What is wrong with a culture of fast fixes? In this episode entitled No Laughing Matter: Art From the Gutter, Amisha meets sustainable fashion designer and lecturer, Michelle Lowe-Holder. Michelle was inspired to relocate to England from America by the famously radical and innovative fashion design scene. It was here that she became interested in working with more ethical materials and practises and released her first sustainable fashion collection in 2010. Michelle has most recently acquired a surprisingly detailed understanding of teen drug culture, as well as a collection of over 3,000 used nitrous oxide canisters. She has created provocative works of art from her glittering urban forage, which shock audiences by their scale. Together Amisha and Michelle discuss the impact of fast fashion on our mindset and environment, how the 'fast high' of nitrous oxide exemplifies a worrying trend towards disposability and increased waste, and what we as individuals can do to counter such trends. "We need to start changing our mindset about waste in general - how we can repurpose, how we can reuse and how we can value it and change the way we are thinking." ~ Michelle Lowe-Holder Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/07/11/e56-michelle-lowe-holder-on-on-art-repurposing-and-waste-no-laughing-matter-art-from-the-gutter/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

What does it truly mean to be Foolish? In this episode entitled Making a Fool of Yourself to Find Your Truth, Amisha meets professional Fool, Jonathan Kay. For the uninitiated, The Fool exists somewhere in the archetypal space between a clown, your inner child and a guru - and everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Tune in to experience Foolish ways of looking, seeing, being… and flying! Jonathan has been a performer since a young age, travelling and performing with theatres and bands. Something mysterious happened to him in Winchester in the early 80s which led him to be touched by The Fool and his present life's work evolved from there. He now teaches workshops and programmes, as well as continuing to perform and bring The Fool to audiences and initiates across the globe. Together Amisha and Jonathan explore what it really means to make a Fool of ourselves. Jonathan draws on powerful, painful stories to give examples of the depth of his work with The Fool - which is essentially a spiritual practice for him. "You have to have a contained box before you can see that you can play in this contained box and let yourself out. That heads towards self-consciousness, which heads towards consciousness and being open and out of prison." ~ Jonathan Kay Trigger warning: contains themes of suicide and torture Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/07/04/e55-jonathan-kay-on-the-fool-archetypal-play-and-self-realisation-making-a-fool-of-yourself-to-find-your-truth/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

