This TIMELESS turns everything on it’s head. What if the most educated amongst us are the most disconnected? Here we lovingly dismantle factory schooling, recall village intelligence, and discuss a practical path into gift culture.

TIMELESS // How to Find the Leader Within You with Mac Macartney - E251
All That We Are
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.

TIMELESS // 'How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely' with Almunis Alejandra Ortiz - E249
All That We Are
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...
