Naina Eira Gupta on Psychedelics, Mind Training and the End of Separation // To Feel Everything and Not Be Lost - E265
What happens when we stop chasing spiritual highs and start training the mind for the benefit of all beings? In this episode, Amisha speaks with Naina Eira Gupta, PhD(c), whose work explores the relationship between contemplative practice, unitive states and psychedelics. Naina brings together philosophy, Buddhism, Vajrayana Tantra, psychedelic science, the Nālandā tradition and her own lived experience of mind training. She shares how early experiences with psychedelics opened profound states of dissolution, and how Tibetan Buddhist practice helped her understand that the point is not to chase spiritual highs, but to cultivate lasting traits of awareness, compassion, humility and discernment. Together, Amisha and Naina explore suffering, grief, nondual awareness, the self, spiritual protection, lineage, community and the distortions of the New Age. They speak about the difference between feeling suffering fully and ruminating on it, and how ancient wisdom can help us meet pain without bypassing it or becoming lost inside our stories. Naina invites us into a deeper understanding of psychedelics as a tool, not a destination. She speaks about why powerful experiences need strong ethical, contemplative and communal containers, and why practice is ultimately not for personal peace alone, but for the benefit of all beings. This is a fierce, funny and deeply alive conversation about the nature of mind, the end of separation, and how to become more spacious in a world shaped by division, urgency and collapse. Listen to explore: . psychedelics as a tool, not a destination . the difference between states and traits . mind training and stabilised awareness . nondual awareness and the nature of mind . suffering, rumination and spiritual bypassing . Vipassana, Advaita and Buddhist philosophy . lineage, protection and discernment . moving beyond the self-referential story .

TIMELESS // 'How to be True to Your Creative Fire' with William Etundi - E264
In this TIMELESS episode, we revisit a conversation from 2018 with William Etundi on creativity, activism and the slow, imperfect spiralling up of change. William reflects on the activist movements that shaped him, the cost of forcing change, and the quieter courage of listening to what is most essential within us. Moving from political burnout into creative truth, he shares a powerful reminder that creativity does not have to save the whole world to matter. For anyone who has ever tried to be useful, good or brave while quietly abandoning their own spark, this conversation is a call back to the fire within. Sometimes, tending the fire inside is what brings us back to life. We highly recommend you to listen to the full episode as well, tune in For links and more, please visit

Harriet Goudard on Horse Constellations, Lineage and Belonging // The Wisdom of the Herd - E263
How can we live with more trust, belonging, and courage in a fractured world? In this episode, Amisha speaks with Harriet Goudard about belonging, Family Constellations, horses, ancestry, and the living intelligence of the field. Together they explore what it means to belong in a time of fracture, isolation, and disconnection. Harriet shares how horses, through their herd wisdom, presence, and sensitivity, can reveal something vital about how we take our place in family, community, leadership, and life. This conversation moves through the ancestral patterns that shape us, the nervous system capacity required to stay in relationship, and the ways we often defend, perform, withdraw, or make others into perpetrators when something in us has not yet been met. Amisha and Harriet reflect on the complexity of family systems, the limits of simplistic ideas of “toxicity”, and the need to move beyond blame without bypassing real pain. They speak about conflict as part of belonging, and how relationships, communities, and lineages ask us to grow our capacity to stay present with what is difficult, tender, and true. Harriet shares her work with Family Constellations and horses, including how horses can act as powerful mirrors, guides, and diagnostic presences in the field. She speaks about her own journey with horses, the wild ponies of Dartmoor, and the deep systemic wisdom held by ancient equine lineages. This beautiful conversation is an invitation to soften, to lean back into trust, to resource ourselves through our lineage, and to remember that belonging is not a perfect state. It is a living practice of being seen, staying open, and taking our place. Listen to explore: . Family Constellations with horses . horses as teachers of belonging . why belonging has become fractured . ancestral and family system patterns . nervous system capacity and relational repair . conflict in relationships and communities . moving beyond blame, victimhood, and projection . authenticity as a slower, embodied path . intuition, the field, and the intelligence of life . the wisdom of the Dartmoor Hill ponies Links from this episode and more at

