All That We Are

How do we live and die well? In this episode entitled Embracing Our Pain, Amisha speaks with Vanessa Andreotti, a Brazilian educator and Indigenous and land rights activist. She is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities, and Global Change at the University of British Columbia. She is one of the founders of the 'Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Arts/Research Collective' and part of the coordination team of the "Last Warning" campaign. Vanessa is also the author of 'Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and Implications for Social Activism'. Amisha and Vanessa explore what it means to live and die well in systems of dominant cultures. They share that we have developed limited capacities to face our mortality and to hold pain, hence are ill equipped to weather the storms of climate catastrophe, the rise in violence and the global mental health crisis. Vanessa believes that the point of life and death is to prepare people to become good elders and good ancestors. They talk about the value of elders in our communities and the importance of their life's teachings to be passed around so we can connect with generative ways of being that activates responsibility beyond ourselves. Vanessa reveals that we have to find balance and connection, we need to break codes of worthiness, behaviours of consumption and numbing pain in order to live considerate and fulfilled lives within the bigger metabolisms where we belong. We learn that collective pain we are experiencing needs to be held by collectivised hearts. Seeing ourselves as a continuum of life, letting go of aspirations, idealisations and projections allows us to move beyond individualistic conditioning into relationships and responsibilities beyond ourselves. In turn this brings us closer to living in radical tenderness and balance with each other and the more than human world.

How can we follow our creative dreams and build sustainable livelihoods? In this episode entitled Melodies Of Transformation, Amisha speaks with Abby Poem, a yogi, musician and energy healer living off-grid in the Ibiza mountains. Abby's music is inspired by the colours and spirit of India and its culture of prayer. Her music carries the essence of deep transformation and brings forward a sense of hope. She has recently released her debut album 'Change Will Come'. Abby is the co-founder of 'Perception', a creative yoga hub in Ibiza embracing research at the cross section of spirituality and neuroscience. Abby shares her personal journey of finding her creative voice and following her dreams of living off-grid and becoming a songwriter guided by singing circles and kitans. Inspired by permaculture living, she now lives by herself in a solar powered and rainwater sustained off-grid house. This way of life has attuned her to nature's seasons. In summer she lives a social life and during winter she hibernates in solitude. It has empowered her to unfold her full creative expression as a songwriter creating a first crowdfunded album. Together they speak about 'Perception', the yoga hub bringing together spiritual practices and neuroscience in research on how spiritual modalities can transform our behaviour patterns. It will provide data for people on the impacts of their spiritual practices on their neurological pathways. The findings will establish scientific evidence and trust that the practices we are growing are having the impact and establish the state of balance we are hoping for. We learn that what touches people is real creative expressions. In order to find our true creative expression and authentic voice we have to find the courage for our hearts to be seen and heard in all their rawness. We have to tune into the melodies of change that are constant new beginnings offering us to shape new norms.

How can you be an activist in a world of crisis? In this episode entitled Creative Action, Amisha talks to Tamsin Omond, a communications and campaigns strategist, inspirational speaker and author. Tamsin has consistently shifted public conversation on the climate and ecological emergency. They have organised a number of high profile protests, co-founded a Suffragette inspired environmental campaign - Climate Rush, coordinated Save England's Forests coalition, founded a CIC - The Momentum Project - that mobilises the community surrounding London City Airport, led global corporate campaigns as Head of Global Campaigns at Lush Cosmetics and been a founding member of Extinction Rebellion. They are also active in queer uprising; a theatre maker and the author of two books - 'RUSH! The Making of a Climate Activist' and 'Do Earth: Healing Strategies for Humankind.' Amisha and Tamsin speak about climate activism and how environmental movements have changed over the past decade bringing new demographics into taking radical action on climate. Tamsin shares their ingenious strategical approaches mobilising communities in impactful environmental campaigns. They reveal their collaborative methods of addressing vast crisis and injustices impacting our global communities. They talk about the trauma that exists in movement spaces due to overexertion and how activists can grow sustainable movements by prioritising living a balanced life. Tamsin reveals the intimate and public unfolding of their trans non-binary identity in a transphobic culture. They emphasise the importance of connecting with supportive community when facing indoctrinations and impermeable walls of society when we live with invisible identities. They share their alignment with their true identity and the liberation, joy and sense of belonging it gifted them. We learn that kindred community is an essential ingredient for our future survival. Tamsin recommends that making connections, talking to people on our doorsteps and growing friendships with someone unexpected can shape trusted networks that increases our resilience and possibilities for growing self-sustaining community strategies.

How can we filter and trust information in a world of misinformation? In this episode entitled Knowing In Post-Truth Times, Amisha talks to Marcus Gilroy-Ware, an interdisciplinary writer and scholar working on media, politics, technology and capitalism. He is the author of 'After the Fact? The Truth about Fake News' and 'Filling the Void: Emotion, Capitalism and Social Media'. Amisha and Marcus talk about how information exists in this time of post truth. They speak about the overwhelming effects misinformation, fake news, conspiracy theories and conflicting information are having on our ability to make sense of the world. Marcus believes that vast amounts of money and power are invested to ensure that we don't know where we are going as a society; a theatre of confusion that is a cultural, social and political problem perpetuating our sense of uncertainty. They speak about how this confusion and uncertainty affects our personal and collective visions for the future as it is replaced with survival mode eroding our sense of agency and our sense of connection to aspirations we might hold for our future. Marcus shares his insights into conspiracy theories and how they stem from feelings of disempowerment, which do not necessarily coincide with real disempowerment. Together they explore how we can establish filters of trust that can help us see through the confusion of headlines, conflicting information and language manipulation we are exposed to by mainstream media and social networks. They spark awareness that our filters often determine how we understand the world, what kind of information comes to us and what information sources we trust. We learn that filtering information means that we have to be discerning and cultivate nuanced relationships with our sources of information. We have to accept that our worldview will always be partial. We need to cultivate productive disagreements, solidarity, kindness, and a sense of humbleness in the face of knowledge allowing ourselves to be patient and to be open to being wrong and not knowing.

How do we repurpose capitalism to create an inclusive and regenerative future? In this episode entitled Alchemists Of The Future, Amisha talks with Daniel Epstein, the founder, and CEO of Unreasonable Group, an organisation dedicated to supporting an international Fellowship of 310 growth-stage entrepreneurs who are profitably solving global issues. The Unreasonable Collective offers a diverse community of individuals the ability to invest in ventures operating at the intersection of impact and advanced technologies. Daniel was named by Fortune Magazine as one of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders. He has been awarded Inc. Magazine's "30 under 30 entrepreneurs", and Forbes identified him as one of the "top 30 most impactful entrepreneurs." He received the prestigious "Entrepreneur of the World" award along with Richard Branson & the President of Liberia at the Global Entrepreneurship Forum. Beyond his capacities at Unreasonable, Daniel is a frequent keynote speaker, moderator, thought-leader, and advisor. Daniel shares his ideas on 'repurposing capitalism'. He believes that leveraging it as a powerful tool can create a better future; one that prioritises regeneration, equability, and inclusion with family, health and wellness, and spirituality at the heart of our communities. He shares some of the awe-inspiring businesses supported by Unreasonable Group offering promising and profitable solutions for creating this better future by addressing some of our biggest global issues whilst creating positive impact for planet and people. Together they recognise entrepreneurship as an embodied experience that is guided by intuition; our 'faster' intelligence. It is often romanticised leading to burn out for a lack of access to long term support by high value mentors, community and financial backers. We learn that valuing our time as our most high value commodity, creating rituals, solid support systems and putting wellness first lay the foundations for growing meaningful businesses that will sustain our futures.