At a time of growing individual and global burnout, how can looking to nature's patterns inspire us to find more sustainable and harmonious ways of living? In this episode entitled The Positive Power of Pattern, Amisha meets with Anna Murray, co-founder of Patternity - a 'conscious creative organisation' working with pattern to inspire more curious, collaborative and connected ways of living. Anna shares her journey with patterns, noticing how they play out in her own life and in the world around her, and speaks about how we can work with pattern awareness to create balance in our lives. During her early career in advertising, Anna became aware that something was very wrong with the way she was using her creativity. This sense of discomfort grew stronger and she began to hear a call to change direction. Anna speaks about the experience of taking a leap of faith to respond to this call and how her life has transformed as a result. As an entrepreneur starting a new business, Anna and her business partner, Grace Winteringham, quickly came up against their own patterns and the patterns of the business culture around her. She tells how they were pushed to change, and to really live Patternity's ethos of interconnectedness, beauty and balance. We hear how the two women repatterned their working lives and company culture to be in balance and harmony with natural patterns. Together Anna and Amisha discuss the cycles that shape our lives on a personal and societal level, the bias we hold against slower, darker aspects of different cycles, and the gifts that come from tracking and tuning into our own cyclical nature. Anna tells us about her decision to approach life with more spirals and fewer stripes and what this means in her day to day life. "We have not been taught to value rest, we want to be in perpetual summer." ~ Anna Murray Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/06/27/e54-anna-murray-on-pattern-cycles-and-balance-the-positive-power-of-pattern/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can we change the world by changing our consciousness? In this episode entitled Oxygenating Beautiful States of Mind, Amisha meets author, investigative journalist and teacher of meditation Alan Clements. Together they explore the nature of meditation, consciousness, beauty and activism. Alan shares the story of his enquiry into the influence of consciousness on consciousness itself, including what inspired him to study "the elements of consciousness that enhance its frequency, luminosity, liberty and enlightenment." We hear about the shift from external exploration - through psychedelics, entheogens, diet and yoga - toward an internal exploration, which led Alan to Burma, to the Mahasi Meditation Centre, and his teacher there. After studying mindfulness meditation in a Burmese monastery for over 20 years, Alan returned to the world of laypeople and now spends his days writing, running retreats and teaching what he has learned to others. He and Amisha speak about the challenges of studying meditation outside the controlled environment of a monastery, and how we can practise mindful intelligence as a way of being in everyday life. Alan shares his beliefs about how monogamous commitment is the way of the future for loving relationships, and why abandoning polyamory allows us to reach greater states of freedom together than we can alone. He tells how - by holding the highest integrity of presence in every moment and encounter - we can each change the world right here, right now and one person at a time. "The most important act of activism today is to be in emotional integrity in the most heightened way - where you are, with whom you're with - and let that be the evidence, should you die, of the greatest gift you gave to the future of life." ~ Alan Clements Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/06/20/e53-alan-clements-on-meditation-intimacy-and-sacred-activism-oxygenating-beautiful-states-of-mind/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can embodiment practises unlock our potential? In this episode entitled Moving Into Our Future Potential, Amisha meets strategist, coach and facilitator Daniela Plattner. Daniela works with movement to unlock and unleash creative confidence. Since playing footsie with Gabrielle Roth - the founder of 5Rhythms - as a child in a New York restaurant, Daniela has been on a profound personal journey with movement: finding her purpose in the place where her greatest pain and her greatest joy meet. Daniela speaks to us about embodiment and movement: what it means to her, how it can transform lives and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives. She speaks about the deep integration that happens when we align our mind and body through conscious movement and how we can tap into the intelligence of our body to help us navigate decisions in our lives. Together Amisha and Daniela share stories of healing and releasing trauma through movement, visualisation and deep listening to the body. "Through my greatest struggles and greatest joys I've again and again come back to the body as my greatest compass and an ally for navigating decisions and choices and life events." ~ Daniela Plattner Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/02/14/e52-daniela-plattner-on-embodiment-movement-and-integration-mind-body-integration-through-movement/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How do the soundscapes of our lives influence us? In this episode entitled The Art, Craft and Science of Sonic Experience, Amisha meets visionary listener, musician, educator, and global citizen Aurelio. Now based in India, Aurelio grew up in Austria and has travelled the world studying the origins and functions of music. Aurelio rejected book-learning in favour of finding embodied experiences of music in daily life around the globe. He speaks of the primal pulses and frequencies that infuse our existence from conception onwards and how these influence our cells, our sense of harmony, and our social rituals. Aurelio tells us about life and works at Svaram - a campus and community in Auroville, dedicated to experience of sound. He talks about the roles of music in our lives - both individually and collectively - and the findings of neurobiological studies into the effects of sound and music on our brains from our earliest moments in utero. Together Aurelio and Amisha explore the ever-changing soundscapes of our lives; from the jungle to the city and from the womb out into the world. "In most indigenous cultures there was a sound event that brought forth manifestation. At the beginning there's the unknown cosmic ocean and then something ignites and starts to throb. All of us come into incarnation in this fluid space where sound travels seven times as fast. We are exposed to pulsation for 9 months...We all have a pulse in ourselves." ~ Aurelio Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/02/07/e51-aurelio-on-sound-mysticism-and-healing-the-art-craft-and-science-of-sonic-experience/ Visit this link to learn more about SVARAM For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How many slaves are making your clothes? In this episode entitled Slaves to Fashion: a Voice for the Voiceless, Amisha meets author, consultant and social entrepreneur Safia Minney, who founded ethical fashion brands People Tree and Po-Zu. Safia speaks to us about modern slavery: all the ways it is hidden in plain view and what she and others are doing to change the broken system that perpetuates it. Amisha and Safia discuss how the very fabric of our environments is part of a tangled web of human rights abuses and environmental degradation. We hear stories of some of the 41 million slaves worldwide who have been trapped in bonded labour, human trafficking. As awareness grows around modern day slavery and legislation begins to come in, big companies are forced to account for the treatment of workers in their supply chains. However, more still needs to be done. Safia tells us how we can act to make a change, refusing to stay complicit in a polluting and abusive system where the human and environmental cost of high-street fashion prices is just too high. "We need to find that appreciation for our food, for our clothes, for the products that we use and understand that these are not given to us. Nature doesn't give them to us free of charge- they come with environmental costs and they come with environmental risks and those risks are often borne by the most vulnerable people in the world" - Safia Minney Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/01/31/e50-safia-minney-on-modern-slavery-ethical-fashion-and-sustainability-slaves-to-fashion-a-voice-for-the-voiceless/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can we access and maintain a perpetual flow state of ease, abundance and inspiration? In this episode entitled Finding Our Way to Flow Consciousness… and Staying There, Amisha shares a moment with consciousness researcher, serial entrepreneur and Co-Founder of the Flow Consciousness Institute Justin Faerman. How would it feel to have a continuous experience of being effortlessly supported by life, knowing that all the resources that you need to thrive and experience exponential growth and success will flow to you with ease? In this episode Justin introduces us to the experience of flow consciousness and reveals some of the entry points we can all find in our own lives to tap into it. Justin shares the foundational importance of learning how to tune into our intuition, shifting from a focus on the mind to a greater awareness of felt sense in and around our bodies. Together he and Amisha share their own journeys of learning to access and follow their intuition, as well as discussing some of the latest scientific research into intuition and consciousness. We hear the story of how Justin came to be living and working with flow consciousness, his experience of sharing what he has learned with others and some of the obstacles people face on their journey to embracing flow consciousness as a way of life. He sets out the conditions - both internal and external - that can support us to step into flow consciousness, how to rewire our perceptions to achieve an ongoing state of flow and how we can perpetuate the experience once we have accessed it. "We tend to only be consciously aware of the macro decisions - the big ones - but they make up the smallest percentage of the decisions we make each day. It's the small decisions that make the most impact collectively." ~ Justin Faerman Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/01/24/e49-justin-faerman-on-flow-consciousness-intuition-and-effortlessness-finding-our-way-to-flow-consciousness-and-staying-there/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How can rediscovering our creativity free us to thrive? In this episode entitled 64 Million Artists: Unlocking The Creative Potential of a Nation, Amisha meets creative consultant and entrepreneur Jo Hunter. Jo grew up very creative, but as the pressures of adult life kicked in, like so many of us she became focused on being fast and being perfect, rather than being creative. When the hectic pace of her 'dream job' began to take its toll, Jo took a month out to slow down and reconnect. She asked people around her to set her some creative challenges, and working through them one by one she rediscovered her own creativity - her capacity to take risks and to play - and it changed her life. Now with her organisation 64 Million Artists Jo works to help others reconnect with their own creativity. The team go into a variety of workplaces from factories to hospitals and challenge people to step out of their comfort zones and into the realm of new, playful experiences. Jo speaks about the structural, social and organisational obstacles to creativity and how we can bust through them to unleash our creative selves for the benefit of all. "Creativity is the essence of who you are, it's absolutely connected to spirituality and the true expression of yourself. When you are not really being who you are it's an immediate blocker to being creative."~ Jo Hunter Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/01/17/e48-jo-hunter-on-creativity-shame-and-connection-64-million-artists-unlocking-the-creative-potential-of-a-nation/ For Amisha's Presence Mentoring Programme - https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/