TIMELESS // 'How to Build a Future we can Actually Live in' with Daniel Epstein - E262
In this TIMELESS episode, we revisit a conversation with Daniel Epstein from E152 on how we build a future we can actually live in. Together, Daniel and Amisha explore what it means to repurpose capitalism as a tool for regeneration, rather than extraction. They look at the relationship between doing good, doing well, and being well, asking how entrepreneurship can serve life without asking us to sacrifice our bodies, relationships, or joy along the way. Daniel shares examples of pioneering companies that The Unreasonable Fellowship is supporting, creating more inclusive and regenerative futures: from transforming pollution into usable materials to reimagining food systems, farming, and soil health. This conversation also opens into the deeper conditions needed for meaningful change: courage, community, long-term thinking, passion, and an honest reckoning with privilege. Listen to explore: . capitalism as a tool for regeneration . doing good, doing well, and being well . entrepreneurship, wellness, and the myth of endless hard work . why long-term change needs community and support . recognising that poverty, climate, health, soil, and justice are part of one living system . the role of privilege, courage, and devotion in becoming an entrepreneur . how to build a future that feeds life We highly recommend you to listen to the full episode as well, tune in For links and more, please visit

Farah Orths on Belonging, Prayer and Worthiness // The End of Separation - E261
What if belonging was never something we had to earn? In this tender and nourishing conversation, Amisha sits down with Farah Orths to explore belonging, prayer, love, and what it means to live beyond separation. Drawing from her own journey through intrusive thoughts, questions of identity, and a lifelong search for belonging, Farah shares how she came to discover a deeper home in Divine love, one that exists beyond achievement, certainty, or the need to become someone else. Together, Amisha and Farah explore the difference between false belonging and true belonging, the role of prayer and presence in uncertain times, and how we might soften rather than harden in the face of life's challenges. They reflect on spirituality beyond self-improvement, questioning modern narratives of manifestation, worthiness, abundance, and endless becoming, while returning to a simpler understanding of prayer, presence, and our inherent belonging. The conversation weaves through the neuroscience of prayer and meditation, ancestral patterns of suffering and separation, the healing power of music and song, and how our relationship with money can become a doorway to remembering our innate worth. Along the way, they explore what happens when spirituality becomes another project of striving, and how we might return instead to a spirituality rooted in relationship, devotion, presence, and love. At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to lean back into what already holds us, and to remember that belonging is not something we earn, but something we return to. Listen to explore: • belonging beyond identity, lineage and separation • prayer, presence and living in relationship with the Divine • softening through grief, uncertainty and hardship • the neuroscience of prayer and meditation • false belonging versus innate belonging • ancestral patterns of suffering, survival and separation • spirituality beyond striving, performance and self-improvement • modern manifestation culture and the myth of "not enough" • music, devotion and the healing power of song • transforming our relationship with money and wealth • remembering our innate worth, wholeness and belonging Links from this episode and more at

TIMELESS // 'How Do We Unlearn Our Conditioning' with Manish Jain - E253
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. Manish Jain (co-founder of the UnSchooling movement) who walked out of Wall Street and Harvard, invites us to trade credentials for conscience, exams for experience, and scarcity for an experiment in trust. We discuss education as being, not just knowing, starting with head, heart, hands, home. Manish speaks on gift culture, giving us the advice that when scarcity knocks, we up the gift, and ritualize generosity so trust compounds. We invite you to bring home some of the ideas discussed in the episode such as running a treasure hunt by visiting 10 local people or places of skill, elders, makers, growers, repairers, musicians. Another idea is to host a Darya Dil exchange, where each person gifts a personally meaningful item with its story, and the receiver promises to pass it on within 3 months. And finally, we invite you to replace “resume” with a one page portfolio of lived projects, and publish it publicly. We also recommend that you listen to the full Episode 39 .

The Radical Act of Staying Soft // Grief as a Portal of Possibility with the Emergent Justice Collective - E252
What does it take to stay human, together, when everything asks us to harden? In this episode, Amisha sits in tender conversation with the Emergent Justice Collective led by Lisa, Lily, and Val, three transformative justice practitioners, grief workers, and embodiment activists who are visioning a different way of being with justice in the movement towards collective liberation. As we witness deepening crises around us, the impulse of so many of us can be to turn toward formal systems of power and to demand accountability through legal institutions. But Lisa, Lily, and Val offer us something more. They speak of justice stemming from love and the knowing of our interdependence and shared responsibility. Our movements are extensions of ourselves, of our positionalities, our rage and grief, and the communities to which we belong. Liberation begins in the tender spaces between us, in orienting towards relationality even as systems of oppression demand otherwise. We hope that this week’s episode really speaks to something deep in your body, and a possibility of how we live fully with everything that is happening in our world.

