In our annual look back at intentions we've held through the year, we give thanks for the many miracles and remarkable turnarounds seen in government actions, community resilience and Mother Nature's grace in the wake of the varied emergencies, conflicts and social and political challenges that we've highlighted. Join with us in celebrating and giving thanks for a year of answered prayer. Yes, there's much more progress we'd like to see in many areas, and new fires are starting, but there's much to be grateful for, as this heart-warming round-up shows! Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on progress made in many areas that we’ve held intention for over the past year, we suggest holding as our main intention: We give thanks for the many intentions offered by our listeners that have been answered this year, and will that continued transformative energy will continue to flow to bring blessings for the many we held intention for during the year who are still suffering or who are responding to moments of profound change in their lives. Please join us in holding this.

This week we turn our attention to one of the most important policy documents of recent years, the U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy, released earlier this month. As the USA approaches its 250th birthday, we unpack the MAGA worldview and its profound implications both for the US and the world, having influence in a wide range of areas, including the most pressing concerns of our times. The Strategy's America‑First, hemispheric focus, and the policy shifts on migration, trade, defence, and climate that have unsettled allies and highlighted what may really be in the minds of not only the power in the White House regarding geopolitics and the world order, but other major powers too. The likely global impacts are profound. As always, we look where our prayers and intentions may be most needed. Note: we do take an editorial approach for this episode, being ready to offer our own takes (though we keep these brief). Intentions and prayers begin at 31 minutes 15 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we digest the profound implications of the USA’s newly published National Security Strategy, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that, whatever the US believes about the importance of national sovereignty, its leadership, ambassadors and policy makers will be moved to value cooperation with, and remain open to proposals made by, international partners in those areas that require global agreement, including the ever-pressing issues relating to migration, combating crime and climate change. Please join us in holding this. Note: The Monroe Doctrine is a longstanding key pillar of U.S. foreign policy, first declared by President James Monroe in 1823 to warn European powers against further colonization or interference in the newly independent nations of the Western Hemisphere. It essentially declares the Americas as being a U.S. sphere of influence and pledges U.S. non-interference in European affairs. The policy evolved to justify U.S. intervention in Latin America with the so-called ‘Roosevelt Corollary,’ asserting U.S. leadership and opposing foreign dominance in the region.

In a brief episode this week, we stand in solidarity and deeply honour the many affected by the horror of the atrocity at Sydney’s Bondi Beach this past weekend, and with all Jewish people who are now suffering abuse, attack or fear of attack simply for being Jewish. We move quickly to offering our prayers and intentions. Please join us in holding space and standing against antisemitic lies and prejudice.  Prayers and intentions begin at 11 minutes 40 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as a terrifying escalation in a global climate of hostility toward Jewish people in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in Australia in nearly 30 years, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that educators, political leaders, social media influencers and respected figures in the public eye will be moved where they are able to use their platforms and influence to challenge the automatic conflation made by some that to be Jewish equates with a declared support for the Israeli government. Please join us in holding this.

This week we turn attention to Angola, whose southern provinces are facing severe drought in a crisis the media monitoring NGO CARE says is the world's least reported climate emergency. We seek to understand the human impact of the drought, and the reasons for the strained and inadequate humanitarian response. We also take a look at where practical aid and adaptation measures are and can be taken. As always, we suggest intention-based prayers to support the affected communities. Intentions and prayers begin at 23 minutes 30 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as millions face severe food poverty in Angola owing to drought, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that timely, adequate rainfall will come to southern Angola to replenish the country’s rivers, refill water points, enable planting, and provide pasture for livestock. Please join us in holding this.

In the second part of a special focus on child sexual exploitation and grooming by the rich and powerful, we turn attention to how our societies and each of us as individuals (especially men) can respond. We discuss the psychological, social, and possible evolutionary drivers for predatory male behaviour, why so many seem reluctant to challenge powerful perpetrators, and take a look at helpful suggestions offered by White Ribbon and other survivor-centred organisations who are working to prevent abuse and equip men to call out predatory attitudes in their peer groups and organisations. The episode closes with practical calls to action — urging men to speak out and policymakers to listen to survivors. As always, we consider where our intentions and prayers may be needed. Please note this episode contains descriptions that some listeners may find disturbing. Prayers and intentions start at 23 minutes 36 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect upon our societies’ response to child exploitation and grooming, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all men have the courage to educate themselves about, and call out, the effect of misogynistic and sexually abusive language, attitudes and behaviours.   Please join us in holding this.

In the first of two special episodes, we explore the widespread problem of child sexual exploitation and grooming, highlighting the shocking extent of this evil, and considering the systematic patterns revealed by several high‑profile cases involving wealthy and influential individuals. We examine how power, institutional failure, and silence have enabled a level of abuse and trafficking which brings shame on our societies. As always, we hone in to see where our prayers and intentions may be most needed. WARNING: Listeners should be aware that this episode contains descriptions that may disturbing. Intentions and prayers start at 25 minutes 58 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as an estimated 300 million children globally experience sexual exploitation every year, especially via online abuse, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that every adult who may work in organisations, live in communities, or otherwise know of circumstances where children are being systematically groomed or sexually abused will be moved to challenge deference toward those who have wealth, fame or power, and to respond to the cries of the powerless who are or may be being abused.  Please join us in holding this.