How can we cultivate ceremonies of transformation and belonging? In this episode entitled Guided By Tree Whispers, Amisha talks with Isla Macleod, a ceremonialist who facilitates rites of passage ceremonies, rituals, retreats and healing journeys. Through her work of attending to the more-than-human world, Isla fulfills the service of a traditional medicine-woman, providing a bridge to the unseen and restoring balance to the web of life and to help heal our separation from the natural world. Devoted to remembering and reimagining the indigenous ceremonies of her Celtic ancestors, Isla has spent time living in solitude in the woods, apprenticing with the Yew clan. At the heart of her work is the practice of learning how to meet death in a good way, to enhance the richness of life, and prepare for becoming a well and wise ancestor. Isla shares her personal journey seeking earth-based spiritual practices amongst the Yew trees embracing the lunar calendar traditions of her Celtic ancestors. Her rites of passage and shamanic training with trees as witnesses affirmed a sense of belonging to the more than human world. Together they speak of the loss of ceremony in Western cultures and the consequences for our sense of belonging. They talk about the importance of ceremony to bring alive our intimate relationship with the sacred and the natural cycles of transitions. Isla speaks of the importance of rites of passage rituals as vital pauses that can help us receive the wisdom of our elders and open ways for communities to hold us whilst we let go of phases of life and emerge into the new phases as whole beings. We learn that living in cyclical and ceremonial reciprocity with nature's wisdom keepers hones our visceral sense and our sense of belonging. It offers a way to be curious about our darkness, to tend to grief and death, to align with our integrity, and to embody our human potential.

How do we inspire and live the change? In this episode entitled Resilient Communities Of Hope, Amisha talks to Becky Burchell, a Futures Producer. Becky's practice is Hopism :: sharing stories of hope to inspire change. Her work is at the intersection of the arts, environmentalism and social justice. In 2019, she launched CHANGE Festival to elevate people, ideas, and narratives that celebrate bold new ways of living, where humanity and the natural world are both able to thrive. Becky has created a play 'The World We Made' and a short film series 'Rise Up' in response to the environmental and climate crisis. They talk about how we can live better in community and how creating projects together creates a culture that invites inclusion. Becky tells us about the democratised community of Chettle, a Heritage Village in Dorset, UK, where she lives with her family. In Chettle, the houses and land have been owned outright for generations; no interest being paid to banks and all savings passed down to the people that live there. This breaks all norms and has flourished a hopeful village, where living in community is possible. Together they plant trees reinstating local orchards, they are creating a community food hub taking over the village shop adding a cafe, and they are building a mixed agro ecological farm, all community owned. She shares how 'all that we are' fka 'The Future Is Beautiful' podcast has influenced her personal work and what they are doing in the village making elements of conversations real and tangible. Becky reveals that thinking about climate change fundamentally guided the direction of her work, and in search for answers and community to imagine a better future, she created CHANGE Festival. She believes that the Arts have a pivotal role to play in helping us understand and navigate the vivid and complex changes we are facing due to climate change. We learn that sharing hopeful and inspirational stories offers ways to build resilience and hopeful community cultures that can face challenges during uncertain times.

How can we experience our bodies as diverse resources for liberation? In this episode, entitled Moving Into Collective Divinity, Amisha talks to Ava Riby-Williams, a queer, British Ghanaian/Indian visionary. Ava acts out life purpose as a creative facilitator, Yoga teacher, activist, and artist who encourages play and promotes diversity in all of life. Ava is driven by the importance of making healing possible for marginalised communities as a tool to unwind trauma, whilst learning about the cycles, which oppress them in order to share teachings on equity. Ava's work encourages us to become our own inner teachers, recognising ourselves as divinity and in unity. With over 10 years of Yoga, creative practise, facilitation, and performance experience, her teaching is often woven with song, poetry, and play as a way to deepen our capacity to Love and experience life. For 2022, Ava is developing a new series of somatic movement workshops. Together they explore 'From Me To We' our upcoming learning journey and the embodiment journey's Ava will be hosting within. Drawing inspiration from biomimicry and the patterns of nature, these collective journey's are seeking to connect us with our bodies' senses letting our weekly themes percolate and ripple into diverse physical experiences that are seeds of change. Ava speaks about her sexual identity and the shame that is often attached to being queer and gender-fluid in our heteronormative world. She reveals a traumatic personal experience that has caused her waves of grief and how she integrates the complex dualities of this into her life with grace. Ava believes that trauma and grief is an embodied experience and can show up as collective physical dis/ease. These collective experiences tend to be systemically de-contextualised turning them into culture deeply affecting our marginalised communities. We learn that her work with spiritual embodied practices is intended to open pathways for us to reconnect into our divine essence overcoming personal and ancestral blocks igniting transformation that brings us individual and systemic freedom.

How can we reimagine and redesign online community to serve the future of our wildest dreams? This special episode entitled An Invitation into Transformative Community is a call to action where we turn the tables on Amisha Ghadiali, the wonderful host of 'All That We Are' this globally acclaimed podcast, where we offer deep, insightful, unedited conversations weaving together activism, the sacred, creativity, and regeneration. Amisha has a gift of bringing people into connection with themselves, each other, and the Earth. She has hosted many retreats, workshops, programmes and rituals around the world creating tender and inclusive spaces. Amisha shines a light on our new offering 'From Me To We', a learning journey where a faculty of 18 speakers, all of which have been on the podcast before, will be gathering for conversations around urgent themes arising from the pressing times we live in. In speaker sessions, embodiment experiences, and community salons, we delve deep into themes that explore how we may embrace the polarity and complexities of now, how we may dismantle new-age spirituality, privilege, and notions of white saviorism and give rise to engaged activism and so much more. 'From Me To We' is a one of a kind invitation relevant in the here and now with the intention to offer a unique journey where something may emerge and move us in new ways; a journey of dynamic healing and transformation; a journey where the wisdom of everyone that's present can be shared in reflections, questions and the yet unexplained that may arise. Amisha reveals the challenges of sustaining a podcast and community that is entirely funded by its own members and free of advertising. The idea for 'all that we are' membership community app - launching soon - blossomed since she was craving an online community space where members can actively contribute to the work we do and where our network can meet, spark connections and collaborations across the globe away from being stalked by corporations and advertisers. She believes we have to try and find beauty in these wild times by connecting to each other in new ways and by supporting each other to become resilient, adaptable, intuitive beings. The new name and all of the offerings we are launching provide a space where such things can blossom. We hear from Hely Cameron, new curator at 'All That We Are', sharing her journey from being a podcast listener to turning into a member of the team. We learned that the new membership community app will have a podcast class club, a space for people to come together to share their insights and inspirations garnered from our podcast episodes. There will be a workshop area that includes offerings on how to work with eco anxiety, how to live more in flow, how to trust our intuition and so much more.

How can we reimagine and reorient our curiosity during civilisational crisis? In this episode entitled Researching The Sacred, Amisha brings together Sophie Strand and Bayo Akomolafe. Sophie is a writer, who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially between beings, ideas, differences, and mythical gradients. Bayo is a poet, philosopher, psychologist, professor and chief-curator of the Emergence Network. He curates this earth-wide project for the re-calibration of our ability to respond to civilisational crisis. Sophie and Bayo unfold a playful conversation taking us on a wild journey of how we might research the sacred, investigate that which interconnects us, and re/imagine education. They consider that our troubling times call for us to become prolific in indeterminate research that takes it away from academia and humanist claws; forms of research that allow for playful, tactile and intimate spaces, where our bodies are ecological experiments and investigations into past ecosystems, where we might allow furniture to do research and allow for the fact that the weather is doing research with our bodies. Emerging from their intimate enquiries is a call for animist reorientation that fundamentally questions our conditioned point of view and serves as an invitation to marvel at the invisible, the uncertainties and the deep questions it raises. Inviting people into spaces to share food is an 'outrageous' and simple invitation where new enquiries can sprout from our bewilderment. They encourage us to understand our bodies as psychedelic, sensory portals that do not need medicines to encourage our ecological awakeness. We learn that every decision is an opportunity to risk doing the most interesting thing. Blossoming our curiosity will open up our understanding of the sacred as an emergency and simultaneously as an emergence, where we may understand ourselves as patterns rather than matter. This alternative opens spaces where we can re-orient, articulate hope, and think about the future as computational, algorithmic, and cybernetic flows beyond us during civilisational crisis.

