David's guest this month is Wendy Ellyatt, a Global Thinker and Change Agent who is actively promoting regenerative systems transformation across sectors. A long-term member of the Scientific and Medical Network, she is co-author of the Unitive Narrative, founder of the Flourish Project, co-founder of Living Cities Earth, a member of the SDG Thought Leaders Synergy Circle, development lead for the Unitive Wisdom and Unitive Education Collaborations, a Global Council member of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll), project lead for the Spirituality in Education Alliance UK (SIEUK) and an awardee of the Brahma Kumaris ‘100 Women of Spirit’.

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.
