TIMELESS // “How to Walk Through the World Without Fear” with Satish Kumar - E241
In this timeless, we explore the art of weaving the many threads of our lives into a unified whole. Drawing on the discipline of a monk, and the humility of a lifelong pilgrim, we are invited to see ecology, spirituality, social justice, and human connection as one interwoven journey. Satish Kumar is a former monk and long-term peace and environment activist, he has been quietly setting the Global Agenda for change for over 50 years. He shares how walking without fear, living with less, and dropping expectations can open us to the sacredness of all life - from a butterfly’s flight to a stranger’s kindness. He invites us to live simply yet fully, to choose time over money, and to bring reverence and celebration to each moment, whatever it holds. This timeless is about cultivating a pilgrim’s mindset in a world that often pushes us into the rush of commuting, consuming, and competing. It is a gentle yet powerful call to slow down, walk lightly, and recognise that the whole Earth is sacred, and so is every step we take upon it.

TIMELESS // “How to Make the Impossible Possible” with Nasreen Sheikh - E239
In this deeply moving and courageous episode, we hear from a woman whose life has been shaped by unimaginable hardship and who has transformed that pain into powerful service. Nasreen Sheikh is a survivor of modern-day slavery, a social entrepreneur, human rights advocate and international speaker. Born in a small rural village on the border of India and Nepal, she risked everything to escape forced marriage, child labour, and extreme poverty in search of freedom. Her lived experience now fuels her mission. Nasreen has founded several social enterprises working to end modern-day slavery and uplift the voices of those who are too often silenced. Through her work, she advocates for basic human rights as a foundation for global justice. From collecting firewood as a child in a village without electricity, to surviving abuse, bonded labour and severe poverty, this conversation brings to light the hidden realities of modern-day slavery and the strength it takes to break free from systems that are designed to keep people silent. But what emerges through her words is not despair, but an unwavering vision, a belief in the human spirit and in the belief that even the smallest act of kindness can ripple into profound change. Nasreen shares how her healing journey led her to create change, and how we can all be part of building a world where dignity, safety, and freedom are a given, not a privilege. Each of us has a role to play in shaping a more just, beautiful, and liberated world. We hope this timeless episode empowers you.