How can we imagine and practice freedom in this time of limitations? In this episode entitled Microcosms of Liberation, Justice and Pleasure, Amisha speaks with adrienne maree brown, a writer, activist and Black feminist. adrienne is the author of 'Grievers', 'Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Meditation,' 'We Will Not Cancel Us' and 'Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good' and many more important books that help us create transformative strategies and movements for our time. She is the co-host of the 'How to Survive the End of the World' and 'Octavia's Parables' podcasts. Amisha and adrienne explore ideas on how we can come to imagine and embody a future in which we are free. adrienne shares that the visioning of our futures is a fundamental practice that can create alignment between our behaviours and visions. It is a way to grow our individual practices into compelling futures; futures that we want to be alive for, futures that are free and that can become large-scale community freedom movement. Together they acknowledge that we live in a time of spiritual awakening where we are learning to grieve. We exist in crumbling systems that can no longer continue if we wish to continue as a collective species. adrienne shares that rituals of grief and spiritual practices are a way to prepare ourselves individually and at a systemic level to let go of systems that we are embedded in and often comforted by. adrienne believes that we are closer to our free futures than we have learnt to believe and that the structures of western school education distract us from envisioning the kind of humans we need to be to participate in this future. We learn that in order to embody the visions for our compelling futures we must be willing to practise honesty and boundaries, allow ourselves to experience pleasure, make ourselves vulnerable, and engage in relational learning to co-vision in relationship with others in our communities. We need to question the construct of linear time and imagine it as layered, moving in many directions, in cycles, something that is mysterious and therefore opening up possibilities for spiritual shifts and for what our actions could mean.

How do we imagine and flourish a future in times of wild interruptions? In this episode entitled An Artist's Way During Wild Times, Amisha talks with Jason Bayani, poet, author, educator and arts organiser. His poetry books 'Amulet' and 'Locus', the latter nominated for the Northern California Book Award, and his solo theater show 'Locus of Control' explore the experience of identity of Pilipinx-Americans. His poems are oral histories, tales of magic and myth, 'creatures of excess', as he describes them. Jason is the artistic director of 'Kearny Street Workshop' in San Francisco, the oldest multi-disciplinary Asian Pacific American arts organisation in the country. Jason shares a flow of collective insight embracing intuition, embodiment and grief, which he gathered during a Bioneers event with Nina Simons, both him and Amisha attended. This rich reading offers signposts and profound questions for navigating our current time. Together they speak of the search for uninterrupted spaces of silence where our dreams and imagination can flourish, where we can reclaim and provide ourselves with soulfulness. They speak of the importance of giving ourselves permission to 'disappear' into these spaces as a way of dissolving the pressures of productiveness impressed upon us, and as a necessity to flourish creative visions and expressions for the future. Jason reveals that artists are pivotal in igniting our dreams. An artist's way can help us dream ourselves into new realities beyond the current systems and crisis of imagination. He believes that artists have ways of stirring the severely limited view of beauty, which we are able to see in this world right now. We learn that seeking the tenderness of our creativity, unfolding it at its own pace and trusting this process is where we will visit the real depth of our creativity, where we will reconnect with our identities and root into our intuitive experience. This process will bring forth our true expressions, spark our imagination and help us engage in meaningful ways during times of wild interruptions.

How do we flourish potential and change within our community? We are emerging from a nourishing hiatus with a new name and new offerings, and are welcoming you back with a special episode; a collective message from our team. Since we started this period of reflection evolving our vision for what the 'All That We Are' might become, our team of femme has organically grown to hold all that we hope to unfold. From Britain to South Africa to Turtle Island, in this episode entitled A Sanctuary For Emergence, we will share some of our deeper yearnings for the future. We speak of our origins, how and why we connected with this podcast and with Amisha, our inspiring podcast host. We recall previous episodes where we heard from Claire Dubois (E130), Alnoor Ladha (E123), Nasreen Sheikh (E127) and Tiokasin Ghosthorse (E107); episodes which sparked our imaginations and stirred the deeper layers of our hearts in new ways. We reveal our personal 'medicines' that kept us sane and our joy alive during these challenging pandemic times and we share our visions and yearnings for the future of your wildest dreams. We reflect on 'All That We Are', our new name and the offerings we have brought alive during these past months. 'All That We Are' exists to offer a space of sanctuary, where we share podcasts, a place where you can come and be in kind company; a place where you can learn, unlearn and connect to your own wisdom, where we celebrate, explore and deepen our perspective on all that we are, and on all that we are becoming.

How do we meet our future during times of great change? In this special episode entitled A New Name For These Times, Amisha Ghadiali, our inspiring host, shares how we are evolving the vision of this podcast bringing into alignment its essence of community, truth and goodness with the potency and priorities of current times. Time has come, where we seek to move away from the name 'The Future Is Beautiful' into something that will open up our community in new ways and make the wisdom of vision and creativity we share more accessible whilst addressing the polarity and challenges of our time. Amisha invites our listeners to meet this future with their suggestions for our new name. She talks about our new community app, to be launched this year; a beautiful space that embodies what we share on this podcast. Amisha entices us to join our latest offering, 'The Weave'; a nourishing recharging experience during this Autumn Equinox with special guests, including Richard Rudd and Mac McCartney. She reminds us that if we wish to refine or redefine what it means to be a leader at this time or if we are simply seeking to find our ways of contributing and inspiring each other, use our privilege, our voice or our economic power in new ways, her Beautiful Leadership Immersion & Mentoring begins next week offering a space to explore ways to align and connect with our own essence by clearing subconscious patterns and planting new seeds of qualities that become part of who you are over the time.

How do we harmonise the complexities of being human whilst honouring ourselves as beautiful beings of nature? This episode is part of our collaboration with 'Noisily Festival - Mind, Body and Soul', where we explore the theme 'We Are Nature'. This LIVE panel took place on 12th June 2021 as part of the Avebury pilgrimage. In this episode entitled Transforming Our Living Story, Amisha shares a conversation with Charlotte Pulver (E124), a modern day alchemist, Chris Park (E141), an active member of the order of 'Bards, Ovates & Druids', prolific beekeeper, enthusiastic storyteller and folklore wisdom keeper, Jimena Paratcha (E140) mother, community leader, conscious entrepreneur and horsewoman with 20 years of working in the social justice sector and Bruce Parry (E5) explorer, documentary filmmaker, author and indigenous rights supporter. Together they embarked on a beautiful pilgrimage in Avebury exploring how we can recognise ourselves as beings of nature and harmonise the complexities of being human by reconnecting with nature's essence, its rhythms and wisdom. They share their insights into reasons why we have become disconnected from nature and the impacts this has on our humanness, cultures, communities, and on nature itself. We hear how we can honour our collective sense of grief and trauma that is offering the opportunity for us to find new ways to reconnect back to our land and our heritage. They reveal profound personal experiences and teachings from different cultures that have broadened their understanding of nature and inspired personal practices of connecting to their inner universe and their surroundings more empathetically. They explore how we can form ceremonial rituals and ways of life that awaken and ground our Youths in a sense of being that instills a knowing that we are part of something greater than ourselves. We learn that pilgrimages afford us spaces where we can step into meaningful, spiritual, liminal experiences where magic happens, where we can be inspired and marvel at the world and open ourselves up to receive the medicines of nature's abundant gardens for restoration, transformation and belonging.

