How does white supremacy show up in our lives and what is our work to do? “I really believe our primary work is to do the work of healing and self-reclamation, because it has taken so much away from us in ways we cannot even fathom. This is why I do this inner work right alongside the outer work. Before we go out and change the world we deserve to get the healing, to reconnect with that source inside of ourselves that feels worthy and is good. That is very revolutionary because it’s remaking the world.” ~ Layla Saad In this episode entitled Being A Good Ancestor, Amisha shares a moment with author, speaker and teacher, Layla Saad. After her open letter “I need to talk to spiritual white women about white supremacy” went viral on the internet, Layla has gone on to write and publish a book called ‘Me and White Supremacy’. In this interview Layla speaks about her own journey of awakening into the full expression of herself as a black woman, and unravelling the ways in which external and internal white supremacy and conditioning has kept her light low until now. She talks about the pivotal moments that catalysed her own awakening, and how she began to change the way that she showed up and reconstruct her internal universe.  Together, Amisha and Layla speak about their experiences as women of colour, of working and living in predominantly white spaces, encountering deeply ingrained white supremacy in spaces that they had expected to be free of it, and of the ways they have had to adapt to survive under these conditions.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/11/28/e76-layla-saad-on-race-identity-and-self-reclamation-being-a-good-ancestor-me-and-white-supremacy/ 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/

How can we be the change that we want to see in the world? In this episode entitled A New Republic of the Heart: Awakening to the Mystery and the Miracle, Amisha sits down with philosopher, author, activist and coach Terry Patten. Terry speaks about how to become present to each other in the moment with kindness, compassion, generosity and community. He shares his perspective on inner work as a form of activism, and a prerequisite for holistic change. Together Amisha and Terry examine the multiple meta-narratives playing out alongside each other - the great global movements of our time such as Extinction Rebellion and the techno-utopians - and speak about how we might usefully show up within and create a bridge between them.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/11/21/e75-terry-patten-on-sacred-activism-transformation-and-meta-narratives-a-new-republic-of-the-heart-awakening-to-the-mystery-and-the-miracle/ 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/

How can we design for a regenerative future? “I like to think of the moment we are in like the Millenium Falcon in Star Wars; we need to go sideways to get through the window of opportunity before it closes.” ~ Amanda Joy Ravenhill In this episode entitled The Awkward Era: Slowing Down to Act Fast, Amisha meets Amanda Joy Ravenhill, Executive Director of the Buckminster Fuller Institute. Amanda shares her approach to navigating what she calls ‘the awkward era’ that we find ourselves in now. She talks about taking the long view towards a regenerative future, and introduces us to a dazzling array of projects - from agroforestry to kelp farming  - that offer win/win solutions to the intertwined issues of climate crisis, biodiversity loss, food security and economic security.  Amanda shares with us the remarkable story of Buckminster Fuller’s early years and his rise to prominence as a whole systems design thinker as early as five years of age. She also shares her personal story -  how growing up as a “third culture kid” and living in many different parts of the world during her childhood has shaped her work at the systems level, and how living in community nurtures and supports her in that work.   Together, Amisha and Amanda speak about the importance of metabolising the anger, grief and anxiety that is provoked by the crises we currently face on a global scale.  Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/11/14/e74-amanda-joy-ravenhill-on-systems-thinking-buckminster-fuller-and-regenerative-design-the-awkward-era-slowing-down-to-act-fast/  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/  

How can we reconnect deeply to ourselves, our community and our planet? In this episode entitled Weaving Earth: Ecological, Social and Personal Systems Change, Amisha sits down with facilitator and educator Will Scott. At the time of this interview, Will was evacuated from his home and community in Sonoma County, California due to the wildfires that are raging there. He speaks about his personal reactions and responses to the crisis, as well as those of his community and others around them.  Will explains how many of the crises and imbalances we are facing have their roots in a lack of connection or relationship - to ourselves, to others and to the natural world we are a part of - and how marking and honoring life transitions with the support of the natural world can help us to reconnect.  Together Amisha and Will discuss privilege and inclusion, how community can hold, facilitate and help us to integrate transformative experiences into our daily lives, and how to better meet the wildness and vulnerability within ourselves and others.  Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/11/07/e73-will-scott-on-wildfires-relational-education-and-nature-connection-weaving-earth-ecological-social-and-personal-systems-change/ 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/  

How can we help each other to become the sovereign leaders our times are calling for?

Stephanie is the vision holder for the recent Climate Change & Consciousness Conference held at Findhorn, and is a champion and mentor for ‘Unprecedented Leaders’ working on the frontlines of climate crisis. Stephanie shares with us her personal story, from an early life impacted by trauma, a career as a trauma therapist and neuroscientist, to her present work of supporting and empowering activist leaders to address the pressing challenges we face. She explains why we must cultivate the art of deep listening - to ourselves and others- and how by doing so we can invoke the kinds of unprecedented leadership the times are calling for.

