all that we are with amisha ghadiali (fka the future is beautiful)

Welcome to 'all that we are' (formally the future is beautiful) with amisha ghadiali. On this show we explore the weave between activism, the sacred, creativity and regeneration. The spaces where our inner and outer worlds dance. From healing trauma to nature connection to new technologies to ancient wisdom - it’s time for us to move beyond silos and into an integrated way of being. Every one of us has ideas and personal experiences to share that can lead us to a more beautiful future. Despite the challenges we face as a global community or the pressures we meet in our daily lives, when we stop and dare to listen, to ask ourselves the big questions and to share what we are already doing and envisioning, we create the futures of our wildest dreams. And we begin to embody all that we are, all that we are becoming and all that is possible. Discover more about our collective and podcast at www.allthatweare.org

Shilo Shiv Suleman and Mallence Bart-Williams on Embodied Decolonisation, Sensuality and Cultural Reclamation - E184 How do we decolonise and reclaim the sensuous powers of our divine feminine? In this episode entitled Lineage Of Abundance, Amisha talks to Mallence Bart-Williams, a Sierra Leonean-German multi-facetted social entrepreneur who uses film, fashion, botanical alchemy, writing and philanthropy as forms of expression to instill balance in this world, and Shilo Shiv Suleman, an award-winning Indian artist whose work lives and breathes at the intersection of Magical Realism, Art, Technology and Social Justice. Her work is unapologetically embodied weaving together the sensual and sacred, past and future- through paintings, wearable sculptures, interactive installations and public art interventions. Mallence and Shilo reveal the facets of their newly launched collaborative space ‘Lineage’ that draws on their personal cultures and lineages. ‘Lineage’ is a diverse cultural space in Ubud, Bali, containing a library, art gallery, chai and wine bar. The intention of ‘Lineage’ is to be an offering for us to reimagine our futures and to bring alive practices of embodied decolonisation that reclaim ancient trade routes and our imagination, so we may reconnect with our sensuous bodies and a culture of abundance. They explore :: insights and stories revealing their personal cultural lineages and ancestral practices :: cultural appropriation and capitalisation of ancestral practices, such as yoga :: cultural regeneration and to how to reclaim our sensuous power of the divine feminine :: culture of shame & colonial laws of oppression that continue to reap hate and division in our communities :: joy as a form of resistance & reclamation Links from this episode and more at For Amisha's book INTUITION - Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, To work with Amisha one on one, visit /episode/index/show/thefutureisbeautiful/id/27633987

Louis Weinstock on Attention Economy, Children’s Mental Health And Grief - E180 How can we reclaim and build the capacity for our inner wisdom in a world of distraction? In this episode entitled Windows Of Tolerance, Amisha talks to Louis Weinstock, a Transpersonal Child Psychotherapist and Social Entrepreneur. He guides children and grown-ups through some of the toughest challenges life can throw at us – loss, trauma, divorce, burnout and breakdowns.

He’s the author of ‘How The World Is Making Our Children Mad, And What To Do About It’, and his work has been featured on the BBC, ITV, and in The Guardian.

He shares examples of how especially children are affected by issues arising from identity, social media, climate crisis and AI. He reveals how we can navigate this and support each other through hopelessness, grief and trauma. He sparks ideas on how we can grow our window of tolerance and fruitful engagement with our inner world, so that we may find our way back to our inner wisdom and authority.