How can we embrace folklore wisdom traditions as life teachings and nourishing life strategies for the creation of a thriving world? In this special episode entitled Nature's Tapestry Of Life, Amisha shares time with Chris Park, an active member of the order of 'Bards, Ovates & Druids' for nearly 25 years, a prolific beekeeper, enthusiastic storyteller and folklore wisdom keeper. He lives on an organic farm, and as a druid priest, he has worked as celebrant and teacher with schools, wildlife trusts, local authorities, mental health projects, communities, families and more, aiming to strengthen our connections to the natural environment and each other whilst building knowledge, skills & thriving community. Chris hosts ceremonies and gatherings around the U.K. and within a sacred grove at home. Most recently he co-created a bee-themed podcast 'Living Beeing' interviewing artists, musicians, bee-scientists, beekeepers and apitherapists together with friends Verity Sharp and Patrick Randall. Chris takes us on an insightful journey into the nature-based spirituality of Druidry, a tradition that survives in folklore and the stories of our landscapes, and evolves with generations. Being a priest and active member of Bards, Ovates and Druids' has inspired Chris' unique lifestyle and enables him to share inspiring creative strategies for creating thriving communities living in reciprocity with our natural world. Chris shares a flow of folk tales, song and mythologies taking us into 'the other world', the imaginary realm, where we experience magic, symbolism, mischief and exceptional power reminding us of the rich tapestry of life. Every traditional folk tale gives great traction into the natural world with themes, mottos and symbolism, trees, plants and animals, stars, rocks and spirits of nature. He believes such stories can be cathartic and restore our separated sense of connection to the natural world, to oneself and one's ancestry and bring forth a sense of well-being and belonging. Together they explore his work as a sustainable beekeeper and apitherapist. Chris shares that bees are ancient teachers reminding us of the cycles of life and the interconnectedness of our world with nature. In exchange for keeping them well and thriving, we receive their medicines of honey, pollen propolis, royal jelly from time to time, bee venom, wax and beehive air. We learn that putting down roots and drawing closer circles around our communities inspires a village sufficiency that is vital for our greater communities to thrive and keep on growing. And if we are not growing, then we must start growing food or plants or gardens, as they will bring us happiness.

Amisha and Jimena explore the importance of motherhood and how living atuned to nature's and our own inner cycles provides vital moments of calm that connects us to our inner voice and creativity. We learn that growing practices of spaciousness and stillness will align us with our bodies intelligence, our feelings and physical sensations, rather than our intellect. This simplicity of being in our bodies is a powerful way to bring alive a gentle way of living in beauty and balance, from which we can activate more effective change in our local communities and society at large.

How do we reveal and embody our magnetism and authenticity through our style choices? In this episode entitled The Power Of Our Second Skin, Amisha talks to Kerry Wilde, a Slow Fashion and Women's Empowerment advocate who's work harmonises Spirituality, Sustainability and Style.

Kerry trained in Reiki, Yoga, Feminine Embodiment and Womb Healing. She is the Founder of Art of Slow: an online platform to educate and bring awareness to the frequency of our clothing, an ambassador for the Empowerment Collective, an initiative set to eradicate Slave Labour, and she recently launched the 'Art of Womxn' program.

Together the share insights into fast and slow fashion, and the impacts of these on beauty culture, planet and people. Kerry shares her awakening into style and adornment as spiritual practices catalysed by her personal experiences working in Fast Fashion, and raised as a mixed race woman in a white family. She talks about her explorations of somatic and embodiment practices for trauma resolution and for growing our felt sense of authenticity and intuition; powerful style guides that birth our magnetism. We learn that to fully transmit our beauty, royalty and serenity through our style means that we need to let go of misguided perceptions and masks we wear. Letting go of these, and the old pieces in our wardrobes, is a way of releasing constructed identities that no longer serve us; a way of aligning with our wellbeing and the essence of ourselves as we start to inhabit the natural harmonic place of resonance with who we are.

Andres brings together innovative approaches to leadership aiming to forge change that embraces the wisdom from ancient cultures and deep work with nature. He is the founding partner of the 'Bio-Leadership Project', co-founder of 'Way of Nature UK', and a guide to contemporary rites of passage that support deep transformation.

Andres shares his experiences of guiding people on nature quests; formative experiences of observation and listening to nature that restore a sense of belonging and release us from culturally dominant patterns of separation. He shares his work with Bio-Leadership Fellowship, a community that brings together likeminded businesses and intelligence from all over the world seeking to foster a new culture of progress in reciprocity with nature and community based on five core stories that are emerging in the world. We learn that nature is our greatest teacher and a paradise that affirms the sacredness of life. Everything is in constant flow and changing, and tuning into life's fluidity will ground us and provide the capabilities to be adaptable during times of upheaval and uncertainty. Nature guides us into understanding our vital role as part of the natural world. When we rekindle a connection with nature, a new intelligence emerges, and a sense of wholeness, beauty and wonder grows, that naturally pulls us into envisioning a more beautiful world.

They illuminate the reasons why the world's largest democracy is failing, what that means for the world and the silver linings of community activism, crisis innovation, international support and courageous journalism that are emerging under the weight of this crisis. Shruti shares insights into living a creative life as a filmmaker navigating complex ideas and companies in a quest for truths that connect us with authentic voices and brave narratives. She speaks about the importance of working with good teams that can lead and support each other in reciprocity with kindness and empathy.

How do we move towards truthful personal power during times of polarisation? In this episode entitled Enveloped In Essence Of Gold, Amisha talks to Diahann Holder, an international Soul Success and Radiance Coach, Conscious Entrepreneur and Spiritual Healer.

She hosts transformational empowerment programmes and private coaching alongside retreats and events to awaken awareness within the body, minds and souls. Amisha and Diahann explore the idea that the polarised complexities emerging in our world today can no longer be held by our current personal and systemic capacities. They are a call for an archaic revival, a time for reclamation of ancestral wisdom and practices, and for embodying our truths. Diahann believes that by tending and nurturing our internal worlds we will equip ourselves with resources and embodied resilience needed to face external challenges whilst retaining our sense of freedom and joy. She talks about how by fiercely standing in our personal truths, we will flourish brave relationships that bring alive a sense of deep connection, shared values, courage and happiness. They share that doing what we can with what we have in the moment, and not spiritually bypassing intelligence that lays beyond our perceived limitation, is essential for birthing new visions of collective potentiality. We learn that in order to flourish a compelling future with the greatest possible outcome, we need to learn to give to others by building upon the energy and feeling behind our actions for the greater good. Daily rituals, letting go of our seriousness and learning to trust in our own mystery will help us reclaim personal power ultimately enveloping us in our golden essence of life.

Rob shares powerful examples from his latest book of how communities can de-activate this destructive way of being and step back into collective imagination. He talks about his work with Transition movement in Transition Towns, such as Totness, where communities are reimagining and rebuilding their world; setting examples of how we can imagine and build a new culture and tell a new story of positivity and hope for the future. We learn that in order to re-map our dysfunctional societies we need to re-activate our collective imagination. We need to give people a taste of a different future and spaces for exploring possibility. We need to re-imagine our relationship with technology, spend time in nature and with practices for quieting our minds, carve intentional time to be creative, to play and tell stories. The North Stars of our future are shining in the fine details we observe and in the ways we intertwine these.

Lily shares her experience and challenges building Impossible, applying cutting edge tech to build a digital community and gift economy. Together they reflect that we don't need expensive apparatus to encourage a shift of consciousness and the activation of generous community spirit. It is the combination of all instruments and skills available to humankind that will afford us the co-creation of new types of conscious consumerism and dynamic communities for the future. We learn that listening to each other, taking small actions and making more conscious lifestyle choices aligned with our personal truths, are the mirrors of hope that will affect change of the mainstream and the political economic status quo, so we may conceptualise new outcomes for society.

