Alongside our online release of stories from Volume 5: Time, a series of talks given by Emergence executive editor and Sufi teacher Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee at an April retreat in Devon, England, brings together many of the themes explored in the print edition. This first talk offers a way to re-attune our sense of time to be in relationship with the cycles of the Earth—from the deep time movement of mountains, to the fleeting bloom and decay of cherry blossom. While we have stripped time down to a single expression, forgetting the axis of love that runs through it, Emmanuel speaks to how inner cycles of breath and heartbeat can return us to a more expansive story of time in which spirit and matter are once again braided together.  Read the transcript.   Find out more about our latest print edition, Volume 5: Time.  Photo by Dennis Eichmann / Connected Archives.
