Interview Published on June 25, 2026

Stephen was recently interviewed byLaila Saber on the Ancient Intelligence Podcast. This is what Laila had to say about their time together:

I’ve been mentioning how much I have been impacted by Stephen Jenkinson’s work for a while on this show now, and here he is in honor of Ancient Intelligence’s 150th episode (you can access all 150 via Spotify or Apple).

We discuss themes from his work, particularly his forthcoming book Trembling, Still: The Awful Clarity of a Mind in Eclipse – a book shaped by a difficult neurodegenerative diagnosis. We explore culture work, the meaning of animism and paganism, beauty, and maintaining our humanity in this postmodern world.
