Voicecraft is a culture-making project, grounded in a philosophy of loving transformation. On this website you’ll find links to its form as a media platform, as an online and local network, as an academy for transformative education, and here, as a portal for local and online events.
Voicecraft began as a podcast in 2016, and has featured conversations with wise minds and dedicated souls across topics of culture, philosophy, and psychology. Core to its intention has been the sharing of the vulnerable process of real thinking, soul searching, and philosophical inquiry in public, at a level of comprehension that seeks an integration of the many tensions, opposites, and differences inherent to life, while remaining in touch with the energies of love and creativity that remain among the resounding hopes for the ongoing quality and evolution of sentient life on earth.
The project has been loosely associated with a developing scene of para-academic and media communities named all sorts of names, often quickly chewed up by the frequently self-sabotaging memetic clusterfuck of the digital world. But core to the shared dedication among this ecology of culture-making effort, are threads of inquiry that seek the creation of wiser contexts to participate in understanding and responding in the modern world.
Over the last few years, a growing network of peers, friends, and collaborators have contributed to the Voicecraft project and developed meaningful relations as part of a private and extended global network.
Now that gathering in person has recommenced with some confidence, the project is seeking to develop its local presence as a pioneering and integrous context for embodied, living philosophy — where philosophy is not some ivory tower bullshit, but core to the development of wiser presence in the world.
The Voicecraft context is one that welcomes the hope and intensity of the creative spirit, seeks the integration of knowledge across all relevant fields of inquiry, affirms the beauty beheld in each and every eye, and grounds itself in a self-reflexive, heart centred knowing that we each return to the soil, and that the values inherent to life, creation, and intelligence run intimately through the truth of our bones, souls, and dreams.
Prior to Covid, Voicecraft ran a series of live events across Melbourne. Ranging from live podcast recordings at bars and small theatres, to film nights, lectures, and social events with conversational workshops and music, past events include:
- Where is Mother Earth?
- Disconnection in the Age of Connection
- Finding Purpose in Modern Society
- Awakening from the Meaning Crisis lecture series
- Engineering Humanity & Altered States of Consciousness
- Psychedelics & The Future
- Meaning, Shadow, & Existential Risk
- Ego, Self, Masculinity & Femininity
- What Does It Mean To Be Fearless?
- What’s The End Of The Year For Anyway?
