TIMELESS // How to Find the Leader Within You with Mac Macartney - E251

Our world doesn’t need more leaders chasing power - it needs people rooted in what they love. This TIMELESS with Mac Macartney calls us back to integrity, to humility, to the sacred responsibility of shaping a future that serves all life. Mac Macartney brings us into a fresh understanding of leadership - one that is relational and begins with listening across differences. True leadership, as he conveys, is the quiet confidence that comes from following what matters most, not from needing to be followed. It is not something to postpone until we are fully formed; it is the art of showing up - imperfect and evolving.  Through his stories, we are invited to lead with courage and care - to recognize our innate gifts, take responsibility for what we love, and stand for what is sacred and worth protecting. The conversation touches on how rarely we ask these questions of our young, even though discovering what is truly sacred may be the most vital education of all. If you’ve ever doubted your place as a leader, this one’s for you. We hope that this inspires you to live from that place in this world of who you truly are.  We recommend that you go and listen later to the whole of E61 here.

Each Life Sacred // The Power of Art, Music, and Hope with Anouska Beckwith, Charlotte Mabon and friends - E250 (feat. Ayla Schafer, Johnny Flynn, Olivia Fern and more)

If your heart has been broken open by what’s unfolding in Gaza, you are not alone. This episode is a place to bring that ache; a collective tapestry of grief, courage and the power of art to keep our humanity alive. Each Life Sacred was born from the choice of not looking away, from witnessing the unimaginable suffering of children in Palestine and feeling the weight of helplessness that so many of us have carried. Out of that grief, something luminous emerged - a call to create, to gather, to weave art and action into one.  Holding the creative vision of this offering are artist Anouska Beckwith and singer-songwriter Charlotte Mabon, who have brought together twenty-two musicians and six artisans to create an album and fundraiser that turns sorrow into service and beauty into a bridge. In this conversation, we sit with their stories and with the voices of many of the contributing artists: Ayla Schafer, Kieran King (War Child), Taz Babiker, Matthew Barley, Naomi Greene, Johnny Flynn, Nick Barbachano, Olivia Fern, Ya’Acov Darling Khan, Anika Nixdorf, Lauren Noa (Little Whale), Petra Palumbo, as well as Leor and Souli from Ripples Collective each sharing how this project became a vessel for tenderness, courage, and collective care. May this episode remind you that each life is sacred and that our shared humanity is something we can practice, together, every day.  Links: 100% of the proceeds of the crowdfunder will go to War Child whose teams are in Gaza now creating safe spaces for children to play, learn, and access psychological support.

TIMELESS // 'How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely' with Almunis Alejandra Ortiz - E249

We often carry the story “I can’t sing” or “That’s not my voice”, a belief rooted in comparison, in safety, in self-protection. We excuse our expression by saying it’s for others: “If I sing well, they’ll love me.”  In this week’s TIMELESS, Alumnus Alejandra Ortis speaks of the voice as a channel - a conduit for the vibrant force that already dances through us. In this episode, we are invited to shift the gaze: the voice is not you pushing forth, but life moving through you. In  How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely, we disentangle from the hidden contracts of love and validation, and rest in the truth that  you are love. The voice is simply an expression of that. We speak about lineage, safety, and how many voices - especially those of women - were muted through ancestral memory. May this conversation be a place of permission to let sound move, to let truth sing, to remember the electric current you are.

Briony Greenhill on Community, Repair and Belonging // Re-Villaging the Future - E242

How do we mend the fractures of modern life and find our way back to each other? In this conversation, Bryony Greenhill shares a vision for repairing our communities - through land, song and the everyday acts that weave us back together. We explore why so many of us feel disconnected, what’s been lost in our modern way of living, and how we can start to rebuild trust, care, and shared purpose in our neighbourhoods and daily lives. Bryony shares stories and ideas for bringing the ‘village’ back as a living, breathing way of being together that can meet the challenges of our time. Briony is a teaching artist, a vocal improviser, performer, pianist, composer, and teacher of collaborative vocal improvisation. She's one of the main people who brought this art-form to the UK from West Coast USA where she lived for 10 years. She cares passionately about the transition to regenerative culture, shifting from modernity / coloniality to indigeneity, and particularly in this moment, about peace, justice and decolonisation, and as such is the co-founder of Regenerate UK. We hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone, and that together we can imagine and build the future we know we belong to.