In this episode entitled Lost Connections: Finding Others Instead of Ourselves, Amisha meets author and journalist Johann Hari. Johann's best-selling book 'Chasing the Scream' is focused on addiction and the war on drugs, while his most recent publication 'Lost Connections' dives into the deeper causes and unexpected solutions for the rising tide of depression and anxiety. Together Johann and Amisha discuss how our society and culture is failing to meet people's needs in the most basic way. They speak about the discourse of rage and humiliation that dominates our current socio-political context and the origins and impacts of our addiction to 'junk values'. During his 30,000 mile quest to understand depression, addiction and connection Johann encountered people from all walks of life seeking to heal the epidemic of depression and anxiety. We hear stories from across the globe of communities banding together to recover collective control, meaning and connection. "The best journeys are not where you find yourself, the best journeys are where you find other people..." ~ Johann Hari Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/01/10/e47-johann-hari-on-depression-addiction-and-connection/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How do we recognise the golden threads that weave together a full and inspired life? In this episode entitled Understanding the Beauty of Our Worlds, our show notes writer Lucy White sits down with founder and host of the podcast Amisha Ghadiali so that you can tune into where this project has come from. Amisha shares the story of the different threads running through her life that are lovingly woven together in The Future Is Beautiful book and podcast. What Amisha is offering with this podcast and everything she does is permission to be human, to live beyond silos and allow the different elements of our inner and outer life to be present in all we do. She is interested in the full spectrum of our experience, honouring and celebrating our challenges as well as our joy. Together Amisha and Lucy discuss learning to embrace and enter willingly into our darkness and the collective shadows we all hold. Furthermore, how to get in touch with our core intuition in order to transform our deepest and earliest patterning - and of course how all of this can lead us to a wide open beautiful future. "We can't create a beautiful future by bypassing everything we don't like and creating a fake utopia that sits on top of it. There's a lot of power in our darkness and that's often where the treasure is." - Amisha Ghadiali Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/01/03/e46-amisha-ghadiali-on-courage-receptivity-and-elegant-rebellion/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How can we adapt to the inevitability of climate-induced societal collapse? In this episode entitled Acceptance and Evolution in the Face of Global Meltdown, Amisha sits down with strategist and educator Jem Bendell. Jem published a paper in July 2018 introducing the concept of Deep Adaptation and stating his belief in the inevitability of climate-induced societal collapse within the next 10 years. Jem first became an environmentalist as a teenager in 1988 and went on to train as in climate science during his degree before moving into the field of sustainable business. Alarming data on melting ice and permafrost drew Jem back to climate science, where he soon realised that what we see today are many signs of runaway climate change, which has already gone beyond our control. Through his work on Deep Adaptation, Jem offers three questions for humanity at this time: what do we most value, what must we let go of and what must we restore that has been lost? Jem speaks about sharing his message with school children and sustainable development professionals alike, the fascinating responses he has received to his work and the resulting existential and spiritual shifts in his own life. "The big challenge of our time is to make sure that when our hearts break we stay open and connected and curious rather than coming up with stories to justify ourselves being violent to others that we have othered more than those closest to us." - Jem Bendell Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/12/27/e45-jem-bendell-on-deep-adaptation-climate-change-and-societal-collapse-acceptance-and-evolution-in-the-face-of-global-meltdown/ Visit this link to learn more about The Green School Bali For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can plant medicines help humanity to heal? In this episode entitled Healing Wisdom of The Americas, Amisha meets Canadian Ceremonial leader & Wisdom Keeper Erika Gagnon. Erika grew up in a typically North American cultural experience without any spiritual inclinations. She was raised in family of mixed heritage amid the separatist movement in Quebec. We hear the story of how - after reaching a crisis point in her early thirties which led to a series of transformational experiences - she connected for the first time with the Red Road, and an unexplored part of her ancestry, beginning her journey on the medicine path, which now spans almost three decades. Together Erika and Amisha speak about how to honour the sacred medicines appropriately and the dangers and deceptions that abound in the world of plant medicine. Erika speaks about working with tobacco as a medicine for ritual and healing - and how it differs from the mainstream commercial and recreational use of tobacco. She shares her experiences of working consciously with trauma and the discordant or destructive energies that can become lodged in our bodies, in order to release and heal them. "The sacred master plant medicines help us remember who we are, where we have come from and where we are going. They help us to enter different levels of our awareness and consciousness, to be able to access different levels of healing for our bodies, minds and spirits." ~ Erika Gagnon Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/12/22/e44-erika-gagnon-on-plant-medicine-indigenous-wisdom-and-the-eagle-and-condor-prophecy-healing-wisdom-of-the-americas/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

What will it take to bring world-changing technologies to the mainstream? "What is required is not more creation, but extremely precise clinical destruction. We need the old world to die and we need to kill it...We have had 50 years of hippy good vibe activism and it hasn't solved a single problem." ~ Vinay Gupta In this episode entitled Raising the Floor of Humanity Through Cultural Activism and Hard Capitalism, Amisha sits down with technologist, policy analyst, futurist, and global resilience expert Vinay Gupta. Vinay's life's work is to ensure the long-term survival of humanity by finding solutions to our biggest problems.

How do we create a legal duty of care for the Earth? "For me it's not about whether or not you are an environmentalist, it's about whether or not you care. If you care you can move mountains. Any mother knows this." ~ Polly Higgins In this episode entitled Eradicating Ecocide by an Earth Lawyer, Amisha meets with author, barrister and ecocide law expert Polly Higgins. Polly describes how she arrived to a critical choice point in her life where she came to the realisation that the Earth was in need of a good lawyer, and she knew someone for the job… in 2005 she took year out from her successful career as a barrister, and 13 years later still hasn't gone back. In 2010 Polly proposed to the United Nations that ecocide become an international crime and since then has been working solidly on bringing this proposal into law. We hear about her mission to help finance vulnerable island states to come forward into the international criminal court, allowing ecocide law to be tabled **** Polly left her body on April 21st 2019.