How do we create a world in which everything is sacred? In this episode entitled Planting Future Intelligence, Amisha talks to Clare Dubois, an environmentalist, social entrepreneur and inspirational speaker. She is the founder and CEO of TreeSisters.org, a global women's movement leading social change and tropical reforestation. Clare's holistic approach aims to activate collective cultural transformation and feminine leadership principles to restore our reciprocity with nature. In this uplifting conversation, Amisha and Clare explore we can activate paradigm shifts away from dominant, extractive and patriarchal culture into a thriving reality guided by leadership with feminine principles and in reciprocity with nature. Clare shares that in order to flourish this kind of leadership we need to open up to our infinite possibilities and capacities as humans by falling from our minds into our hearts. Clare talks about her awakening into mobilising women and environmental activism catalysed by a car crash into a tree that gifted her a unique vision of the future. She speaks of the challenges of being an activist for restoring feminine principles and nature in systems that devalue and destruct these. Her organisation Treesisters.org is a powerful antidote; a sisterhood with a call to action to restore our forests and feminine principles. It supports women to restore their relationship with life as an intelligence and history entwined with nature by listening to their deeper truths, redefining and embodying their sovereignty. We learn that we cannot create a new world with an economy that requires death of nature and subjugation of peoples. For a new world to emerge, old systems need to collapse. We need to slow down, listen to our bodies and honour ourselves as miracles in sacred relationship with life. We need to relearn what it means to be human by linking arms with sacred intelligence. That way we will plant beautiful forests for a reciprocal future.

Together Amisha and Joe explore their life changing experiences of grief and death as a constant life process that prepares us for crisis and a life lived from the heart. They describe these as a powerful initiation, where we meet vulnerability and resilience as skills that can help us build life and businesses drawing on the wisdom of compassion and love in service to humanity and ecologies. They talk about male privileges, societal biases and generational brutalism that have constructed skewed perceptions of masculinity forming destructive norms of how we do business, design products and build society. We learn there is a sea change occurring with men are blossoming new brotherhoods. These are spaces where men purposefully teach men how to speak emotions and vulnerabilities; how to live their dreams from the heart and how to integrate histories of destruction, extraction and toxic behavior so the pendulum of change may swing to balance masculine and feminine for a wholehearted future.

How can we walk the paths of tradition to become true collaborators with nature? In this episode entitled The Wonderment Of Our Nature, Amisha talks with Sam Lee, Mercury Prize-nominated and BBC Folk Award-winning singer, conservationist and curator. Sam is a folk music collector and specialist with a passion for wilderness studies and nature connection sharing and interpreting ancient oral music from Britain and Ireland. Sam works holistically in challenging the very nature of our heritage music in the 21st Century and he will soon release his 1st book about the songs of 'The Nightingale'. Amisha and Sam explore oral folk traditions as initiations into a way of life in harmony with nature. Sam describes folk songs as the stories that hold the wisdom of our ancestors, the old stories that connect us to renovation, adoration and the essence of the land. Together the talk about the unfolding of Sam's calling into folk and nature's song; a journey of intention, deep listening and experiencing nature from a sensory place with an activists heart. Sam shares his profound encounter with the beautiful song of the Nightingale, which led him to create an immersive and sensory pilgrimage where we can experience the concerts of this endangered bird species. It is an enchanting way to experience the birds in their habitat whilst bringing us into tune with nature's beauty through folk song, fireside stories and community. In his new book, Sam gathers the stories of 'The Nightingale' giving insights into the bird's significance in different cultures. We learn that nature is the cord principle of life and that the pandemic offers the opportunity for us to become its true collaborators by honouring our interbeingness and the wisdom traditions of song; by investing our money into its conservation, sustainable forestry and sustainable agriculture preventing vast habitat loss and population crash of species.

How can we make better choices with what we have and who we are for the good of humanity? In this episode entitled Collective Empowerment From The Heart, Amisha talks with Nasreen Sheikh, a survivor of modern-day slavery, social entrepreneur, human rights advocate and an international speaker. Born in a small rural village on the border of India and Nepal, she escaped forced marriage, child labor and extreme poverty risking everything to experience freedom. Today she runs several social enterprises working to eradicate modern-day slavery and advocating for basic human rights. Nasreen reveals her life's path from her childhood living in underserved communities falling victim to modern day slavery, her escape from this 'modern war' into birthing her life's calling as a global campaigner and budding social entrepreneur empowering women, girls and local artisans. Her work transforms the lives of many exploited by fashion sweatshop culture fuelled by our habits and systems of over-consumption. Carelessly designed toxic fashion supply chains, not only exploit humans, but pollute our rivers, our soil and our air, perpetuate sickness, disease and death. Nasreen shares that raising awareness of these destructive impacts and simultaneously securing basic human rights, such as nutritious food, clean water, shelter, health care, education, safe environment and access to technology in underserved communities will forge systemic and cultural change needed to create a future where we may collectively thrive. Together they explore the potency of good leadership, good technology and the cultivation of our intuition as essential support systems for solving the world's biggest problems, to secure basic human rights and to form a new society, where we are active leaders and change-makers. We learn that we have agency over our lives to break free from the conditioning of systems and cultures that don't serve the good of humanity. Every small action and decision we make has impact and can be of service; whatever we choose will be our future.

She is currently a popular teacher and mentor for women worldwide on topics such as Feminine Wisdom and Evolutionary Culture. Together Amisha and Sarah recognise the current season as a gift for regenesis, reclamation and reconnection into ways of being innate to our nature and grounded in infinite potentiality of our souls. It is a time to cultivate quiet practices that bring us into resonance with awe-inspiring creativity, higher consciousness and Earth. Sarah shares insights into her meditative writing practice that opens doorways to feminine wisdom and blueprints for the future through myths, stories, alchemy and science. Her eco-feminist novel 'GAIA CODEX', is a visionary activation into feminine wisdom as a collective experience in story form, a book club in a tree planting sisterhood, and experiences in multiple media mediums. As students of goddesses and archetypes, they reveal that embodying feminine wisdom means to be aligned with our courage, our inner calling and potentiality so we can bring forth clarity of vision, creativity and beauty. It means to practice discernment that can be somatically guided, so we may cultivate ideas that enhance life for all. We learn that Virtual Reality can provide us with eye-opening and visceral experiences that give us more agency by growing our consciousness, empathy and communion with nature. Such fertile applications of technology are invitations for rewilding our evolutionary paths to remedy the extractive 'hunger culture' of our times.

How do you bring your idea to life and make disruptive change in this world? In this conversation entitled Powered By The Fire Of Being, Amisha talks to Miki Agrawal, social entrepreneur and founder of acclaimed social enterprises: WILD, THINX & TUSHY. She is also the author of the #1 best-selling books 'DO COOL SH*T' and 'DISRUPT-HER', a modern manifesto that questions & confronts thirteen major areas in our lives - money, career, relationships, friendships, the culture of owning "more stuff", perfectionism, takedown culture etc - and disrupts them one by one. Miki shares her experiences of growing powerful businesses birthed as responses to social and environmental challenges, designed as solutions that disrupt cultural norms by moving society forward without band aids. She shares how she understands failure as revelation and her entrepreneurial paths as learning experiences that are about growing partnerships and business models that can be awesome spaces for exploring ground-breaking work, where we can celebrate the soulful parts of our existence and human experience. Together they speak about take down culture that's fired up by social media etiquette of shaming and perfectionism resulting in generations caught up in fear of stepping out, taking creative risks and leaps with new ideas. They reveal that the antidotes are innovations and social media conversations focused on celebrating and building community, human connection, belonging and wellness of body and spirit. Miki shares the story behind creating TUSHY, the company that has revolutionised how we poop by reducing use of toilet paper, and providing toilets to communities that didn't have them. We learn that we can reclaim our sense of agency, worthiness and creativity by unwiring our indoctrinations guided by the principles of the disrupter triangle, explained in Miki's book ''DISRUPT-HER'. They share that listening to our intuition, resting and healing is an investment that will see us act from a place of abundance, trust and solidarity and participate in equality and wealth formation.

