Dr Jude Currivan is a cosmologist, futurist and planetary healer whose work draws equally on theoretical physics and the wisdom of ancient and indigenous traditions. She holds a Master's degree in Physics from Oxford University, specialising in quantum physics and cosmology, and a PhD in Anthropological Archaeology from the University of Reading, researching ancient cosmologies - a rare combination that lets her move between the language of hard science and the wisdom of the past.
Before this work, Jude was one of the most senior businesswomen in the UK, serving as Finance Director of two $500 million companies operating across 36 countries - an experience she credits with teaching her how to ground her insights and communicate complexity to people who might otherwise dismiss it. She has since travelled to nearly 80 countries, working alongside wisdom keepers from many traditions, and is the author of seven books, including the Nautilus Award-winning The Cosmic Hologram: In-formation at the Center of Creation and her most recent, The Story of Gaia: The Big Breath and the Evolutionary Journey of our Conscious Planet. In 2024 she co-produced, wrote and narrated the documentary A Radical Guide to Reality, now available in seventeen languages. She is co-founder of WholeWorld-View, a member of the Club of Rome and the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, and was named Integral City's Meshworker of the Year in 2022.
Jude's central conviction is that mind and consciousness are not a by-product of the universe but its fundamental nature - a view she arrived at through physics, but also through a lifetime of direct experience, having "walked between worlds" since the age of four, hearing, seeing and knowing things no mechanistic worldview could explain. She reframes the Big Bang as the "Big Breath," argues that the universe's exquisite fine-tuning - down to the improbable chemistry that makes carbon, and therefore us, possible - points to purpose rather than accident, and calls for a shift in our cultural story from TINA ("there is no alternative") to what she calls "there is no separation."
In conversation with Dan, Jude traces her path from childhood clairvoyance to a PhD insight about the Beaker people that mainstream archaeology only caught up with twenty years later.
