all that we are

What kind of world could we believe in and tend to through practices of deep listening? In this episode entitled The Quiet Revolutions Inside Our Hearts, Amisha speaks with Kailea Frederick, a mother of Tahltan, Kaska and Black American ancestry. Her work sits at the intersection of climate justice, spiritual ecology and resilience thinking. Kailea is the Editor for Loam, a Climate Commissioner for the city of Petaluma, and a facilitator through her own project ‘Earth Is `Ohana’. She co-authored ‘Compassion In Crisis: Learning To Live in an Age of Disaster’. Amisha and Kailea talk about the practice of deep listening as way of being in dialogue with Honua, the trees, the rocks, the elements, ourselves and each other; a vital tool for navigating our complex lives whilst experiencing the discomforts, unpredictability and imbalances of climate change. Kailea shares practical ways of listening to Earth as a climate commissioner working on climate emergency frameworks translating data and charts, observations and climate transitions into guiding documents for crisis management during climate emergencies. Together they explore communities creatively coming together to forge ways forward by uplifting voices and narratives that offer new perspectives and grounding us in simple life, hope, resilience and spiritual practice. Kailea reveals the challenges of being a parent and together they explore the joys and the murkier moments of being a guardian during these times that do not promise safety nor balance, but nonetheless the rewards of personal growth and widening perspectives. We learn that deep listening is an act and gift of reciprocity that can help us shape spaces of shared values where we may find new formats of balance, common goals and a community moving towards the creations of systemic changes. They encourage us to observe the quiet revolutions inside our hearts so we can become the lightbearers of alternative perspectives that will guide the way. This podcast is part of a collaboration with St.Ethelburga’s called ‘Listening to each other, Listening to Earth’.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/11/26/e114-kailea-frederick-on-reflective-activism-parenting-and-climate-justice-the-quiet-revolutions-inside-our-hearts/ 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 do we birth a new paradigm through transforming our story? In this episode entitled Dancing In Each Others Radiance, Amisha talks with Rita Hraiz, visionary artist and a respected teacher of Ageless Wisdom and Esoteric Psychology. Rita is deeply versed in the Vajrayana aspect of Tibetan Buddhism and a student of Kalachakra Tantra. She is the designer and founder of Ethical clothing brand Mudra. Amisha and Rita explore how we can honour our radiance and authenticity through the style, materials and adornments we choose to wear and how the clothing and colours we wear effect us. Rita shares her personal journey of her spiritual awakening embracing her identity and creative gifts as a divine presence. She reveals her creation of MUDRA, a clothing brand that is rooted in the beauty of colour therapy, in materials and silhouettes that embrace women’s personal expressions moving past conventional conditioning and perceptions of shapes and sizes. MUDRA represents the essence of her heart. It is regenerative and low in waste production, it lets cultures and traditions flourish, encourages peoples gifts and skills in Nepal, Bali and India, and most of all it is a path that lets RIta unfold her own spiritual journey.  Together they explore the power of adornments as pathways to our authenticity bringing meaning to what we wear, opening up layers of our souls essence, forging deeper connection with divinity and presenting possibility for the reclamation of heritage. We learn about multiple prophecies that guide us to balance the divine feminine and masculine during these shifting times. It is a time where we may gift ourselves a relationship with our creativity and our stillness so that we may rise into healing and love for ourselves and each other becoming butterflies that dance in the power of each others radiance.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/11/19/e113-rita-hraiz-on-initiation-adornment-and-colour-dancing-in-each-others-radiance/ 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 do we stitch a new garment that fits all of humanity and nature? In this episode entitled Stitching Tapestries of Worthiness, Amisha talks with Sonya Renee Taylor, Founder and Radical Executive Officer of ‘The Body is Not An Apology’, a digital media and education company. Sonya’s creation as an award winning performance poet, activist and transformational leader unapologetically leans into radical self-love as a path of liberation. Amisha and Sonya explore the current collective moment where oppressive systems are exposed for their illusions designed to keep us separated from self-love by burying us in individualism, shame and separation. They recognise this moment of interdependence as an invitation offering us ways to make choices from a place of possibility; an invitation that may open us to the reclamation of our worthiness. Sonya believes that we have been systemically disconnected from our own sense of divineness, our sense of enoughness. She shares that we have to raise our consciousness as an act of reclamation to break free from the systems of hierarchy and enforced value categories that have relentlessly conditioned us to prove ourselves. Together they reveal that in order to participate in self-love we have to allow ourselves to be expansive. We have to find the courage to revisit our original stories and see how they’ve shaped our place of value. They share that radical self-love journeys move us into creation of intentional reciprocal and resonant relationships connecting us with the full tapestry of community in order to help us magnify the spectrum of our experiences of self-love. We learn that radical self-love is the fabric that will help us weather the storms of life. Radical self-love is the love that offers pathways to connect us with our soul truths so that we may participate in a vision for a collective future by contributing our true passions moving gracefully into the fullness of our humanity.