What is the role for psychedelics in transforming our world for the better? In this episode entitled Reconnecting with Nature in these Urgent Times, Amisha sits down with Stephen Reid, founder of The Psychedelic Society. The society runs events and experiential retreats for a community of people interested in the psychedelic experience, as well as campaigning for the decriminalisation or declassification of certain substances to allow further research into their psychotherapeutic potential. Stephen speaks about his belief in cognitive liberty and the disastrous effects of state control - banning certain substances while encouraging others, the rising acceptance of psychedelic substances, and what it is that makes a substance addictive. Stephen describes the profound mystical experiences that can be achieved through psychedelics, why the long-lasting beneficial effects of these substances are less likely to be felt without such an experience, and how psychedelics can change our personality - and indeed our society - for the better. "I don't think we are that far away from the point where it is more acceptable to consume psilocybin mushrooms than it is to eat meat." ~ Stephen Reid Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/11/29/e41-stephen-reid-on-psychedelics-extinction-rebellion-and-metamodernism-reconnecting-with-nature-in-these-urgent-times/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How can we create together a political system that supports human and planetary flourishing right in the face of our possible extinction? "We are living in an era in which people are finding their own autonomy and their own agency and they want to express that. We are not content anymore to hand all of that over to someone else." Indra Adnan In this episode entitled Politics is Broken. It's Time for the Alternative, Amisha Ghadiali meets psychotherapist and consultant Indra Adnan. Indra is co-initiator of The Alternative UK. Only 2% of people in the UK are members of political parties and The Alternative are working to reorient political power from within the 98%. Indra is committed to exploring politics 'with a small p' - the world of sociopolitical culture and action outside the bubble of party politics. The alternative provides a platform to raise awareness about and provide connectivity between people who are creating value within communities particularly innovating for the environment, with a daily blog highlighting new initiatives of active citizenship. Together Indra and Amisha speak about the revolutionary act of getting to know our neighbours, how both Mumsnet and ISIS rose to influence through the power of story, how a hashtag can change lives and why women must now step forward into the public space as a matter of urgency.

How can we revolutionise learning and education to serve humans and non-humans better? In this episode entitled Freedom From the Shackles of Education, Amisha sits down with Manish Jain - social entrepreneur, writer, thinker, and founder of the Unschooling movement in India. Manish has founded 25 alternative university campuses in India without any startup capital, created a network of 100 radical learning centres globally, and is now persuading thousands of organisations to hire people without formal educational degrees into roles previously reserved for graduates. We hear the story of his own schooling and unschooling, as well as the pivotal moments that led him to question some of our most deeply entrenched societal norms around economy and education. Manish speaks about the fears that hold us back from disrupting systems that no longer serve us and what we as individuals and communities can do today, for free, to create radical shifts in education and economy. He tells of the magic that happens when we weave a field of trust in our community, why he supports 'alternative child labour, and his latest project establishing a university inside a jail.

How can we find freedom of expression in all our areas of our lives? In this episode entitled The Four Freedoms, Amisha meets writer, speaker, workshop leader, and passionately curious polymath Adah Paris. Adah has diverse and numerous interests - from tech futurism to reiki, millinery to life-coaching. Much of her work centres in some way around storytelling and inspiring humans to ask themselves the questions they have been avoiding.Adah is one of those rare souls who is content to be unapologetically themselves and to share all the vulnerabilities and victories of their own path of personal growth to help others. We hear about her work with individuals, organisations, and systems to audit their internal patterns, stories, and structures and understand where transformation and growth are possible. "It all starts from us. What is my role and responsibility in expressing who i am? Nobody else can do it for us - can do it justice in the way that we can. It requires bravery and finding your voice." ~ Adah Parris Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/11/08/e38-adah-parris-on-identity-freedom-and-inclusion-the-four-freedoms/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can we collectively act now to dramatically shift our course to a better planetary future? "We are in this process of disintegration - an accelerated meltdown of what were stable aspects of our planetary support system- expressing something within us that has to die, change and be reborn." ~ Daniel Pinchbeck In this episode entitled How Soon Is Now? A Call to Action, Amisha meets New York Times bestselling author and speaker Daniel Pinchbeck. His most recent book "How Soon is Now" looks at the ecological crisis as a rite of passage or initiation for humanity and proposes a "blueprint for the future". Daniel speaks about the disruptive breaks and shifts in consciousness required to address our global crises and the technological, systemic, and social solutions that will support them- including blockchain, gigantic kelp farms, and planetary terraforming. We hear why collective mass action is our best hope for change, how Facebook offers the potential for collective action but thwarts us from having the power, and why we must prepare now to act quickly when the next breaking point comes and what stands in the way of committed, collective action.

How do our stories shape us and how do we shape them? In this episode entitled The Stories We Tell in Order to Survive, Amisha meets author and journalist Tyler Wetherall. Together she and Amisha take a deep dive into our understanding of truth, lies, secrets, and stories. By the age of 9 Tyler had lived in 13 houses in 5 countries and she believed this to be normal. Soon after she was to receive a shock revelation that would shake the foundations of her life as she knew it and her sense of personal identity. She then carried this secret close to her chest until finally writing her memoir. Tyler shares with us the story of her childhood and the circumstances and decisions which led to her unusual upbringing. But more than anything this episode is about the power we have to reconcile our past, and change our future. "I genuinely believe it is almost impossible to choose one version of the truth, one version of a story that stands alone... I like to think of everyone's different stories all together like threads in a plait, you chose which thread to follow when you tell a story." ~ Tyler Wetherall Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/10/25/e36-tyler-wetherall-on-secrets-story-and-identity-the-stories-we-tell-in-order-to-survive/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