The Path of Healing // Fields of Potential - E179 06/29/2023

Zach Bush on Soil Regeneration, Beauty And Nature’s Evolution - E178 06/22/2023

Zach Bush on Soil Regeneration, Beauty And Nature’s Evolution - E178 How do we express a different humanity and become healthy co-creators of a beautiful future with planet Earth? In this episode entitled Seeds for Humanity, Amisha talks with Zach Bush, MD, a physician specialising in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is an internationally recognised educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease and food systems. He founded ‘Seraphic Group’ and the non-profit ‘Farmer’s Footprint’ to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. His passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. Zach brings alive threads between science, regenerative agriculture, spirituality and personal life experiences. He reveals the profound and misguided story behind Carbon and CO2 that is causing the extinction of our planet and is actually an industrialised destruction of biodiversity in our soil health. He shares about the transformation planet Earth and humanity are experiencing at this time; a seeking of enlightenment, a rediscovery of real purpose, and universal acceptance that we are nature and beauty is our common ground. Zach calls it a ‘hospice moment’ where we are stepping into a co-creation process with Earth, where we realise and reset our relationship to nature and ourselves as a species. We are learning to express a different humanity and prosper lives de-programmed from fear, guilt and shame. Zach shares a special mediation to ground us into these hopeful concepts. We learn :: about the pseudoscience around carbon and CO2 and a new way of understanding it :: about the destruction and regeneration of biodiversity within our soil systems and the relationship of our gut microbiome and soil :: that we have about 60 harvests of food left on this planet, and the knowledge and behaviour changes we need to turn around that crisis :: that we are nature and that beauty is the centre of the universe :: that we can express a different humanity by eliminating our fear, guilt and shame Links from this episode and more at For Amisha's book INTUITION - Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, To get ION in the UK with 10% off, use code Amisha10, . /episode/index/show/thefutureisbeautiful/id/27233616

Barbara J Hunt on Forgiveness, Restorative Justice and Healthy Boundaries - E177 06/15/2023

Barbara J Hunt on Forgiveness, Restorative Justice and Healthy Boundaries - E177 How can we understand our inner world as a place of forgiveness and creativity designed to shape a thriving world? In this episode entitled Melodies Of Freedom, Amisha talks to Barbara J Hunt, a forgiveness specialist and bestselling author of “Forgiveness Made Easy”. She has over 30 years experience in personal and spiritual development as a mentor, coach and group facilitator. She leads on-line "Forgiveness Field" working in private practice internationally and on bespoke retreats in rural Somerset in the UK. Barbara is also an integral musician and singer-songwriter, and her newest album and her next book are due to be released in 2023. Barbara takes us into the deep layers of forgiveness work, a skill and practice she believes is a superpower. Forgiveness is a way of embracing our humanity and diversity to heal our souls and flourish our freedom; an effective tool that underpins restorative justice. She reveals that practicing three strands of forgiveness :: self forgiveness, asking for forgiveness and offering forgiveness :: draws on our imagination to clear grievances, resentments, trauma and cultural addictions making way for compassionate and thriving ways of life. Together they reveal personal experiences of putting this work into practice; the imagination it kindles, the strangled grief it releases and the healthy boundaries it forges. We hear some of Barbara’s songs, responses to her life experiences. We learn that forgiveness is an act of amnesty and an invitation to move beyond cancel-culture into a peaceful future full of possibility. We learn about :: why forgiveness is a practice we need to co-create a beautiful future :: forgiveness; its 3 strands of practice and its shadows of ego and resentment :: forgiveness as an effective tool for restorative justice and freedom movement :: how forgiveness creates healthy boundaries, compassion and community :: its healing superpowers for our physical, mental health and emotional health, and intimacy Links from this episode and more at For Amisha's book INTUITION - Be part of AllThatWeAre community by using this link, To work with Amisha one on one, visit /episode/index/show/thefutureisbeautiful/id/27156555

Asmaa Guedira on Nomadic Communities, Intersectionality and Decolonisation - E176 06/08/2023

Asmaa Guedira on Nomadic Communities, Intersectionality and Decolonisation - E176 How do we deconstruct binaries and colonial structures to flourish communities rooted in generosity? In this episode entitled Roots Of Humility, Amisha talks to Asmaa Guedira, a facilitator, consultant, artist, writer and designer catalysing transformation at the intersection of system change, leadership, feminism and regenerative futures. A Moroccan nomad, Asmaa thrives to build bridges between different cultures. From managing international development programs in South West Asia and North Africa to designing transformative learning experiences for leaders in Berlin, California, France or Australia, Asmaa has been connecting artivists, changemakers and leaders in over 20 countries. Asmaa is a fellow of the Policy Center for the Global South and BMW Foundation Leaders Program, and is involved in various global networks like OuiShare, Amanitas, Global Innovation Gathering, Sandbox or African Crossroads. She co-authored 2 books: ‘Société Collaborative’ and ‘Le Manifeste des Crapauds Fous’ and is currently writing her memoir about identity. Asmaa currently lives on Bundjalung Country, where she runs eco-feminists retreats with WELA. Her art addresses the colonisation of our bodies and mind, our intimacy, identity and the role of healing. Amisha and Asmaa share their experiences of a privileged ‘nomadic’ lifestyle highlighting its shadows intertwined with new-age change-maker communities. They explore how we can re-invent these by deconstructing binaries and colonial structures so we may flourish communities that are rooted in ancient nomadic principles of generosity and humility that will serve our collective future. Asmaa shares her vulnerable journey of migration integrating an intersectional identity, blooming her queerness and a full sense of belonging. We learn that sharing our personal stories and growing our humility is a vital part of how we can all contribute to decolonisation; an invitation to understand our lives differently and to share knowledge that will move us from an extractive to a generous, simple and slow way of life.