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/11/12/e112-sonya-renee-taylor-on-radical-self-love-authenticity-and-community-stitching-tapestries-of-worthiness/ 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 do we create structures with life at the centre of their being? In this episode entitled Human Gifts Of Kinship, Amisha talks with Pat McCabe ‘Woman Stands Shining’, of the Diné Nation adopted into the Lakota Spiritual Way of Life. She is an international speaker travelling to pray and to share her journey of remembering and listening for the way Home, back to the true nature of being Human Being. Amisha and Pat speak about how the beauty of our names reminds us of our uniqueness, our community spirit and encounters with the mysteries of Earth and life. They talk about Listening to Earth as a practice requiring us to acknowledge that different paradigms co-exist and that we have different ways of being human outside of modern world paradigms. Pat shares her personal stories and encounters with Mother Earth and how she transitioned from a place of deep intellect to a way of somatic knowing. We learn that Earth is always present if we listen and acknowledge ourselves as her beloved children. They explore how indigenous civilisations cultivated ways of knowing that bypassed intellect. We hear how they increased abundance and biodiversity creating ways to thrive continents as living organisms where humans were gifts of kinship that shared knowledge and cultural cross-pollination. They speak about how the loss of their elders during the pandemic means devastating consequences for humanity due to loosing their vital knowledge, language, teachings and ceremony. Pat believes that possibilities are humming in the air leading us into co-creation of new structures with life at the centre of their being. She has been called to lead change of our dividend paradigms with the world’s wealth holders to step from investments to restorations activating our radical self-love, self-trust and our freewill to transform money powers to serve the future of humanity and Mother Earth.   Links from this episode and more at  https://allthatweare.org/2020/11/05/e111-pat-mccabe-on-emergence-restoration-and-co-creation-human-gifts-of-kinship/ 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/

Can the powers of our flowing minds expand our language of reciprocity? In this episode entitled The Language Of Our Rivers, Amisha talks to Minna Salami, author, blogger, feminist theorist and lecturer. Minna’s blog ‘MsAfropolitan’ connects feminism with critical reflections on contemporary culture from an Africa-centred perspective. She is the author of ‘Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone’, which explores universal concepts such as art, beauty, identity, blackness and womanhood with an Africa-centred, decolonial and feminist paradigm. Amisha and Minna explore the idea of beauty and how the poetry, language and willpower we receive from our rivers and from our natural world increases our sensuous knowledge, expands the volume of our integrity and flourishes the gardens of our beauty. Minna describes how the flow that shapes our rivers and the patterns of nature alongside them can inspire systems of power and governmental structures rooted in reciprocity. Minna believes that in the 21st century we are by default born into a multi perspectival approach that shapes our identities and knowledge into worldviews that are a golden opportunity to overcome the complex struggles humankind are facing. They speak about how our societies could utilise the wisdom traditions of our elders, especially our grandmothers as the antidote to the robotisation of our collective psyche during these current times. We learn that listening is beauty; that being present and the small things make us beautiful. They reveal that our complex identities are an opportunity for curiosity and inquiry to understand each other and the human species in greater depth; a powerful opportunity to embrace new perspectives and truths letting our minds flow like roaring rivers of reciprocity, integrity and beauty.  This podcast is part of a collaboration with St. Ethelburga’s called ‘Listening to each other, Listening to Earth’.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/10/29/e110-minna-salami-on-sensuous-knowledge-beauty-and-integrity-the-language-of-our-rivers/ 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 keep showing up as active citizens of change? In this episode entitled A Call To Action – A Hope In Hell, Amisha speaks with Jonathon Porritt, an eminent writer, broadcaster and campaigner on sustainable development. He was co-founder & director of Forum For The Future, UK’s leading sustainable development charity. Jonathon has been on the front line of environmental campaigning for more than 45 years. He’s been a member of the Green Party throughout that time, and has worked tirelessly to promote the solutions to today’s converging environmental crises. Amisha and Jonathon talk about the deeper, often unseen, realities that are unfolding during this time in our lives. They reveal how we are circling around tipping points and how the changes of our planet due to global warming are growing a sense of urgency for us to become active citizens in shaping our future. Jonathon believes that the solutions we need are already amongst us and that the energy we are investing in creating impactful climate change and social justice movements can be balanced by staying grounded. Together they share how Earth focused practices and a life lived in reciprocity with nature are essential in order for us to show up with authentic hope and not as ‘shiny optimists’. We learn that authentic hope flourishes in a realistic and science based understanding of the nature of the world and our impact on it. They explore how we can draw authentic hope from the life of funghi to form ideas for our progressive movements, and how principles of psychology of change could be accelerated by technology in moving us towards a balancing of systems of powers. Their conversations guide us not to sweat perfectionism and to understand our spiritual insights as an even more powerful call to action from our heartlands than that presented by political ideologies.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/10/22/e109-jonathon-porritt-on-authentic-hope-staying-grounded-and-intergenerational-justice-a-call-to-action-a-hope-in-hell/ 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/