What must we understand today to make good choices about the technologies of tomorrow? In this episode entitled Sustainable Superabundance or a New Dark Age for Humanity?, Amisha sits down with futurist, technologist and author David Wood. David was among the earliest pioneers of mobile phone software in the days before the dawning of the world wide web. He has worked in mobile and emerging technologies for 25 years, and now acts as an independent futurist, consultant, and writer. David tells why we cannot leave the setting of appropriate limits and ethical codes around technology to the corporations who produce it, how Hollywood dangerously misleads our perceptions of future technological advances and why we cannot always trust our instincts to guide us in these matters. Together Amisha and David dive into the ethics and morality of technological development, how to live in a world with no work and what we need to learn today to be ready for tomorrow. "We will only get to humanity 2.0 by using the very best of humanity 1.0." ~ David Wood Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/10/18/e35-david-wood-on-ai-artificial-intelligence-ethics-and-technology-sustainable-superabundance-or-a-new-dark-age-for-humanity/ Learn more about London Futurists - https://londonfuturists.com/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can one person make a difference to overwhelming poverty and suffering? "Life is better if you are honestly doing your best to make a difference for another being. If you know that in living your life - however you are - you are also making a significant difference for others who would otherwise have no chance… You live different, you feel different, you are different."~ Prabhavati Dwabha In this episode entitled Breaking the Cycle of Poverty, Ignorance, and Homelessness, Amisha sits down with Prabhavati Dwabha, a prolific humanitarian who left a career in Hollywood to come to India. She has been working to provide a home, education, love and nourishment to hundreds of 'at risk' children for 25 years. All the children in Prabhavati Dwabha's care came from very traumatic backgrounds where they were unlikely to survive without rescue. She tells of the experiences that helped her to overcome the belief that one person cannot make a difference in the face of overwhelming suffering. Together she and Amisha speak about karma yoga, the joy of giving and how to fight complacency towards poverty in the place where we live. "The whole thing if you live in the street in the garbage is that nobody cares - otherwise why would you be there? So if someone comes to where you are and brings a giant watermelon, they care." ~ Prabhavati Dwabha Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/10/12/e34-prabhavati-dwabha-on-giving-child-poverty-education-and-philanthropy-breaking-the-cycle-of-poverty-ignorance-and-homelessness/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

Where does true creative inspiration come from and how do we invite it in? "Think of [creativity] as a unicorn. People so want to make money out of their creativity. You end up saddling your unicorn like a donkey to carry your self esteem issues up a hill and it is not its job." ~ Jamie Catto In this episode entitled One Giant Leap for Permission to Feel, Amisha sits down with creative catalyst, musician and mischief-maker Jamie Catto. Jamie seeks to serve as a 'walking permission slip' for people he meets, giving permission for himself and others to express themselves more fully and authentically in the world. Together he and Amisha discuss the roots of suffering and melodrama in our lives, the influence of the patriarchy and how listening holds the key to all that we seek. We hear Jamie's perspective on the treasures that can be found in the painful experiences of life and how to use our suffering sustainably. He speaks candidly about his experiences of panic attacks, death and suicide, lets us in on his relationship to creativity and the muse and reveals where the true genius ideas come from.

What can wonder bring to our lives and how do we create it? In this episode entitled The Importance of Ritual and Creativity, Amisha meets Oxford-educated ritual designer and creative facilitator Tiu de Haan to dig into the world of wonder- what it is, where it comes from and how to make room for it in our lives. Together Tiu and Amisha discuss life, death and serendipity. Tiu tells stories of taking quantum physicists into the forest to play, going out on daily missions to find wonder and spreading 'pronoia' by putting love notes in cereal packets - as well as the profound personal tragedy that led her into this work and how to access our light while facing darkness. "I am of the belief that you can choose to have a lens which sees awe as well as the ordinary, and when you do you can see things that are around us all the time as magnificent sources of marvellousness."~ Tiu de Haan Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/09/27/e32-tiu-de-haan-on-ritual-grief-and-wonder-the-importance-of-ritual-and-creativity/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

What is true human sovereignty and how can we reclaim it? "The true sovereign is the living man and the living woman of the living soil, we tend to forget that." ~ Sacha Stone In this episode entitled A New Earth Beyond Our Personal and Planetary Borders, Amisha shares a moment with former rock musician and founder of both The New Earth Project and Humanitad, Sacha Stone. We hear about his personal journey from early life as a war child, via a career in rock music and deep spiritual enquiry "in the solitude of poetry", to his present work in the world. Sacha speaks about the entropic and harmful nature of many of the dominant systems of our civilisation and some of the alternatives that are emerging through his work and that of others. He tells how we can and why we must break the patterns of our cultural, intellectual and social programming. Sacha challenges mainstream beliefs and perspectives with his views on time, economics and human potential, revealing plans for the emergence of free energy and immortal humans within our lifetimes.

How can changing the way that we approach parenting create a brighter future for all of us? In this episode entitled Birthing & Raising a Better World, Amisha takes time to connect with birth worker and parenting consultant Roma Norriss. Roma believes that parenting is the most potent form of activism available to us, and that if just a single generation of children have their emotional needs met, we will see a very different world. She shares stories from her own journey as a parent and explains how we can actively support our kids to stay with their feelings and use their body's wisdom to heal. "When parents respond to their children with connection, we will see adults who have a lot less hurt to act out on, and it's that hurt that drives us to plunder our planet's resources and make off-track decisions and fosters greed and consumerism and lack of consciousness around the planet. So when we are building humans that are less damaged, we are going to start seeing a world that is less damaged, and I really don't think that is going to take a long time." ~ Roma Norriss Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/09/13/e30-roma-norriss-on-parenting-listening-and-relationships-birthing-raising-a-better-world/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can we identify and embody our greatest potential? In this episode entitled Living Your Best Life in Every Moment, Amisha sits down with Kriss Akabusi, who has been many things including a soldier, an Olympian and a TV personality. He is now working as a coach and training as an existential psychotherapist and counsellor. We take a deep dive into Kriss's life story, uncovering the choices and twists of fate that shaped his remarkable life and career. He shares his journey from a children's home to the Olympic podium, how his time in the army influenced his meteoric career in athletics and the mysterious out-of-body experience that gave him a glimpse into a bigger reality. "I didn't make the first team in anything at school when it came to sports - which shows me how important the mind, spirit and emotions are to getting the best out of the body. I don't think that you can get the best out of the body unless everything else is aligned." ~ Kriss Akabusi Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/09/06/e29-kriss-akabusi-on-human-potential-success-and-happiness-living-your-best-life-in-every-moment/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How do we shift from our society from consumerism to citizenship? In this episode entitled Freeing the Citizen Within From The Shackles of Consumerism, Amisha sits down with Jon Alexander of the New Citizenship Project, a social innovation lab designed to promote the role of the citizen and encourage better participation in society. Jon speaks about the work underway to catalyse the shift from identifying as consumers to identifying as citizens. Together he and Amisha speak about how consumerism has played out in the political arena and why the Brexit referendum was a classic example of consumer democracy. Jon shares his insights on how we can contribute to the shift towards a society of citizens and invite people into greater participation. "We have far more agency in the world than just our consumption choices and we need more opportunities to express that agency." ~ Jon Alexander "We are in the dying throes of a consumer era of democracy where choosing between the options that someone else has designed is the primary form of political engagement." ~ Jon Alexander Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/08/23/e27-jon-alexander-on-citizenship-participation-and-consumerism-freeing-the-citizen-within-from-the-shackles-of-consumerism/ Learn more about New Citizenship Project - https://www.newcitizenship.org.uk/citizenshift For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