TIMELESS // How to Find the Leader Within You with Mac Macartney - E251
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. True leadership, as he conveys, is the quiet confidence that comes from following what matters most, not from needing to be followed. It is not something to postpone until we are fully formed; it is the art of showing up - imperfect and evolving. Through his stories, we are invited to lead with courage and care - to recognize our innate gifts, take responsibility for what we love, and stand for what is sacred and worth protecting. The conversation touches on how rarely we ask these questions of our young, even though discovering what is truly sacred may be the most vital education of all. If you’ve ever doubted your place as a leader, this one’s for you. We hope that this inspires you to live from that place in this world of who you truly are.

Each Life Sacred // The Power of Art, Music, and Hope with Anouska Beckwith, Charlotte Mabon and friends - E250 (feat. Ayla Schafer, Johnny Flynn, Olivia Fern and more)
If your heart has been broken open by what’s unfolding in Gaza, you are not alone. This episode is a place to bring that ache; a collective tapestry of grief, courage and the power of art to keep our humanity alive. Each Life Sacred was born from the choice of not looking away, from witnessing the unimaginable suffering of children in Palestine and feeling the weight of helplessness that so many of us have carried. Out of that grief, something luminous emerged - a call to create, to gather, to weave art and action into one. Holding the creative vision of this offering are artist Anouska Beckwith and singer-songwriter Charlotte Mabon, who have brought together twenty-two musicians and six artisans to create an album and fundraiser that turns sorrow into service and beauty into a bridge. In this conversation, we sit with their stories and with the voices of many of the contributing artists: Ayla Schafer, Kieran King (War Child), Taz Babiker, Matthew Barley, Naomi Greene, Johnny Flynn, Nick Barbachano, Olivia Fern, Ya’Acov Darling Khan, Anika Nixdorf, Lauren Noa (Little Whale), Petra Palumbo, as well as Leor and Souli from Ripples Collective each sharing how this project became a vessel for tenderness, courage, and collective care. May this episode remind you that each life is sacred and that our shared humanity is something we can practice, together, every day.

TIMELESS // 'How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely' with Almunis Alejandra Ortiz - E249
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 of love and validation, and rest in the truth that you are love. The voice is simply an expression of that. We speak about lineage, safety, and how many voices - especially those of women - were muted through ancestral memory.

From racism, ableism and capitalism to beauty standards and perfectionism, the ladder keeps us climbing for external validation and always leaves us feeling not enough. Radical self-love offers another way. It asks us to step off the ladder, to revisit the stories that placed us on it and to begin divesting from the messages that keep us trapped. It calls us back to our inherent worth, our divinity and our wholeness. Sonya Renee Taylor Sonya lays out her radical self-love vision. She is a New York Times best-selling author, world-renowned activist and thought leader on racial justice, body liberation and transformational change, international award winning artist, and founder of The Body Is Not an Apology (TBINAA), a global digital media and education company exploring the intersections of identity, healing, and social justice through the framework of radical self-love. This is not easy work, but it is possible through honesty, community, grace and a willingness to embrace our own complexity. And as we do it, we create the conditions not only to free ourselves, but to dismantle the ladder for everyone. We hope this short piece roots softly in your body.

Briony Greenhill on Community, Repair and Belonging // Re-Villaging the Future - E242
How do we mend the fractures of modern life and find our way back to each other? In this conversation, Bryony Greenhill shares a vision for repairing our communities - through land, song and the everyday acts that weave us back together. We explore why so many of us feel disconnected, what’s been lost in our modern way of living, and how we can start to rebuild trust, care, and shared purpose in our neighbourhoods and daily lives. Bryony shares stories and ideas for bringing the ‘village’ back as a living, breathing way of being together that can meet the challenges of our time. Briony is a teaching artist, a vocal improviser, performer, pianist, composer, and teacher of collaborative vocal improvisation. She's one of the main people who brought this art-form to the UK from West Coast USA where she lived for 10 years. She cares passionately about the transition to regenerative culture, shifting from modernity / coloniality to indigeneity, and particularly in this moment, about peace, justice and decolonisation, and as such is the co-founder of Regenerate UK. We hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone, and that together we can imagine and build the future we know we belong to.