He’s co-founder of 10-in-10 - an initiative to tackle ten global challenges in ten years.  Zaid speaks about his work with 10-in-10 and their approach to tackling ten global challenges in ten years - working beyond silos and outside of what we already know. He explains why we must put power into the hands of the people who are being impacted by the complex challenges we face so that they can help design responses to them - turning their adverse experiences into a valuable resource.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/10/24/e71-zaid-hassan-on-complexity-inclusion-and-innovation-10-in-10-tackling-ten-global-challenges-in-ten-years/ 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/

Erena shares with us her cultural concept of the earth as Mother and the cosmology and creation stories of her Maori heritage, speaking of the lived experience of connection to nature at the deepest levels of being. She speaks of the pressing need to acknowledge, love and honour our mother the earth and why we must even learn to love plastic.

How can we be truly present to ourselves, to each other and to earth in these times? “The first spiritual practise for me is to listen – to really listen. To listen to ourselves, listen to our pain – not ignore it. To listen to each other, each others pain, joy, fear – to listen to the earth. The moment that we open ourselves up to that it’s clear that the earth is in pain and she is calling for us to listen. The cries of agony are getting louder every day.” ~ Phap Linh In this episode entitled Drink a Glass of Clouds: Finding Joy in Every Moment, Amisha meets Phap Linh a Zen Buddhist monk from Plum Village.  Phap Linh shares the story of his journey from the corridors of Cambridge University, via his ancestral French village, to being ordained as a monk at Plum Village, a meditation centre founded in France by the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hahn after he was exiled from his homeland. He speaks about life in monastic community, the nature of commitment, finding joy in service and joining the Extinction Rebellion.  Together, Amisha and Phap Linh speak about how we can bring the experience of our interconnection into the activities of our daily lives. Phap Linh reveals to us how we can learn to see the sun in a carrot, and how much cloud is in a glass of water.

How can the wisdom held by indigenous communities help humanity evolve and heal? In this episode entitled Through the Keyhole: Walking with the Divine Mother, Amisha sits down with internationally renowned spiritual leader Jyoti, who speaks about her early life as a woman waking up in the Southern United States, and how a series of calls, visions and sacred synchronicities led her to assemble a council of 13 indigenous grandmothers to wake up the world. Together Amisha and Jyoti speak about the ways that we can respond to the overwhelming crises that we face on a global scale, the indigenous prophecies of what is to come in the next decades and how to listen within to find our path to healing and to service in the world. “Our work right now is to move around the planet and try to hold these pieces of people’s hearts while they are opening. Our indigenous original cultures know how to walk through this – they have the prophecies that give us the instructions on how to walk through this.” ~ Jyoti   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/10/03/e68-jyoti-on-indigenous-grandmothers-sacred-economics-and-inner-work-through-the-keyhole-walking-with-the-divine-mother/ 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/

How can we use our freedom to stand up for the oppressed? In this episode entitled A Voice in the Darkness: Speaking Out for the Silenced, Amisha connects with Raki Ap. Raki shares the story of his life: fleeing West Papua as a child, growing up in the Netherlands and joining the Dutch army, and now living in political exile in The Hague.  Raki wants the world to know what has been happening in West Papua to West Papuans and what we as individuals can do to support them and stand up for their freedom. He speaks about the work he is doing in the Netherlands to inspire young people to act, to raise their voices and to feel empowered to speak out for those who are silenced by oppression. Together Raki and Amisha share personal stories of their experiences of West Papua and West Papuans, speak about reclaiming ancestral heritage and the root cause and impact of climate breakdown.  “What I try to do is just storytelling, I want people to know what is happening in West Papua, while Indonesia has been banning foreign media for 57 years. It’s up to the citizens of other countries, when they know what is happening there, to use your democratic voice and rights to tell political representatives to act in the name of humanity, in the name of international law and peace and justice.” ~ Raki Ap   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/09/26/e67-raki-ap-on-colonial-racism-climate-crisis-and-empowered-activism-a-voice-in-the-darkness-speaking-out-for-the-silenced/ 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/