What does it really take to become a social entrepreneur? In this episode entitled Tending the Roots of Social Business, Amisha sits down with Servane Mouazan, who has spent over 17 years working with women in social enterprise as the founder and director of Ogunte. Servane shares stories from the 7000+ social businesses led by women who have been supported and mentored through the Ogunte network. The network includes a vast array of social businesses in areas from fintech to food security. She challenges the stereotypes around women in social enterprise, speaks to the real reasons so many women are inspired to do this work, and shares nuggets of hard-earned wisdom about the joy and pain of starting out as a social entrepreneur. "Women are active in the space where they have been historically confined to. It's not something you are born with - that eagerness to help - it's something you learn... and sometimes you learn it because you have no other choice with what's around you." ~ Servane Mouazan Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/08/16/e26-servane-mouazan-on-social-enterprise-women-and-networks-tending-the-roots-of-social-business/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can we change politics for the better to benefit our local communities? In this episode entitled Rewriting the Rules for Local Politics, Amisha meets independent local councillor Peter Macfadyen to learn how Frome (Somerset UK) is transforming from a forgotten market town into one of the most progressive communities in the country. Peter tells the story of how he became Mayor of Frome by accident and rewrote the rules to return a sense of ownership to the community, putting 40% of council taxes back in people's hands and inviting children to vote on council budgets. He explains why manifestos inevitably end in broken promises, why he favours removing party politics at the local level and the need for epic facilitation skills in local government. "This is about trying to create participatory democracy not representative democracy….It's saying elect 17 people and then their job is to build a community where whatever it is you want to get done, you can - or at least have a good try at it - and there will be money and support." ~ Peter Macfadyen Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/08/09/e25-peter-macfadyen-on-democracy-community-and-local-government-rewriting-the-rules-for-local-politics/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How can we heal the feminine in our world from the inside out? In this episode entitled Cleansing the Crucible of Creation, Amisha shares an intimate moment with multidisciplinary creative and social entrepreneur Mallence Bart-Williams. Working in partnership with the royal family of a tiny hidden kingdom in the Asian archipelago, Mallence is bringing to the world an ancient rejuvenation and holistic beauty tool, originally reserved only for Eastern royalty and their concubines. Now this product is saving women in the Western world from hysterectomy and transforming the vitality of their entire bodies. Together Mallence and Amisha speak about how we engage with our wombs today, revisiting the monstrous origins of modern gynaecology and discussing the patriarchal attitudes and assumptions in medical science that harm our connection to our feminine centre. "There is no redemption big enough to make up for what has been done to the womb." ~ Mallence Bart-Williams Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/08/02/e24-mallence-bart-williams-on-patriarchy-ancestry-and-the-womb-cleansing-the-crucible-of-creation/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

What does it truly mean to serve and where do we start? In this episode entitled Serving with EmptyHands – Learning the Law of Love, Amisha meets musician and humanitarian Nimesh 'Nimo' Patel. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nimo received an Ivy League education, found fame as a rap star, and enjoyed a successful stint working on Wall Street. After the horror of 9/11, Nimo realised that despite his material success, he felt unhappy and unfulfilled. An unexpected phone call from a friend planted the first seed and later painful health challenges finally drew him to India where he began volunteering at the Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad. Together with a group of children from the local community he produced an album of songs. This first project marked the beginning of working closely with underprivileged children and their families to bring their voices to the world. Nimo shares with us some powerful lessons received from the children, their families, and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi during his time in India. "I like the idea that we come empty handed and we go empty handed. It's like two moments of nothingness that we are living in between....Nothing is mine when I'm here, nothing is mine when I leave, so can I live more in a way that I am offering more of myself to the planet when I am here?" ~ Nimo Patel Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/07/26/e23-nimo-patel-on-simplicity-service-and-songwriting-serving-with-empty-hands-learning-the-law-of-love/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How do we free ourselves from the controlling influence of multi-national corporations? In this episode entitled Escaping the Jaws of Hungry Giants, Amisha meets author, filmmaker, and big-picture activist Helena Norberg-Hodge. Together they discuss the influence of multinational corporations in all areas of our lives, and what we can do as individuals to create systemic change. Helena's big-picture activism reveals the interdependent systems of corporate control and urbanisation that are behind our greatest challenges. She explains how the current epidemics of anxiety and depression, climate change, and plastic pollution are caused directly by the actions of multi-national corporations and how a shift to localism holds the antidote to what ails us. "We are swimming in a sea shaped by corporate desires. They are not thinking beings they are structures shaped by blind reductionist thinking and ever larger scale and greater speed." ~ Helena Norberg-Hodge Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/07/19/helena-norberg-hodge-on-corporate-control-systemic-change-and-localism-escaping-the-jaws-of-hungry-giants/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