In one of a number of special episodes focused on the state and direction of the US as it approaches its 250th anniversary, this week, we explore the rise and influence of Christian Nationalism in US politics and religious life — what it is, its theological roots, and how the ideology is shaping politics, society, and even democracy itself, both in the US and beyond. We reflect upon the social consequences of the ideology for education, civil rights, and attitudes toward "the other," contrasting the movement's beliefs with the positions taken by other Christians, and their effects for minority communities, women, immigrants and many millions of Americans. As always, we consider where we might focus our intentions and prayers. Disclosure: We do take an editorial position in this episode. Intentions and prayers begin at 37 minutes 27 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary amid a time of deep difference over its future course, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Americans will have the grace to see that those with whom they may disagree are not enemies but are human beings made in God's image or have an equal right to be heard, be safe, and be free.

Karmit explains the remarkable decision making, co-operation and 'we-consciousness' shared by this extraordinary animal, with each hive acting as though one creature or superorganism in its intricate work of mutual protection, nurturing, feeding and survival. We look at what their collective working may teach us about cooperation, heart-centred communication, and selfless care. We also consider the usual conflict between the natural lives of bees and commercial beekeeping practices, and reflect upon the spiritual and practical lessons bees offer us human beings, inviting us to a deeper connection within our homes and communities and integration of some profound spiritual wisdom into our lives.

Today, we examine the unprecedented destruction brought last month by Typhoon Halong to Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, reflecting on the storm's aftermath in the weeks since it made landfall. We highlight the massive crisis the displaced Indigenous communities are facing, which may prove to be truly an existential one. As always, we look at how we might empathise with those needing our prayers and intentions, and suggest where these may be specifically focused. Prayers and intentions start at 22 minutes 37 seconds.  Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on the major devastation brought about by the recent flooding in Alaska, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that those who have lost all or most of their homes, possessions, and livelihoods as a result of Typhoon Halong will be held in light, guided to know how to move forward and opened to sources of help available to them. Please join us in holding this.

This week we examine the escalating global drought crisis driven by climate change, highlighting alarming statistics on atmospheric evaporative demand, the severe and spiralling regional impacts across many parts of the world and the consequences for food security, ecosystems, and human communities. We consider mitigation strategies, adaptation measures, and intentions and prayers listeners can hold to support those affected and encourage wiser stewardship of water resources. Prayers and intentions start at 27 minutes 46 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect upon the increasing risk and consequences of drought facing many countries in the world, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will for a transformation of hearts and minds regarding humanity's relationship with creation, including reducing our attachment to materialism, choosing sustainable lifestyle choices, and appreciating water as a sacred resource that is essential for life.

In this episode we examine Syria’s deepening humanitarian and political crisis 10 months after the fall of the Assad regime: fractured governance, mass displacement, collapsing healthcare and education systems, severe food insecurity, and threats to religious minorities. The country faces one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, yet virtually no one seems to be listening. We outline the immense and diverse scale of Syria's needs, the gaps in international response, and offer suggestions for where we may focus our intentions and prayers, including for inclusive governance, protection for minorities, aid and reconstruction, and healing between the country's communities. Prayers and intentions begin at 18 minutes 50 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as the scale of challenges facing Syria following the dramatic fall of the Assad regime last December is almost overwhelming, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all international actors who are able will be moved to increase humanitarian aid, lift sanctions that hinder reconstruction, and coordinate investment for Syria's rapid and comprehensive recovery.

Today we turn our attention to the alarming persistence of mass shootings in the United States, which now occur at a level never seen before. We reflect upon recent incidents, causes, and the broad impacts on victims, families, and communities. We question why the USA stands out among all nations as seeing so many tragedies, and why civilian gun ownership in the States constitutes almost half the world total. As always, we suggest guided intentions, prayers, and practical focus areas for collective healing and advocacy. Intentions and prayers start at 25 minutes. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we take stock of the shocking prevalence of mass shooting events in the US, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that educators, community leaders and legislators across all US states will have wisdom to guide policy, advocacy and teaching that will support nonviolence and significantly reduce or eliminate gun violence, while respecting and winning the support of those who continue to strongly advocate for their Second Amendment right to defend themselves. Please join us in holding this.

This week, we explore the theme of integrity, this year's final quarter focus for Global Healing Response. We consider what integrity really means, sharing personal reflections, and examining its role in leadership, politics, business, and in facing vital global challenges. As always, we offer suggestions for our prayers and intention-holding, and conclude with a  beautiful guided meditation to inspire integrity both for ourselves and for those who lead and have influence in our communities, workplaces and governments. Prayers and intentions start at 18 minutes 50 seconds. The meditation on integrity starts at 23 minutes 45 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we consider the profound implications of maintaining integrity as the focus for this quarter’s Global Healing Response attention, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that inspiring and trusted influencers will rise up to highlight the importance of integrity in everything we do, moving the hearts and minds of those who have influence in our companies, politics and public institutions to challenge themselves to live and lead according to high personal and corporate values.

