inventor and climate activist Saul Griffith, Cookbook publishing phenomenon Hetty McKinnon and martial artist Nadine Champion. You will meet Rusty Moran, the former professional big wave surfer who has found his life’s purpose teaching surfing to returned ADF personnel living with PTSD. The hosts of Good Mourning podcast share their story of finding friendship through the loss of a parent and Georgina Reid explores ideas around nature-connectedness facilitated by psychedelics. Essays from Pierz Newton-John, Nathan Scolaro and Caitlin Stanway reveal personal experiences of moving beyond the ego, and we complete the issue with an activity designed to encourage readers to engage in random acts of kindness. To consciously step outside of ourselves can be more fulfilling than any other action and issue #71 of Dumbo Feather celebrates this concept with lived examples from different walks of life. We hope that you enjoy the journey. Purchase a copy of the magazine to read these stories and more, or access a digital copy with Zinio.