Why and how do we create patterns of meaning out of the vast expanse of existence? In this conversation, Jeremy and Amisha explore the world history of our separation from nature, the human instinct to bring meaning and pattern into life, and how we work with the emotions that arise from this, so we can create a flourishing, beautiful sustainable future. "Optimism and pessimism are both cop outs, but hope is a state of mind that things can change. Whether we think they will or not there is that possibility." ~ Jeremy Lent In this episode entitled Humanity's Patterns of Meaning, Amisha sits down with author and integrator Jeremy Lent. Jeremy's recent book 'The Patterning Instinct' explores the way humans have made meaning from the cosmos from hunter-gatherer times to the present day. From psychedelic awakenings in Cambridge student squats, to fleeing Britain for California to "see something great", Jeremy followed a deep knowing that there was something much more to life than what he was experiencing. Jeremy's current research, writing, and teaching is driven by the desire to marry his intellectual understanding with what he feels in his body to be true. He seeks an integrated understanding of the rules that govern the cosmos, inside and outside of us.

What action can we take today to help save our oceans from plastic pollution? "If you can work with nature, we can flourish together." ~ Jo Royle In this episode entitled Remembering The Ocean – An Urgent Call to Reconnect and Save our Seas, Amisha meets up with skipper, activist, and ocean campaigner Jo Royle. Jo's work with Common Seas is focused on reducing the threat from plastic pollution, working with industry leaders to eradicate single-use plastics and address the cultural and economic root causes of the problem. Despite growing up landlocked and suffering a crippling autoimmune disease during her teens, Jo spent much of her childhood in a dinghy in Devon. After studying at university and making a determined recovery from illness, Jo set sail as a young adult to work at sea full time for over a decade, skippering a variety of vessels and leading projects across the globe. On her travels Jo saw first hand where our relationship to the seas is out of balance and this fuelled her determination to advocate for oceans and marine life. Jo shares with us some harrowing stories and heartbreaking statistics from ocean expeditions to the front lines of climate change. She offers straightforward solutions that we can all implement now and ways to become ocean activists in our daily lives. "Most important is for more and more of us to have good times on and by the water. The more you connect with nature, whether the sea or a forest the more you will learn about it and the more you want to protect it." ~ Jo Royle Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/07/05/e20-jo-royle-on-marine-science-ocean-plastics-and-environmental-activism-remembering-the-ocean-an-urgent-call-to-reconnect-and-save-our-seas/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

How to bring people together for experiences that change lives. In this episode entitled Fuelling Creative Fire to Inspire Culture Change, Amisha is in conversation with William Etundi, a curator and creator of "events that touch the world". From jubilant mass political protests to mind-expanding mansion parties, William's events blend social commentary, art and public spectacle. Together Amisha and William discuss their experiences of race, difference, place, belonging and embodying cultural bridges. William speaks about his experience growing up as a mixed race man with African heritage in both America, as well as his early childhood experiences of activism as the son of a politically engaged pastor in a proudly gay district. From taking days off school to attend protests as a child, William grew up and moved to New York to immerse himself in the community of activists and culture creators of the late 90s and early 2000s. He describes the energy and hope of young people reclaiming the streets and speaking truth to power, and the crushing disillusionment that followed the brutal police suppression of protests around the 2004 Republican convention in New York. Amisha and William share stories of entering inside the mainstream political and judicial system, getting burned by what they saw and experienced there and how this led them both to turn their energies towards the soft, small, interpersonal actions at the roots of society and the call of the creative fire inside. William Etundi's work has been featured in the pages of Vogue, i-D Magazine, Paper Magazine, and more, with the New York Times proclaiming him "an impresario of the underground." In 2012 he launched SeeMe, an international artist network that grew to over 1 million members. He is also the founder and creative director of You Are So Lucky, one of the most sought-after tickets in New York City. "I think it is essential that when you feel that creative fire inside to be true to that. It doesn't mean it's going to save the world but it might save you and that could be just as important".

Creating a high vibrational restaurant to lift spirits, heal bodies and open hearts and minds. In this episode entitled Raising Vibrations and Starting Conversations with Food, Amisha meets Lucile Yaney, a psychotherapist and visionary restaurateur. Lucille shares the story of how the Inn of the Seventh Ray was born of a mystical encounter with the "last eyesore in Topanga" and a year-long commitment to following her heart. Everything at the Inn, from the vibrant food to the meditation gardens, is rooted in a set of principles which infuse the experience of fine dining. Lucile offers guidance on how to transition to a diet that allows your body to detoxify itself and be able to attain a higher vibration. Restaurants are this wonderful way to convey a body of knowledge because on Monday morning when they went back to their office people would talk about whatever restaurants they went to... So if we could put a body of knowledge onto a restaurant would it not get spread around a city?" - Lucile Yaney Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/06/21/e18-lucile-yaney-on-food-healing-and-consciousness-raising-vibrations-and-starting-conversations-with-food/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How to create an open sustainable living community, rooted in compassion and regeneration of the land. "To come to a place where people are willingly here to serve you, to give you a safe and transformative experience, that by itself is healing." ~ Aviram RozinIn this episode entitled Growing Forests and Community Off the Grid, Amisha sits down with Aviram Rozin, founder of Sadhana Forest - a reforestation project and sustainable living community, which was established in 2003 on 70 acres of degraded land just outside Auroville. The project is designed around the primary principle of compassion - from the vegan organic food to the hand chiseled granite building stone, everything is carefully and consciously chosen under the criteria of compassion for all life and for the planet. Unschooling and Gift Economy are some of the compassionate ideologies that underpin the social aspects of the project, and the community nurtures a culture of non violent communication and service. What began as a way for a family of three to live in alignment with their chosen principles, has blossomed quickly into a vibrant transformational community with two further projects being established in Haiti and Kenya. Aviram shares stories of daily life at Sadhana Forest and how the project brings people into greater contact with what nourishes and supports them, both within and without - carrying buckets of water for their daily use, charging their phones and laptops with the midday sun and discovering lifelong talents and passions. He goes on to explain some of the rituals and practises that create the foundations for a thriving sustainable living community and underpin the transformational effect reported by visitors and volunteers at Sadhana Forest. Finally, he shares a little about his newest project, the University of Compassion, which launched in February of this year and aims to bring compassion to the forefront of human thinking."I treat love as a resource that is never depleted. So sharing my love with people, animals, plants, water, this is the recharge- it is like a two way stream all the time. I don't feel like there is energy flowing out of me that will finish - it is all the time flowing in and flowing out." ~ Aviram Rozin Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/06/14/e17-aviram-rozin-on-reforestation-compassion-and-volunteering-growing-forests-and-community-off-the-grid/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