Today we review the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the ongoing hostage situation as the second anniversary of their abduction from Israel approaches. We take stock of recent military actions, civilian suffering, and the stalled peace efforts, before asking what we may actually pray and have focused intentions for in what appears to be a dire situation in which both sides in the conflict are determined to continue fighting. Intentions and prayers start at 8 minutes 40 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as attacks intensify, famine and massive casualties escalate, and peace prospects appear to be fading ahead of the second anniversary of hostages being abducted into Gaza and the bitter war that followed, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that countless miracles will happen to enable the survival and wellbeing of both the hostages captured by Hamas who remain in captivity and all in Gaza who now fear for their lives. Please join us in holding this.

This week we examine US President Donald Trump's continuing threat to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, explaining the legal, political, and community contexts, and how the prospect is being faced up to by state, city and civil groups concerned for their liberties. While presenting the facts as we understand them, we also take an editorial perspective, focussing on local fears about the threat and against the backdrop of an uneasy rhetoric among some political figures and social media influencers in the wake of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. As always, we invite listeners to join us in holding intentions and offering prayers for wisdom, protection, and unity as the situation unfolds. Intentions and prayers start at 23 minutes 10 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as Chicago braces itself for a possible uncertain period of civil unease, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that wise heads will prevail in the White House among those who have the ear to advise the President on the real incidence of crime in Chicago, and the wisdom or otherwise of deploying the National Guard into the city. Please join us in holding this.

This week we take stock of the devastating August 31st landslides and earthquakes in eastern Afghanistan and Darfur, both of which are believed to have left thousands dead, displaced and cut off from aid. In two of the world's most troubled regions blighted by oppression, civil war and famine, we reflect upon the added scale of loss, frustrated by blocked access and often limited presence of international aid. As always, we look at where our prayers and intentions might be most needed now.  Intentions and prayers start at 13 minutes 24 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we remember the unfolding humanitarian disasters in two of the world’s most troubled regions, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that survivors of the August 31st natural disasters in Afghanistan and Darfur who have lost loved ones, their homes, livestock, and possessions, will be supported through their grief, and given assistance to find shelter and essential provisions for their survival and wellbeing. Please join us in holding this.

This episode goes beyond the sci-fi, to look into scientific ideas about parallel universes and the multiverse — from the quantum many-worlds to cosmic inflation and string theory, and more. We explore how those concepts intersect with entanglement, non-locality, and the practice of collective intention. Intriguingly, we ponder the implications for sending intentions, not just within the universe we know, but into realms that we don't. Along the way, we reflect on how physics theories and sending intention may connect, not to mention the implications for each of us on our spiritual journeys. Sounding all too much like fantasy and mystery? Listen in–you may discover some fascinating ideas to ponder! Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we’ve focused on a theoretical topic, we’re not offering a number of suggested topics for our intentions and prayers. Instead, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that both ourselves and physicists will continue to be open minded to theories that are strange and currently unprovable, inspiring curiosity and exploration not just for what can be proved, but for the possible and the mysterious.

This week we take a deep dive into Spain's growing political and social polarization, exploring reasons for widespread discomfort since the 2023 general election, corruption scandals, the rise of Vox, regional independence movements, and the historical roots that are fuelling distrust and division. As always, we offer intentions and prayers to hold — calling for tolerance, truthfulness from political actors, fair and transparent institutions, compassionate social discourse, and responsible media, among other suggested areas for attention. Prayers and intentions start at 17 minutes 35 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as political and social polarisation in Spain intensifies to a point rarely seen since the time of the country’s Civil War of the 1930’s, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that the hearts and minds of all Spaniards will be moved to ease the bitter, emotionally charged differences that are fuelling angry dialogue, protest and the risk of civil disobedience in Spain. Please join us in holding this.

This episode takes a clear-eyed deep dive into the complex history behind modern Ukraine’s borders—from the national cradle of Kievan Rus' claimed by three modern-day states, Viking invasions and imperial shifts to Soviet-era decisions—examining how competing historical narratives have shaped both Russia and Ukraine’s territorial claims and international responses. With negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine possibly imminent, we explore likely demands, legal and political obstacles, and look at where we might focus intentions and prayers to support what will likely be a very sensitive and difficult area for either side to reach compromise over. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as the prospect for negotiating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine edges closer, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will for wisdom for the facilitators of any forthcoming peace talks involving Russia and Ukraine, to be sensitive to the personalities and motivations of those present, while steering a course that may allow open and respectful discussion. Please join us in holding this. Prayers and intentions start at 26 minutes 40 seconds.