How can we hold awareness of the interbeing of all things in the face of crisis? In this episode entitled Deepening Darkness and the Regenerative Spark: Holding the Wholeness, Amisha sits down with Justine Huxley, Director of St Ethelburga’s Centre for Peace and Reconciliation in London. Justine speaks about doing the work of deep adaptation in the face of complex global challenges and looming societal collapse. She speaks about her work at St Ethelburga’s with the younger generation, and her own feelings and experiences as an activist of several decades. Together Amisha and Justine speak about what it means to engage in sacred activism at this time, bringing together the regenerative spark of the younger generation with the resources and power of the older generation to tackle the challenges we face.   “This evolutionary doorway that we have the potential to step through is about interbeing, and that means not separating anything out - not separating ourselves from each other, ourselves from the earth, the inner from the outer, the dark from the light. You can't step into that place without also doing this work of embracing all of it.” ~ Justine Huxley   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/09/19/e66-justine-huxley-on-interbeing-deep-adaptation-and-regeneration-deepening-darkness-and-the-regenerative-spark-holding-the-wholeness/ 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/

How can we stay grounded on our spiritual journey? In this episode Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground, Amisha is in conversation with author, teacher, Enrealment Activist and Grounded Spiritualist Jeff Brown. Together they discuss the dangers of dissociative spiritual practices, as well as the cultures and individuals that encourage these practises for individuals carrying unresolved trauma. Jeff shares stories of his own spiritual journey and the experiences that led him to his current practises of embodiment, ‘enrealment’ and integration.He explains why embodied psychotherapy holds our greatest hope for healing and self realisation, how he made a spiritual practice of betting on horses at the races, and the myriad problems with patriarchal spirituality. Together Amisha and Jeff discuss some of the ways we dissociate and absent ourselves in the name of becoming present, and how we can learn instead to hold on to the threads of ever more diverse realities.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/09/11/e65-jeff-brown-on-grounded-spirituality-enrealment-and-spiritual-bypass-ascending-with-both-feet-on-the-ground/ 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

In this episode entitled Joining the Dots Between Plants, Planets and People, Amisha climbs aboard the good ship Xanadu to meet with forager, chef, and plant alchemist Jemma Foster. Jemma stepped out of a career in journalism to train in vibrational healing and plant medicine, after becoming fascinated with quantum physics and the vibrational nature of reality. Jemma walks us through the tapestry of interwoven healing and medicinal modalities that make up an experience with Mama Xanadu - from astrological botanical elixirs infused with planetary sound frequencies to private musical performances from plants - and explains the origins and intentions behind each element. She shares some of the latest research into plant neurobiology and introduces us to a breathtakingly beautiful technology that allows us to listen to what our plants have to say and track how they respond to the changing environment.   “Once you have a relationship, it’s the same with a person. You can bring a person to mind and connect across time and space, and that’s the same thing with the plants and with the remedies. We have many tools with which to work, but in its purest form we have that direct perception, direct communication.” ~ Jemma Foster Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/09/04/e64-jemma-foster-on-alchemy-plant-consciousness-and-vibrational-medicine-joining-the-dots-between-plants-planets-and-people/ 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 create the conditions for something universal to be expressed through us?   “Deeper self knowledge, true potential of the human, self realisation, happiness, suffering... it doesn’t belong in narrow places any more - in monasteries - it needs to be in the hospitals. Now is the time for it to be in the schools, in our lives. I really believe that.” ~ Nick Mulvey In this episode entitled A Voice For Nature: Playing From the Heart Strings, Amisha shares a moment with Nick Mulvey, a musician and songwriter whose music and performance speaks directly to the times we are in. His most recent album ‘Wake Up Now’ is a rallying cry to humanity. It features themes of fracking and the refugee crisis, weaving rhythms and melodies from across the globe with heartfelt and deeply personal lyrics. Nick speaks about his own journey towards deep self knowledge, tracked through the highs and lows of his career as a musical artist.  We hear stories of Nick’s experiences leading the funeral procession for Polly Higgins, working alongside Wisdom Keepers from indigenous traditions around the world at Glastonbury Festival and channeling the words of a whale for a new song.

How do we overcome paralysis in the face of complexity? “We all have something that we came to do. If more people were doing that soul work we would be in less of a mess. What dreams we had as children of what our lives would look like! When we ignore that, it is where the numbing begins – the giving up of wanting to participate.” ~ Phoebe Tickell In this episode entitled Striving to be Consistent in An Inconsistent World, Amisha meets complex systems designer, social entrepreneur and educator Phoebe Tickell. Together they explore what it means to bridge several different ‘worlds’ in your work, facing the paralysis that can come when faced with complex crises, and how to connect with our ‘soul work’. Phoebe speaks about the pressure on individuals to hold the responsibility for planetary change, and why the focus must return urgently to changing systems.  Together Amisha and Phoebe discuss the origins of the myths and stories that we dwell in, the way that they shape our actions and reactions, and what happens when we step outside of them.  Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/08/22/e62-phoebe-tickell-on-complex-systems-soul-work-and-multiple-realities-walking-the-edge-of-many-worlds/ 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/  

