David's guest this month is Dr Jude Currivan, who's a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist, award-winning author and film maker, Evolutionary Leaders Circle council member, Associate Member of the Club of Rome and previously a senior UK-based international business woman. She has a Masters in Physics from the University of Oxford and PhD in Archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK and is a life-long researcher into the unitive nature of reality. Having travelled to over 80 countries, since 1998 she has been in service to collective and planetary healing and conscious evolution and co-founded WholeWorld-View in 2017 to further serve transformational change.

Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness. Imaginal cells are responsible for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, which is the Greek symbol for the soul. These cells are dormant in the caterpillar but at a critical point of development they create the new form and structure which becomes the butterfly.