TIMELESS // “How to Walk Through the World Without Fear” with Satish Kumar - E241
In this timeless, we explore the art of weaving the many threads of our lives into a unified whole. Drawing on the discipline of a monk, and the humility of a lifelong pilgrim, we are invited to see ecology, spirituality, social justice, and human connection as one interwoven journey. Satish Kumar is a former monk and long-term peace and environment activist, he has been quietly setting the Global Agenda for change for over 50 years. He shares how walking without fear, living with less, and dropping expectations can open us to the sacredness of all life - from a butterfly’s flight to a stranger’s kindness. He invites us to live simply yet fully, to choose time over money, and to bring reverence and celebration to each moment, whatever it holds. This timeless is about cultivating a pilgrim’s mindset in a world that often pushes us into the rush of commuting, consuming, and competing. It is a gentle yet powerful call to slow down, walk lightly, and recognise that the whole Earth is sacred, and so is every step we take upon it.

TIMELESS // “How to Make the Impossible Possible” with Nasreen Sheikh - E239
In this deeply moving and courageous episode, we hear from a woman whose life has been shaped by unimaginable hardship and who has transformed that pain into powerful service. Nasreen Sheikh is a survivor of modern-day slavery, a social entrepreneur, human rights advocate and international speaker. Born in a small rural village on the border of India and Nepal, she risked everything to escape forced marriage, child labour, and extreme poverty in search of freedom. Her lived experience now fuels her mission. Nasreen has founded several social enterprises working to end modern-day slavery and uplift the voices of those who are too often silenced. Through her work, she advocates for basic human rights as a foundation for global justice. From collecting firewood as a child in a village without electricity, to surviving abuse, bonded labour and severe poverty, this conversation brings to light the hidden realities of modern-day slavery and the strength it takes to break free from systems that are designed to keep people silent. But what emerges through her words is not despair, but an unwavering vision, a belief in the human spirit and in the belief that even the smallest act of kindness can ripple into profound change. Nasreen shares how her healing journey led her to create change, and how we can all be part of building a world where dignity, safety, and freedom are a given, not a privilege. Each of us has a role to play in shaping a more just, beautiful, and liberated world. We hope this timeless episode empowers you.

Can altered states shift our collective future? In this week’s episode, we share a powerful moment recorded at Breaking Convention, where Amisha brings together Rose Cartwright, Moudou Baqui, Iyad El-Baghdadi, Shannon Dames, Dr Simon Ruffel and Akua Ofosuhene. Each bringing their own lived experience, they explore what becomes possible when psychedelic experiences meet social change and the deep remembering of older, wiser ways of being. There is a profound bravery and deep vulnerability in this conversation that lingers long after the listening ends. Speaking of grief and revelation, darkness and rebirth, community and disconnection, they reflect on what it means to be a host for new realities, to clear the landing pad for the future and to walk with integrity as stewards of both ancient and emerging ways of knowing. We explore: :: What becomes possible when psychedelic experiences meet social change and ancestral remembering :: How extraordinary gifts are returning to people :: What it means to host new realities and prepare the landing pad for beneficial energies :: How Indigenous and Western sciences can learn from one another through mutual listening and respect :: Why we may be at the end of many paradigms and the beginning of something entirely new :: How remembering the body can be a gateway to reconciling with each other and the earth :: What happens when people stop holding back and speak from the depth of lived experience :: How the healing of community lives deep in our bones :: Why you can be hopeful even when you're pessimistic :: How psychedelics can loosen the rigidity we carry and reconnect us to what is real We hope that this episode invites you to understand differently your own healing journey and the role that psychedelics can play for all of us.

What Winter Knows // Tending to Endings with the Wilder Kin - E236
What does it mean to winter - deeply, wisely, and together? In this episode, we explore the idea of wintering in community - how we might not only survive the cold seasons of our lives, but move through them together. The Wilder Kin are a collective of five women holding space for seasonal, regenerative ways of being together in nature. Together they created Wintering - a deep invitation to slow down, reflect, and reweave community through the wisdom of the dark months. There’s something powerful that happens when we slow down, not in isolation, but in connection. When we make room for rest, reflection, and the kind of honest tending that can only happen in darker times. We talk about: :: How important it is to support ourselves and each other - not just when things are easy, but when everything feels uncertain or chaotic :: Personal winter stories and reflections about the warmth that can still be found in winter through shared meals, songs by candlelight, the quiet noticing of tiny shifts :: What becomes possible when we winter together :: How we can build our capacity to be with the endings - personal, collective, systemic :: What it means to compost the old, to let things fall, and to trust in what’s becoming This is an invitation to be with the seasons and to remember that even in winter, you are not alone.
