Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).

Recent technological advances, notably Project CETI, are enabling us to begin understanding animal communication, starting with sperm whales. This interdisciplinary initiative employs machine learning, robotics, and natural language processing to decipher nonhuman animal communication.

While these technologies offer significant promise for enhancing animal well-being and rights, they also present serious risks of manipulation and exploitation.

To address this, the NYU More-Than-Human Life (MOTH) Program and Project CETI are collaborating to establish ethical and legal guardrails. This conversation features David Gruber and César Rodríguez-Garavito, moderated by Teo Grossman of Bioneers.

While civilization offers comforts to a wealthy few, it has caused widespread environmental devastation, polluting our planet and driving mass extinction. This crisis stems from greed, ill will, and a pervasive sense of separation.

How can we restore our interconnectedness with nature and each other to address this urgent work? Is individual spiritual practice, often detached from the natural world, still effective?

Dale explores these questions with Zen teacher David Loy, author of *EcoDharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis* and co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center. Edited by Mike Coe. Learn more about the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center, David Robert Loy, and the state of our planet via the FacingFuture Library.