What medicines may we use to restore our threads of connections with ourselves, each other and Earth? In this episode entitled Apothecary For Our Times, Amisha talks to Charlotte Pulver, a modern day alchemist and lover of the waters. Being born into a lineage of apothecarians, she has a background in natural healthcare, studying and practising various medical systems of healing for 20+ years. She has been hosting water ceremonies and pilgrimages and is currently writing a book on London's springs and wells. Charlotte shares how her personal journey with nature's elixirs and potions intuitively unfolded a life path into studies with various healers, Tibetan and Mayan medicine initiating her present work with mental and emotional trauma, and gynecology based on Mayan self care practices, Pranayama and meditation practices. Together they explore opportunities and examples for alternative healing traditions during the current pandemic and how the powers of allopathic and alternative medicines can work in synergy to support our health. Charlotte reveals her creation of an immune support packs for frontline workers bringing together alternative medicines and vitamin essentials that are available, affordable and that work. She shares her work with pilgrimages; prayers in motion and magical quests exploring the springs, wells and waterways of London. They are ways to learn the deeper meanings of ancestral and sacred places in the city whilst honouring our connections with the land through rituals of reciprocity. We learn that connecting with mineral rich water sources is deeply healing and reminds us who we are. The pandemic has raised how we view the world and our place within, and our capacity for radical transformation lies in embracing the unknown, our interconnectedness and bodies as a whole ecosystem like a forest. We have to be in right relationship with Earth by connecting to the roots of things, our intuition and our land, and take responsibility for our health with good soil needs, good food, good internal feeding, mineral rich watering and good immune support drawing from the Earth's apothecary with reciprocity.

How can we re-contextualise our relationships and interactions in a time of post truth and late stage capitalism? In this episode entitled Entrusted With Everything, Entitled To Nothing, Amisha talks with Alnoor Ladha, political strategist, writer and activist. Alnoor's work focuses on the intersection of political organising, systems thinking, structural change and narrative work. He comes from a Sufi lineage and writes about the crossroads of politics and spirituality in troubled times. He was the Executive Director of The Rules (TR), is a co-founder of Tierra Valiente and a board member of Culture Hack Labs and The Emergence Network. Amisha and Alnoor contemplate our current moment of polarisation as an initiation into non-dualistic thought and being, where we face our personal role in the destruction, entitlement and victimhood paradigms of late stage capitalism, so we may become comfortable with its complexities and garner spiritual practice from its currents. Alnoor believes that our spiritual work accelerates our political work and that solidarity is not a political concept, but an embodied spiritual practice and a pathway to spiritual development. He reveals that in order to re-contextualise our dominant political and value constructs, we need to replace these with containers of deprogramming and contemplation, where our ideas can transcend traditions of ownership, growth, accumulation, destruction, and where we can plant roots in shared values, so our souls can do the work we being called forth to do. We learn that we have to take back responsibilities of meaning making, so that we may birth new stories and context moving beyond our belief systems of false gods. Synthesising wisdom traditions with Western technique may be the way to remove the psychosis of colonisation, hierarchy, domination and extraction; and to be in dialogue with our living planet and in practice of solidarity, contemplation, spiritual practices, meditation or work with psychedelics will guide us to become initiated into the bounty of life that we have been entrusted with.

How can critical situations give rise to a profoundly different world? In this episode entitled Visioning Our Future, Amisha talks to Dr. Melissa Sterry, transdisciplinary design scientist and complex systems theorist Dr. Melissa Sterry is recognised as a world-leading authority on the science, technology, design, and thinking that could help humanity to build a better world. One of the world's most high profile futurists, Melissa specialises in futures in the built environment, utilities, manufacturing, engineering, design, publishing, media and communications, she has contributed to groundbreaking projects and publications. Amisha and Melissa explore possibilities for our future and how we can meet the challenges and potential of our time with a renaissance of science and creativity. Together they speak of how the adversity of current events is showing us our interdependence and forcing us to shed that, which is no longer working and to design solutions for cultural transformation and for a better life. Melissa takes us on an eye-opening journey of examples how nature and cultures inspire her insights into eco-mimicry and how her latest research weaves together complex systems of ancient myths with the science of the species. She speaks of fire science and the importance of ancestral understanding of our landscapes, nature's elements and collaborations for coming years as our climate and our landscapes are adapting to dramatic changes and our relationship with our world is changing swiftly. We learn that AI provides profound ways to read changes to our global landscapes helping us understand what we are experiencing, how to work with it and how to build positive relationships with nature. She addresses climate skepticism and confusing theories on climate change and how our fear of change is showing up in divided humanity. She believes the less entangled in this fear, the better we will fuel future systems with vision, innovation and kindness inspired by our ancestors, in harmony with our natural world and guided by our North Stars.

How can values form our pathways into future society? In this episode entitled Standing On The Shoulders Of Our Ancestors, Amisha talks to Mandeep Rai, a global authority on values and author of 'The Values Compass: What 101 Countries Teach Us About Purpose, Life and Leadership' taking us on a journey to 101 countries around the world, highlighting a single, unique value that has defined each nation's history, culture, and global influence. She has travelled to more that 150 countries and reported as a journalist for the BBC World Service and Reuters, amongst others. Amisha and Mandeep speak about how values form who we are, how they are the foundations that bring out the best in our different cultures and how they are a celebration of all the beauty we hold in our hearts. They share that we may change and adjust our values in small steps and in big shifts according to our life cycles. Mandeep's book travels through a diversity and variety of values from allover the world guiding us to connect us with our own choice of values. She believes that when we become clear of our values we live from a place of integrity and depth necessary for stepping into true leadership. Together they explore how the current season during this pandemic presents the opportunity to assess and align ourselves with our values in order to contribute our gifts and talents. We learn that living authentically in our values is a gift of service to our communities. This presents an invitation to build a more equal society rooted in community, where we honour the values and cultural practices of our ancestors bringing these forth for the future care of those vulnerable in our midst, especially the elderly, who's shoulders we stand on.

How can we initiate a culture rooted in the cycles of nature and life? In this episode entitled Living Attuned To Life's Cycles, Amisha talks to Ruby May, an educator, activist, coach and community leader cultivating a world in which cyclical awareness is integrated into the way we relate and create. The themes of empowerment and who we are beyond our conditioning are threads that weave between all her offerings. In this thoughtful conversation, Amisha and Ruby consider lives lived guided by cycles that exist within and outside of our bodies; our hormonal cycles and the seasonal cycles of nature. We learn how solstices and equinoxes can be pivot points of reflection offering the opportunity to deepen our listening, stillness and the visioning of our future attuned with nature's revelations. Sharing their personal experiences, they speak of the wisdom and insights we might garner when listening and entrusting life to these powerful rhythms. Ruby reveals her ways of living guided by her womb cycles and how it brings forth kinship with our bodies and connection with our creativity. We learn that this way of life offers fundamental pathways to break away from action-mode systems re-connecting us with our sense of play and different rest practices that activate our creativity and integrate our human experiences, especially our vital descend into our personal 'underworlds' of deeper layers of pain, grief and fear. Living attuned with cycles of life offers opportunities to shift our dominant culture re-channeling our values and resources into supportive community that understands the signals and rhythms of our bodies as deep intelligence that guides life and aligns us with nature; a culture that invites the power of vulnerability and intuition so that new archetypes may emerge amongst us with intention and presence.

How can we cultivate embodiment of our intuition as lived experiences? In this episode entitled Ask Amisha Anything, Amisha Ghadiali, our beautiful host answers some of your questions. We put out a call for you to send in your questions so that they could be answered on the show. Themes explored through these questions include: what makes an episode of this podcast beautiful, what are archetypes and how can they guide us, and what is the power of online communities. We enquire if the word leadership is important in shifting paradigms and how to manage staying up to date and not overwhelmed in the age of information. Amisha shares some of the processes behind her recently published book 'Intuition: Access your inner wisdom, Trust your instincts, Find your path', which is a guide of nine principles and over 50 practices that support us in listening and expanding our intuitive skills.