Richard Andrew Salony on Conscious Technology, Psychedelics And Prosperity - E175 06/01/2023

Richard Andrew Salony on Conscious Technology, Psychedelics And Prosperity - E175 How do we awaken and connect to the power of our authenticity to build prosperous and regenerative lives? In this episode entitled Our Gifts Of Magnetism, Amisha talks with Richard Andrew Salony, an entrepreneur and philanthropist with a visionary life path. From a monastic community, where he lived as a young man for seven years before transitioning to a global tech entrepreneur; his gift is a visionary ability to not only anticipate ground shaking paradigm shifts, but also to develop tangible commercial strategies that result in mass market adoption. Today he launches, finances and advises companies, movements, products and services that replace antiquated systems and will ultimately lead us to a sustainable future. He holds events and serves as a guest speaker, participant in think tanks, conferences, gatherings and Jeffersonian dinners focused on establishing a new narrative for a sustainable future. Andrew shares his visionary journey from monk to organic food and later tech entrepreneur. He believes that three components are essential for us to cultivate a prosperous future; authenticity, empathy and a deeper connection with nature. They talk about the promise of psychedelics and AI as a way of flourishing prosperous futures and addressing our global mental health crisis resulting from disconnected mainstream cultures. Andrew believes that widespread use of plant medicines will awaken us into a society rooted in collective care and empathy rebuilding our loss of connection and authenticity. They reveal that AI has the potential to become a conscious technology that can support us on this quest by transforming our society through creative tools and businesses that are of service in ways yet unimaginable. We learn that each person has the creative ability to access all they need to flourish prosperity at any given time by cultivating their gifts of magnetism.

SleepyEye on Earth Spirit Movement, The Divine Feminine and Colonialism - E174 05/25/2023

SleepyEye on Earth Spirit Movement, The Divine Feminine and Colonialism - E174 How do we draw on sacred traditions and cultures to create a movement that builds our future? In this episode entitled Smoke Signals Of Change, Amisha speaks with SleepyEye an indigenous wisdom keeper. He shares healings and teachings of the Americas and of the yogic tradition in ceremonies, ancient songs and ways to connect to the elements. He has dedicated his life to the pursuit of finding healing ways of being within all Nations of the Americas; ways of life that would not only benefit his Sisseton-Wapheton Dakota and Tonawanda Seneca people, but ways that can benefit all of life. Learning to live with sacred ancient teachings that were passed down since the beginning of time in a modern day world has been very challenging, but SleepyEye has been able to merge teachings of his elders with world wide teachings as well. SleepyEye shines a light on the earth spirit movement that is awakening consciousness in all human beings. He believes that by sharing the sacred teachings of native traditions and cultures we bring alive healing, reconnecting us with the spiritual essence of Mother nature and the divine feminine. He talks about the power of prayer, ceremony and the four elements; resourceful foundations that bring us into natural alignment and practice. They speak about colonial legacies and the destruction of the teachings, traditions, ceremony and prayer of the Dakota people and beyond. They share their encounters with racism and white privilege, and how they have honed their gifts despite these challenges. We learn that we must look towards the native people, indigenous wisdom keepers, the carriers of ancient ways that have survived evil and trauma and nonetheless are the living extensions of ancient sacred teachings. We must follow the smoke signals of change by teaming up to heal ourselves and our communities to make way for the ones coming behind us.