Can Earth raise our consciousness into living lives of true reciprocity? In this episode entitled Walking Earth With The Gifts Of The Stars, Amisha speaks with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and a Sundancer in the cosmology of the Lakota Nation. He has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy, and is an international speaker on Peace, Indigenous and Mother Earth perspective. He is the founder, host and executive producer of “First Voices Radio”. In 2016 Tiokasin received a Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.  Amisha and Tiokasin journey along a stream of consciousness guided by Tiokasin’s Indigenous cornerstones and his fluid interbeing with Earth and Cosmos. Tiokasin opens up a portal to the Lakota understanding of innocence and elemental consciousness that we can receive by Earth listening to us and teaching us to hear our hearts lessons through its abundant gifts. He reveals how we have constructed systems of fear that condition us to speak tactically, economically and anthropocentrically, instead of naturally. He shares insights into the world of Lakota language, an Earth language of indigenous intelligence embedded in verbs, motion and action that speaks to three dimensions, that knows no war nor gender, and is created to relate and not divide or exclude.  Tiokasin’s shares that the Corona virus is presenting us with 33 intelligences brought to us at this time to expand our consciousness and to see our future within the Earth. We learn that we can grow to understand the virus in new forms; a pathway to understand the tools and energy of the earth to grow our relationship to the cosmos, and expand us into beings that are guided by the gifts of the stars to live a life of true reciprocity.     Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/10/08/e107-tiokasin-ghosthorse-on-earth-languages-consciousness-and-indigenous-intelligence-walking-earth-with-the-gifts-of-the-stars/ 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 can we do to honour those that hold the world together? In this episode entitled Playing In The Wild Fields Of Trust, Amisha brings together Manish Jain (E39), an un-educator, giftivist, writer and co-founder of the Unschooling movement in India, Bayo Akomolafe (E13), a poet, philosopher, psychologist, professor and curator of the Emergence Network and Charles Eisenstein (E98) a social philosopher, author and public speaker; three leading thinkers and visionaries seeking to understand and shape the fabric of our earthly communities in new ways. In this life-affirming conversation they share their observations and insights of what is unfolding in their respective cultures during the current season of change. As invisible ‘secrets’, rituals and mythologies that bind or polarise our communities are revealed, they invite us into exploration of how we might change our worldviews relating to death, education, power dynamics and trust.  They talk about how with care for community, village economies and mutual aid, we may form life experiences that counteract our sense of separation and the fragile hostile global systems we have constructed. They reveal our current transformation as an opportunity to ask new questions about how we hope to shape this moment and how we might grow new fields of trust honouring the exponential possibilities we could seed. Their heart-led approaches encourage us to envision these possibilities as sacred sanctuaries where we might encounter things that are greater than ourselves. Their deep bond of brotherhood invites our spirit of playfulness to seek out wilder forms of thinking and education, wilder forms of coalitions, wilder forms of communication and change to shape new patterns of interbeing.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/10/01/e106-trust-interbeing-and-sacred-sanctuaries-with-bayo-akomolafe-charles-eisenstein-and-manish-jain-playing-in-the-wild-fields-of-trust/ 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/

Can we condition ourselves to become progressive vessels that forge a regenerative future? In this episode entitled Futurenauts Sailing With The Compass Of Change, Amisha speaks with Mark Stevenson, a ‘reluctant futurist’, author, broadcaster and expert on global trends and innovation. Mark is one of the world’s most respected thinkers on the interplay of technology and society, helping a diverse mix of clients, from government departments to corporates to NGOs become future literate and adapt their cultures and strategies. Amisha and Mark talk about perseverance, the possibilities for profound change arising from the pandemic and our need for future literacy. They explore the possibilities of change revealed by this unique moment of the pandemic; a moment that is a crisis of our hearts and a time of reflection where the impossible is possible. Mark shares his ways of staying fit, motivated and in balance whilst doing work that is bigger than him, work that affects system change with ministries, governments, powerful CEOs and investors. He believes that fitness teaches us that progress is slow and achieved with consistency Together speak of the idea that sustainable development is not simply about change, but about cultivating future literacy, and that artists can teach us ways to engage people emotionally with powerful tools that connect us to where possibilities bloom. We learn that sustainable change is founded on speaking to people’s hearts and growing our interconnectedness, and that with perseverance we can all effectively create transformation. This persistence of taking incremental steps in growing our visions is a fulfilling way to build long-lasting systemic change.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2020/09/24/e105-mark-stevenson-on-systemic-change-fitness-and-perseverance-futurenauts-sailing-with-the-compass-of-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/