What power does beauty have in shaping our world? "Beautiful leadership is a way of being in the world that honours why you are truly here, and what is possible. This is the leadership of now - of soul - of feeling into what this future call forth in us and in bringing yourself into alignment with this vision - so that you can embody it in this world in small and perhaps big ways. This is the time to not be a follower, but to dive deep into the gifts of your intuition, and bring what is in your heart alive, with courage and grace. Consider it more as becoming a leader of your own life, living with intentionality and the beauty of your soul. This creates ripples. We need you, this is our time." Amisha Ghadiali In this first episode of the year entitled A Call to Beautiful Leadership, our host Amisha Ghadiali, takes us on an inspiring exploration on why beauty is important and what happens if we open ourselves to live with this presence and grace, no matter what the circumstances. As we find ourselves starting the year amidst more lockdowns and fear, this episode shows us why beauty is important, and what it means to cultivate a reciprocal relationship with this aspect of our aliveness. We explore the power of the way of beauty and the call to beautiful leadership. In the second part of this episode, some graduates of The Beautiful Leadership Immersion share their experiences of the first programme and what it means to them to be a beautiful leader. "Beauty has the power to move us, to stop us in our tracks, to transform us. Beauty is deep and layered. Beauty invites us into a space of possibility, creativity and imagination. Beauty allows us to notice where we are, where we have been and where we might go. Beauty embraces complexity, and the paradox of our humanity. Beauty cracks us open, captivates us and brings us to grace. Beauty connects us to the transcendent nature of our soul. Beauty loves the messiness, the process, the awkwardness, the imperfections. Beauty invites a recognition of the sacred and our interconnectedness. Beauty opens pathways to divine receptivity with the more than human world. Beauty connects us to the power of our dreams. Beauty sustains us through our challenges and regenerates us. Beauty does not ask for certainty. Beauty leads us to wise decisions. Beauty is a path of intention. Beauty is an offering. Beauty is a whole approach to life."

How can we cultivate our intelligence of intuition? In this special episode entitled A Compass For A Beautiful Future (our last of 2020), spiritual teacher Sally Kempton turns the mic and interviews our visionary host Amisha Ghadiali. Sally Kempton was our guest on Episode 8 and Episode 92. She is one of today's most authentic spiritual teachers. She teaches devotional contemplative tantra—an approach to practice that creates a fusion of knowing and loving. Sally is the author of Meditation for the Love of It, a groundbreaking book on meditation, and Awakening Shakti. During this past year, Amisha brought alive a book 'Intuition: Access your inner wisdom, Trust your instincts, Find your path'. The book shares nine principles, and over 50 practices for cultivating our intuition. In this conversation, Amisha reveals her personal journey of forming a relationship with her intuition; the influence of her upbringing, the de-conditioning from her intellectual patterns, her wilder explorations and near death experiences, all of which guided her to deepen her understanding of the unseen worlds. She shares her learning experiences with teachers and mystics and eventually her coming of age moment in the presence of a tree arriving in a place of trust with herself, her healing modalities and her intuition. We learn that we all have intuition; an embodied intelligence of individual truths and trusts not guided by systems outside of ourselves. However the dominant cultures that forge our systems have somehow tricked us into thinking that we do not have this innate quality or wisdom within. The practices described in Amisha's book gently guide us into ways of recognising, refining and cultivating this intelligence as part of our evolution; ways of unleashing this intelligence as a compass leading us into a beautiful future.

How do we create pathways into living our full humanity? In this episode entitled Ecology Of Listening, Amisha speaks with Hop Hopkins, the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Sierra Club working to promote economic justice and protection to those most affected by climate change and environmental degradation. He has worked in the labor, the climate justice and the housing justice movement. Hop is an Arborist and a Master Gardener living in community and creating a network of residential food forests supporting the development of stable, human-scale solar self-reliant neighbourhood communities. Amisha and Hop explore listening to Earth as a practice of acknowledging our surroundings and our inner voices; an expansive opportunity for becoming conscious, compassionate and empathetic. They reveal how the pandemic, climate change and economy are interrelated and how the overarching system we live in impacts us all in its interconnectedness. They share how the global changes activated during the past year are an invitation to use our liberatory imagination in order to craft new governance and economic models, and new models of community support. Hop shares his personal experiences of living in a self-reliant community and the advantages of such a support system and sharing economy, especially in times of crisis and times of unlearning. He believes that fostering a culture of failing, learning and humility will help us form pathways into collective leadership rooted in sharing and self-governing communities where we may flourish into living our full humanity. This podcast is part of a collaboration with St.Ethelburga's called 'Listening to each other, Listening to Earth'.

How do we become spiritual anchors amidst the sea of change? In this episode entitled The Age Of Synthesis, Amisha talks with Richard Rudd, an spiritual teacher, writer and award-winning poet. All of Richard's travels and studies coalesced into a synthesis 'Gene Keys' exploring the miraculous possibilities inherent in human DNA. Today Richard continues to teach and travel all over the world applying the 'Gene Keys' across many fields, from the practical to the mystical. Amisha and Richard explore intuition as our higher wisdom intelligence that supersedes the fears we are sold and sidesteps the instabilities our systems impose on us. Its signals and languages connect us into the deeper intelligence held within our bodies; a vital skill for grounding and guiding us in our life choices during uncertain times. Richard reveals that intuition led him to great adventures in his younger years travelling the world off the beaten track gathering a feast of experiences that opened up his lifelong spiritual exploration and realisation that life is magical, and that stretching ourselves into unknown places opens many unexpected doors. They speak about how his adventures of meeting people allover the world and the deeper studies of various spiritual teachings led him to creating 'Gene Keys'; a wisdom school that offers a transformational journey designed like a labyrinth where we can move through different levels expanding our consciousness blossoming our gifts into purpose, love, peace and prosperity. We learn that we are living in a time of preparation for a new epoch, The Age Of Synthesis, where ancient spiritual teachings and lineages will interact with our playfulness and joy, so we may challenge and stretch them respectfully to gain fresh perspectives and embody them as earthly experiences and practices to uphold us and our future generations amidst a sea of change.

What kind of world could we believe in and tend to through practices of deep listening? In this episode entitled The Quiet Revolutions Inside Our Hearts, Amisha speaks with Kailea Frederick, a mother of Tahltan, Kaska and Black American ancestry. Her work sits at the intersection of climate justice, spiritual ecology and resilience thinking. Kailea is the Editor for Loam, a Climate Commissioner for the city of Petaluma, and a facilitator through her own project 'Earth Is `Ohana'. She co-authored 'Compassion In Crisis: Learning To Live in an Age of Disaster'. Amisha and Kailea talk about the practice of deep listening as way of being in dialogue with Honua, the trees, the rocks, the elements, ourselves and each other; a vital tool for navigating our complex lives whilst experiencing the discomforts, unpredictability and imbalances of climate change. Kailea shares practical ways of listening to Earth as a climate commissioner working on climate emergency frameworks translating data and charts, observations and climate transitions into guiding documents for crisis management during climate emergencies. Together they explore communities creatively coming together to forge ways forward by uplifting voices and narratives that offer new perspectives and grounding us in simple life, hope, resilience and spiritual practice. Kailea reveals the challenges of being a parent and together they explore the joys and the murkier moments of being a guardian during these times that do not promise safety nor balance, but nonetheless the rewards of personal growth and widening perspectives. We learn that deep listening is an act and gift of reciprocity that can help us shape spaces of shared values where we may find new formats of balance, common goals and a community moving towards the creations of systemic changes. They encourage us to observe the quiet revolutions inside our hearts so we can become the lightbearers of alternative perspectives that will guide the way. This podcast is part of a collaboration with St.Ethelburga's called 'Listening to each other, Listening to Earth'.