How can we be in service to the world at this time? “It’s an assumption from the people who taught me, that creation lodges a tiny piece of its genius inside each of us. You have to find it, and then grow it, and then share it…I will go on this journey and never give up until I have located it, grown it and I’m then fully sharing it.” ~ Mac Macartney In this episode entitled Keeping The Children’s Fire, Amisha spends a morning with speaker, writer and change-maker Mac Macartney. Mac is the founder of Devon land-based learning centre Embercombe, and is the author of several books. Mac speaks about living courageously and on purpose, connecting with our deepest love, our gifts and our responsibilities to walk the Twin Trail of inner and outer development and contribution. Together Mac and Amisha speak about the complexity and challenge of living and working in community, the humble reality of being a human work in progress, and how to stay committed to the journey when the weather gets rough.

How can we thrive in the world as Highly Sensitive People? In this episode entitled Entering the Era of the Sensitive Person, Amisha connects with therapist, coach and Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Cindy Barnes. Cindy specialises in working with people who identify as Highly Sensitive or with having the trait of Sensory Processing Sensitivity. This is a scientifically verified, hereditary genetic trait shared by around 20% of the population. Cindy explains what it means to be an HSP, the challenges of living with this trait, and also the incredible benefits available when we learn to understand and provide for the particular characteristics of our nervous system. She also shares the results of recent research into the trait and some of the theories about the evolutionary purpose of this trait of high sensitivity in humans and other species.

What innovation is needed now to steer us towards a beautiful future? “It ain’t just a techno fix. It’s not just about shifting an energy system into renewables. it’s not just about shifting from fossil fuels to green energy. It is actually about reimagining how so many of these systems can and should work… The size of the solutions have to fit the size of the problems. If what needs to be done doesn’t fit within commercial and political realities, then we have to change those realities.” ~ Ed Gillespie In this episode entitled Building a Bright Green Future: Handicraft and Spacecraft, Amisha sits down with environmental entrepreneur and author, Ed Gillespie. As a twenty year veteran of the sustainability movement, Ed shares his perspective on where we stand today with regard to climate crisis and the sustainability of our major systems, examples of what has already been achieved and is already being done to change things for the better, and where he is placing his energy now to support that transition. Together Ed and Amisha discuss ‘flight shaming’ and slow travel, little robot farmers called Tom, Dick and Harry, and the end of our civilisation. They speak about how and why the Extinction Rebellion movement is finding success where others have not, the pressure imbalance between individual citizens and the behaviour of governments and businesses, and how we might reconnect to create a fertile, fun-filled future for our planet.

What happens when we let go and trust our voice? In this episode entitled Medicine Songs for the Soul, Amisha spends time with transformational coach, consultant and singer of soul songs Lex Empress. After a childhood spent “in the blackest dark”, carefully concealing her innate gifts, and an early career laced with the promise of pop stardom, Lex followed her intuition away from the path laid out for her and onto a new track all of her own - touching hearts and changing lives with the penetrating profundity of her one to one song sessions. From the boardroom to the beaches of Ibiza, thousands have come to sit before Lex and hear the song their soul needs now. Lex shares with Amisha the journey to finally living and expressing her gifts through song, the leaps of faith and great silences along the way, and how she became her own medicine - singing herself sane.  “If you find the courage to express yourself, you are an artist… The moment you show up to create that’s it. Even if it’s not something being shared. Just the courage to express yourself. It’s enough. You made it!”~ Lex Empress   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/07/25/e58-lex-empress-on-improvisation-presence-and-surrender-medicine-songs-for-the-soul/ 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 our individual creative freedom liberate others? In this episode entitled Liberating Maat Energy Through the Arts, Amisha meets multidisciplinary metaphysical artist Kamau Abayomi. Kamau’s broad-ranging creative expression is a conduit for Maat energy - the ancient Egyptian goddess of harmony, truth, justice and balance. From his early years as a skateboarding teenage rapper in Oakland, California to over 15 years living in Bali, Kamau’s path through life has been one of creative liberation. Kamau’s work with Maat energy seeks balance and harmony in creative forms. He has combined traditional Balinese dance with breakdance and rap elements in performance, and regularly puts Michael Jackson into his ecstatic dance DJ sets. Kamau speaks about his belief that the full spectrum of codes and vibrations must be available so that each person can seek and find their own access points to spiritual and creative growth. “If we’re afraid of our own voice, our innate wisdom that’s connected to the higher aspects of our being can’t flow through.” ~ Kamau Abayomi Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2019/07/18/e57-kamau-abayomi-on-black-divinity-creativity-and-spiritual-activism-liberating-maat-energy-through-the-arts/ 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 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.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/11/15/e39-manish-jain-on-unschooling-gift-culture-and-deep-localisation-freedom-from-the-shackles-of-education/ 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 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/
