all that we are

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?

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/

"I didn’t make the first team in anything at school when it came to sports - which shows me how important the mind, spirit and emotions are to getting the best out of the body. I don’t think that you can get the best out of the body unless everything else is aligned." ~ Kriss Akabusi   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2018/09/06/e29-kriss-akabusi-on-human-potential-success-and-happiness-living-your-best-life-in-every-moment/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link,  https://love.allthatweare.org/membership

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

She challenges the stereotypes around women in social enterprise, speaks to the real reasons so many women are inspired to do this work, and shares nuggets of hard-earned wisdom about the joy and pain of starting out as a social entrepreneur. “Women are active in the space where they have been historically confined to. It’s not something you are born with - that eagerness to help - it’s something you learn... and sometimes you learn it because you have no other choice with what’s around you.” ~ Servane Mouazan   Links from this episode and more at  https://allthatweare.org/2018/08/16/e26-servane-mouazan-on-social-enterprise-women-and-networks-tending-the-roots-of-social-business/ For Amisha's book INTUITION - https://amisha.co.uk/intuition/ To work with Amisha one on one, visit https://amisha.co.uk/leadership/

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