How do we birth a new paradigm through transforming our story? In this episode entitled Dancing In Each Others Radiance, Amisha talks with Rita Hraiz, visionary artist and a respected teacher of Ageless Wisdom and Esoteric Psychology. Rita is deeply versed in the Vajrayana aspect of Tibetan Buddhism and a student of Kalachakra Tantra. She is the designer and founder of Ethical clothing brand Mudra. Amisha and Rita explore how we can honour our radiance and authenticity through the style, materials and adornments we choose to wear and how the clothing and colours we wear effect us. Rita shares her personal journey of her spiritual awakening embracing her identity and creative gifts as a divine presence. She reveals her creation of MUDRA, a clothing brand that is rooted in the beauty of colour therapy, in materials and silhouettes that embrace women's personal expressions moving past conventional conditioning and perceptions of shapes and sizes. MUDRA represents the essence of her heart. It is regenerative and low in waste production, it lets cultures and traditions flourish, encourages peoples gifts and skills in Nepal, Bali and India, and most of all it is a path that lets RIta unfold her own spiritual journey. Together they explore the power of adornments as pathways to our authenticity bringing meaning to what we wear, opening up layers of our souls essence, forging deeper connection with divinity and presenting possibility for the reclamation of heritage. We learn about multiple prophecies that guide us to balance the divine feminine and masculine during these shifting times. It is a time where we may gift ourselves a relationship with our creativity and our stillness so that we may rise into healing and love for ourselves and each other becoming butterflies that dance in the power of each others radiance.

How do we stitch a new garment that fits all of humanity and nature? In this episode entitled Stitching Tapestries of Worthiness, Amisha talks with Sonya Renee Taylor, Founder and Radical Executive Officer of 'The Body is Not An Apology', a digital media and education company. Sonya's creation as an award winning performance poet, activist and transformational leader unapologetically leans into radical self-love as a path of liberation. Amisha and Sonya explore the current collective moment where oppressive systems are exposed for their illusions designed to keep us separated from self-love by burying us in individualism, shame and separation. They recognise this moment of interdependence as an invitation offering us ways to make choices from a place of possibility; an invitation that may open us to the reclamation of our worthiness. Sonya believes that we have been systemically disconnected from our own sense of divineness, our sense of enoughness. She shares that we have to raise our consciousness as an act of reclamation to break free from the systems of hierarchy and enforced value categories that have relentlessly conditioned us to prove ourselves. Together they reveal that in order to participate in self-love we have to allow ourselves to be expansive. We have to find the courage to revisit our original stories and see how they've shaped our place of value. They share that radical self-love journeys move us into creation of intentional reciprocal and resonant relationships connecting us with the full tapestry of community in order to help us magnify the spectrum of our experiences of self-love. We learn that radical self-love is the fabric that will help us weather the storms of life. Radical self-love is the love that offers pathways to connect us with our soul truths so that we may participate in a vision for a collective future by contributing our true passions moving gracefully into the fullness of our humanity.

How do we create structures with life at the centre of their being? In this episode entitled Human Gifts Of Kinship, Amisha talks with Pat McCabe 'Woman Stands Shining', of the Diné Nation adopted into the Lakota Spiritual Way of Life. She is an international speaker travelling to pray and to share her journey of remembering and listening for the way Home, back to the true nature of being Human Being. Amisha and Pat speak about how the beauty of our names reminds us of our uniqueness, our community spirit and encounters with the mysteries of Earth and life. They talk about Listening to Earth as a practice requiring us to acknowledge that different paradigms co-exist and that we have different ways of being human outside of modern world paradigms. Pat shares her personal stories and encounters with Mother Earth and how she transitioned from a place of deep intellect to a way of somatic knowing. We learn that Earth is always present if we listen and acknowledge ourselves as her beloved children. They explore how indigenous civilisations cultivated ways of knowing that bypassed intellect. We hear how they increased abundance and biodiversity creating ways to thrive continents as living organisms where humans were gifts of kinship that shared knowledge and cultural cross-pollination. They speak about how the loss of their elders during the pandemic means devastating consequences for humanity due to loosing their vital knowledge, language, teachings and ceremony. Pat believes that possibilities are humming in the air leading us into co-creation of new structures with life at the centre of their being. She has been called to lead change of our dividend paradigms with the world's wealth holders to step from investments to restorations activating our radical self-love, self-trust and our freewill to transform money powers to serve the future of humanity and Mother Earth.

Can the powers of our flowing minds expand our language of reciprocity? In this episode entitled The Language Of Our Rivers, Amisha talks to Minna Salami, author, blogger, feminist theorist and lecturer. Minna's blog 'MsAfropolitan' connects feminism with critical reflections on contemporary culture from an Africa-centred perspective. She is the author of 'Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone', which explores universal concepts such as art, beauty, identity, blackness and womanhood with an Africa-centred, decolonial and feminist paradigm. Amisha and Minna explore the idea of beauty and how the poetry, language and willpower we receive from our rivers and from our natural world increases our sensuous knowledge, expands the volume of our integrity and flourishes the gardens of our beauty. Minna describes how the flow that shapes our rivers and the patterns of nature alongside them can inspire systems of power and governmental structures rooted in reciprocity. Minna believes that in the 21st century we are by default born into a multi perspectival approach that shapes our identities and knowledge into worldviews that are a golden opportunity to overcome the complex struggles humankind are facing. They speak about how our societies could utilise the wisdom traditions of our elders, especially our grandmothers as the antidote to the robotisation of our collective psyche during these current times. We learn that listening is beauty; that being present and the small things make us beautiful. They reveal that our complex identities are an opportunity for curiosity and inquiry to understand each other and the human species in greater depth; a powerful opportunity to embrace new perspectives and truths letting our minds flow like roaring rivers of reciprocity, integrity and beauty. This podcast is part of a collaboration with St. Ethelburga's called 'Listening to each other, Listening to Earth'.

How can we keep showing up as active citizens of change? In this episode entitled A Call To Action – A Hope In Hell, Amisha speaks with Jonathon Porritt, an eminent writer, broadcaster and campaigner on sustainable development. He was co-founder & director of Forum For The Future, UK's leading sustainable development charity. Jonathon has been on the front line of environmental campaigning for more than 45 years. He's been a member of the Green Party throughout that time, and has worked tirelessly to promote the solutions to today's converging environmental crises. Amisha and Jonathon talk about the deeper, often unseen, realities that are unfolding during this time in our lives. They reveal how we are circling around tipping points and how the changes of our planet due to global warming are growing a sense of urgency for us to become active citizens in shaping our future. Jonathon believes that the solutions we need are already amongst us and that the energy we are investing in creating impactful climate change and social justice movements can be balanced by staying grounded. Together they share how Earth focused practices and a life lived in reciprocity with nature are essential in order for us to show up with authentic hope and not as 'shiny optimists'. We learn that authentic hope flourishes in a realistic and science based understanding of the nature of the world and our impact on it. They explore how we can draw authentic hope from the life of funghi to form ideas for our progressive movements, and how principles of psychology of change could be accelerated by technology in moving us towards a balancing of systems of powers. Their conversations guide us not to sweat perfectionism and to understand our spiritual insights as an even more powerful call to action from our heartlands than that presented by political ideologies.

Can Earth raise our consciousness into living lives of true reciprocity? In this episode entitled Walking Earth With The Gifts Of The Stars, Amisha speaks with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and a Sundancer in the cosmology of the Lakota Nation. He has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy, and is an international speaker on Peace, Indigenous and Mother Earth perspective. He is the founder, host and executive producer of "First Voices Radio". In 2016 Tiokasin received a Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Amisha and Tiokasin journey along a stream of consciousness guided by Tiokasin's Indigenous cornerstones and his fluid interbeing with Earth and Cosmos. Tiokasin opens up a portal to the Lakota understanding of innocence and elemental consciousness that we can receive by Earth listening to us and teaching us to hear our hearts lessons through its abundant gifts. He reveals how we have constructed systems of fear that condition us to speak tactically, economically and anthropocentrically, instead of naturally. He shares insights into the world of Lakota language, an Earth language of indigenous intelligence embedded in verbs, motion and action that speaks to three dimensions, that knows no war nor gender, and is created to relate and not divide or exclude. Tiokasin's shares that the Corona virus is presenting us with 33 intelligences brought to us at this time to expand our consciousness and to see our future within the Earth. We learn that we can grow to understand the virus in new forms; a pathway to understand the tools and energy of the earth to grow our relationship to the cosmos, and expand us into beings that are guided by the gifts of the stars to live a life of true reciprocity.
