David's guest this month is. is Peter Merry. Peter is passionate about helping humanity evolve at this time of profound global change. His work bridges emerging consciousness and practical innovation — combining wisdom, systems thinking, and entrepreneurial action to create real-world impact. Through Wyrd Technologies, he is pioneering consciousness-interactive technologies that enable us to remember our interconnectedness and engage with intelligence beyond the individual mind to address pressing challenges. He draws on decades of experience in societal transformation, Integral frameworks, and Spiral Dynamics to help organizations and governments navigate complexity and unlock evolutionary potential.

Alongside my entrepreneurial work, he has authored four books — Evolutionary Leadership, Why Work?, Leading from the Field, and Volution — offering clarity and practical pathways for leaders and changemakers who want to navigate this era with deeper awareness. He also designs transformative educational experiences, such as the programmes offered through Ubiquity University that he co-founded. His personal expertise is in supporting leaders seeking deeper personal development and systemic impact.

His passion is to act as a bridge between mainstream structures and frontier consciousness, translating pioneering ideas into grounded, actionable, life-enhancing solutions. He does what he can to walk the talk — purpose-driven, co-creative, ecologically engaged, committed to the never-ending personal development journey — and to inspire others to do the same.

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.
