How can simple ways of living in beauty and balance forge effective change in a turmoiled world? In this episode entitled Remembering The Power Of Who We Are, Amisha talks to Jimena Paratcha, mother, community leader, conscious entrepreneur and horsewoman. With 20 years of working in the social justice sector, Jimena is the founder of Action for Brazil's Children's Trust and a founding partner of Street Child United. An activist at heart, Jimena today focuses on campaigning for Fossil Free Sussex and Ecocide Law.

She is a Guardian of the Yawanawa and Tukano people of Amazonian Brazil, a partner of the Akasha Retreat Centre in Rio de Janeiro, a trustee of TreeSisters and a founding member of Friends of the River Medway. Jimena shares her story of origin and key steps of her life’s journey as a mother raising three children and as a generous activist supporting communities and addressing the growing environmental crisis. She reveals that her personal healing has helped her move from a place of embodied awareness and balance enabling heart-led choices reflected in her work with TreeSisters and Friends of the River Medway in Sussex, a project that weaves together practical, legal and sacred spiritual priorities to honour and care for the vitality of the local rivers. Amisha and Jimena explore the importance of motherhood and how living atuned to nature’s and our own inner cycles provides vital moments of calm that connects us to our inner voice and creativity.  We learn that growing practices of spaciousness and stillness will align us with our bodies intelligence, our feelings and physical sensations, rather than our intellect. This simplicity of being in our bodies is a powerful way to bring alive a gentle way of living in beauty and balance, from which we can activate more effective change in our local communities and society at large.

How do we reveal and embody our magnetism and authenticity through our style choices? In this episode entitled The Power Of Our Second Skin, Amisha talks to Kerry Wilde, a Slow Fashion and Women’s Empowerment advocate who’s work harmonises Spirituality, Sustainability and Style. Kerry believes that dressing is a way to create a new culture of Authentic Beauty and loving Self-expression and that the future of fashion is rooted in the Art of Adornment and Soul Style. Kerry trained in Reiki, Yoga, Feminine Embodiment and Womb Healing. She is the Founder of Art of Slow: an online platform to educate and bring awareness to the frequency of our clothing, an ambassador for the Empowerment Collective, an initiative set to eradicate Slave Labour, and she recently launched the ‘Art of Womxn’ program. In this conversation, Amisha and Kerry speak about the ‘art of adornment’ and ‘soul style’ as ways of dismantling insidious cultural beauty norms and myths. They explore how these can become powerful forms of authentic and emotive expression aligned with our personal values, spirituality and unique sense of beauty. Together the share insights into fast and slow fashion, and the impacts of these on beauty culture, planet and people. Kerry shares her awakening into style and adornment as spiritual practices catalysed by her personal experiences working in Fast Fashion, and raised as a mixed race woman in a white family. She talks about her explorations of somatic and embodiment practices for trauma resolution and for growing our felt sense of authenticity and intuition; powerful style guides that birth our magnetism. We learn that to fully transmit our beauty, royalty and serenity through our style means that we need to let go of misguided perceptions and masks we wear. Letting go of these, and the old pieces in our wardrobes, is a way of releasing constructed identities that no longer serve us; a way of aligning with our wellbeing and the essence of ourselves as we start to inhabit the natural harmonic place of resonance with who we are.

What would a new story of human progress look like if we reconnected with nature and worked with nature as partner? In this episode entitled Optimal Blueprints Of Connection, Amisha talks to Andres Roberts, a human development guide whose vision is to reconnect us with nature. Andres brings together innovative approaches to leadership aiming to forge change that embraces the wisdom from ancient cultures and deep work with nature. He is the founding partner of the ‘Bio-Leadership Project’, co-founder of ‘Way of Nature UK’, and a guide to contemporary rites of passage that support deep transformation. Amisha and Andres explore the power of rekindling our lost relationship with nature and the potentiality it holds for carving out a new story of human progress where we live in reciprocal partnerships with nature, technology, engineering, and human intelligence garnered from ancient wisdom traditions and the failings of extractive culture. Andres shares his experiences of guiding people on nature quests; formative experiences of observation and listening to nature that restore a sense of belonging and release us from culturally dominant patterns of separation. He shares his work with Bio-Leadership Fellowship, a community that brings together likeminded businesses and intelligence from all over the world seeking to foster a new culture of progress in reciprocity with nature and community based on five core stories that are emerging in the world. We learn that nature is our greatest teacher and a paradise that affirms the sacredness of life. Everything is in constant flow and changing, and tuning into life’s fluidity will ground us and provide the capabilities to be adaptable during times of upheaval and uncertainty. Nature guides us into understanding our vital role as part of the natural world. When we rekindle a connection with nature, a new intelligence emerges, and a sense of wholeness, beauty and wonder grows, that naturally pulls us into envisioning a more beautiful world.