How can we better respond to the challenge of climate change by moving beyond denial towards graceful, united action? In this episode entitled Facing Climate Change with Grounded Optimism, Amisha is in conversation with environmental activist, writer, and photographer MARTI, who gave a keynote at the Copenhagen climate conference in 2009 and more recently has been working with indigenous groups across the planet at the front line of the climate crisis. MARTI and Amisha discuss how the proximity of significant climate change so often gives rise to denial, why community is crucial to finding our way forward amid climate chaos, how the most humble acts can have incredible quantum impact, and why we must reclaim the wisdom of previous civilizations to unite and face our future together. "When you hear a glacier melting, the rivers of water emerging from beneath it, it is enough to make your heart break. When Ice from a glacier breaks off into the Fjord it takes about 6 weeks for it to disappear into the ocean. A glacier takes 150,000 years to form." ~ MARTI Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/06/07/e16-marti-on-climate-change-community-and-transformation/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

What are the real teachings of yoga beyond the physical poses and how can this lead us to a healthier future? In this episode entitled Why Yoga is Much More Than Moving Your Body, Amisha spends time with teacher, Vedic astrologer, and all round wise man Anand Semalty. They speak of the all-encompassing embrace of India, the deep essence there drawing seekers from across the globe, and why there are more saints than soldiers. We hear stories of his childhood growing up as a Brahmin and his choice to raise his own daughters in the Vedic educational tradition. He shares concerns about the widespread modification of yoga, the troubling ego expansion fuelled by asana-only practise, and the rise of the Facebook yogis.

"Dancing with my daughter and singing my son to sleep is just as cosmic as a star exploding and expiring in space." - Bayo AkomolafeIn this week's episode These Times are Urgent, Let Us Slow Down, Amisha takes a deep dive with poet, philosopher, psychologist and professor Bayo Akomolafe into the nature of truth, reality and activism. Bayo offers observations on how our responses in these urgent times may well perpetuate the crisis we try to escape and what the alternatives might be. He expounds the opportunity that lies in the depths of confusion, the indigenous wisdom found at the heart of quantum physics and how caring for our children is as cosmic as an exploding star.At the heart of his invitation lies a simple but radical shift of perspective and a new question to walk with, that might lead us to new forms of activism and new ways to serve the times we are living in."If you find yourself right all the time, then look around you you are probably alone. To be flawed, wrong, wounded, is to recognise that we are in a world of other beings. We live and thrive and emerge in the orbit of other beings, and that is beautiful and tragic all at once." - Bayo Akomolafe Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/05/17/e13-bayo-akomolafe-an-aesthetic-of-entanglement-and-the-sacred-gift-of-stopping/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

Mapping the experience of cyclical being through archetypes, stories, and song "The more I am in my power the more everything can be empowered - it's not a personal thing - you can't be powerful on your own, its part of a bigger thing." - Boe Huntress In this episode entitled Unveiling a Female Power, Amisha meets singer, songwriter, and creative Boe Huntress. Informed by a long line of songwriters from Bob Dylan, to Kate Bush, to Joni Mitchell, Boe's mytho-poetic songwriting is archetypal and inspired particularly by the feminine experience. Boe works with women's groups, looking at the cycles of the moon, menstruation and the creative process. Together they weave a collective picture of cyclical and intuitive ways of being, exploring the value and gift of changeability in a world where consistency is king. We hear about the collective dreams of bleeding women that could feed tribes and what the modern equivalent might be if we can only remember how to want it.

Exploring the role of performance to promote healing and raise awareness. "We have to get really clear about the fact that any sex without full consent is rape. I think it is very difficult for people to hear that." - Imogen Butler-Cole In this episode entitled The Power of Theatre to Change Perspectives, Amisha meets actress and writer Imogen Butler-Cole, creator of acclaimed theatre show "Foreign Body" exploring the subject of sexual assault. Imogen speaks about creating theatre that is both deeply personal and highly political, how "Foreign Body" is helping other survivors to process their own experiences, and why she invited the perpetrator of her own assault to be part of it. In the wake of the #metoo and #timesup campaigns, she explores why it is so difficult to accept that people we know and trust are capable of sexual violence, and how doing so might bring constructive responses such as workplace guidelines around sexual violence and healing interventions for people who are at risk of perpetrating.

Cultivating inner power and understanding the tantric perspective of the divine feminine. In this episode entitled Awakening the True Blueprint Within, Amisha sits in reflection with writer, teacher and former swami Sally Kempton. Sally grew up in a secular, socialist environment as the daughter of a well-known liberal journalist in New York, until what she calls a "download of love" during her first psychedelic experience led her to study non-dual yogic philosophy and to meet and follow her guru, Swami Muktananda. Sally shares the tantric understanding of the true meaning of Shakti and where to find the Goddess, why there is more to meditation than mind-hacking, and how patriarchy is in fact a function of the goddess. They discuss what discovering the divine feminine means for men in modern practice. "Learning to walk humbly on the cusp of what needs to be done and what we are capable and qualified to do is a huge thing that every one of us needs to find a way to navigate." ~ Sally Kempton Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2017/12/28/e8-sally-kempton-awakening-true-blueprints-within/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, https://love.allthatweare.org/membership To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/