They illuminate the reasons why the world’s largest democracy is failing, what that means for the world and the silver linings of community activism, crisis innovation, international support and courageous journalism that are emerging under the weight of this crisis. Shruti shares insights into living a creative life as a filmmaker navigating complex ideas and companies in a quest for truths that connect us with authentic voices and brave narratives. She speaks about the importance of working with good teams that can lead and support each other in reciprocity with kindness and empathy.

Joy as resistance is one way for us to release anger and build joy and happiness. We just need to show up with heart.  Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2021/05/13/e136-shruti-ganguly-on-pandemic-genocide-cultural-wealth-and-resistance-revival-silver-linings-in-a-crisis/ 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 move towards truthful personal power during times of polarisation? In this episode entitled Enveloped In Essence Of Gold, Amisha talks to Diahann Holder, an international Soul Success and Radiance Coach, Conscious Entrepreneur and Spiritual Healer. Her own personal healing journey took her around the world learning and training within different esoteric healing modalities. Today Diahann supports female visionaries, leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs to form their unique soul “sauce” to forge positive impact in their lives and professional fields. She hosts transformational empowerment programmes and private coaching alongside retreats and events to awaken awareness within the body, minds and souls. Amisha and Diahann explore the idea that the polarised complexities emerging in our world today can no longer be held by our current personal and systemic capacities. They are a call for an archaic revival, a time for reclamation of ancestral wisdom and practices, and for embodying our truths. Diahann believes that by tending and nurturing our internal worlds we will equip ourselves with resources and embodied resilience needed to face external challenges whilst retaining our sense of freedom and joy. She talks about how by fiercely standing in our personal truths, we will flourish brave relationships that bring alive a sense of deep connection, shared values, courage and happiness. They share that doing what we can with what we have in the moment, and not spiritually bypassing intelligence that lays beyond our perceived limitation, is essential for birthing new visions of collective potentiality.  We learn that in order to flourish a compelling future with the greatest possible outcome, we need to learn to give to others by building upon the energy and feeling behind our actions for the greater good. Daily rituals, letting go of our seriousness and learning to trust in our own mystery will help us reclaim personal power ultimately enveloping us in our golden essence of life.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2021/05/06/e135-diahann-holder-on-embodied-resilience-spiritual-bypassing-and-flourishing-relationships-enveloped-in-essence-of-gold/ 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/

We need to give people a taste of a different future and spaces for exploring possibility. We need to re-imagine our relationship with technology, spend time in nature and with practices for quieting our minds, carve intentional time to be creative, to play and tell stories. The North Stars of our future are shining in the fine details we observe and in the ways we intertwine these.   Links from this episode and more at https://allthatweare.org/2021/04/29/e134-rob-hopkins-on-collective-imagination-play-culture-and-future-mapping-new-memories-for-the-future/ 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/

Together they reflect that we don’t need expensive apparatus to encourage a shift of consciousness and the activation of generous community spirit. It is the combination of all instruments and skills available to humankind that will afford us the co-creation of new types of conscious consumerism and dynamic communities for the future.  We learn that listening to each other, taking small actions and making more conscious lifestyle choices aligned with our personal truths, are the mirrors of hope that will affect change of the mainstream and the political economic status quo, so we may conceptualise new outcomes for society.   Links from this episode and more https://allthatweare.org/2021/04/08/e131-lily-cole-on-gift-economy-local-community-and-technology-optimism-our-reflections-in-mirrors-of-hope/ 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/
