Jewels is founder and director of 'Living Love' and the creator of 'EarthHeart', where she connects us with her unique methodology to catalyse humanities evolution reminding us of the interconnectedness of life. Jewels' work draws on a rich tapestry of wisdom and teachings, including earth based spirituality, sacred ecology/environmental work, shamanism from Celtic lore, ancestral gateways, the ecology of conscious relationship and sacred sexuality. She facilities grief work, ancient womb wisdom teachings, women's blood mysteries, ecstatic dance & somatic movement/meditation practices, birth, breath and regression work, NVC (non violent communication), drama therapy and more.

Jewels shares how she is bringing alive her inspiring vision that teaches us to thrive in our diverse differences and in relationship with the land. She reveals how her teachings nourish a form of autonomous reciprocal leadership that embeds us into nature, empathy and collective community. We learn that living and thriving with our diverse differences is a way of breaking through colonial legacies of mono crop culture.

Sophie Strand on Ecological Embodiment, New Myths and Healthism - E166 Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

How can our stories be useful to our communities and become live saving myths and ecologies?

In this episode entitled Compost Heap Wisdom, Amisha talks to Sophie Strand. Sophie is a writer and thinker who takes us to new heights and deep crevices at the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. Her first book of essays 'The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine' was published by Inner Traditions in Fall 2022. Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels 'The Madonna Secret' comes out in Summer 2023.

Amisha and Sophie speak about the magic of myth-making and the possibilities of adjacent live-saving realities they open up; places where we may envision humankind as part of an ecological niche. Sophie shares about her life with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a rare genetic connective tissue disease that affects her entire body. By recognising the porousness of her body, she reveals the messiness of decay, ego death and life's anxieties. As a result she brings alive life-affirming myths and new ideas around communities rooted in the deep wisdoms of the compost heap.

They delve into healthism and its exiling consequences. They reveal that its prevalence in Western medical paradigms and New Age spirituality, holds us personally responsible for coming into normativity distracting from the nourishing essence that exists within our diverse survival strategies. Sophie speaks about Eco grief, a natural outcome of Earth that is surviving outside its window of tolerance.

We learn that sharing our profoundly messy and psychedelic stories along with the small fixes we have learnt through survival is an important form of activism that boosts our communities; whilst gathering in dance and joining hands to distribute feelings of grief and anxiety might be our lighthouse of survival.

Ronan Harrington on Resilience, Cultural Change and Burnout - E165 Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

How do we grow steady legs of resilience in uncertain times?

In this episode entitled Flying Too Close To The Sun, Amisha talks with Ronan Harrington, a resilience expert and accomplished voice on the transformative power of adversity. He advises organisations and institutions on how to move from Burnout to Resilience and counts Deloitte, KPMG, Sky, the UK Government and Oxford University amongst his clients. He has held a variety of roles bridging personal and societal transformation as lead futurist to the British Foreign Office, co-coordinator for the political strategy for Extinction Rebellion and founder of Alter Ego, a European network of political leaders and activists growing connection between spirituality and politics.

Ronan speaks about his strive to transform the political frameworks of our time by introducing spirituality and mysticism into its mainstream to forge deep cultural change. He believes that political acts can be acts of grace and his work with Alter Ego, was a space to decondition and nourish political leaders and activists into integrity.

Amisha and Ronan share their personal histories of burnout and chronic health conditions, and how it has affected the way they move in the world. They recognise that attempting cultural transformation requires us to have a well-resourced support structure; financially, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Ronan talks about his work as a resilience leader finding ways to equip us with soft foundations and strong cores that can move with the tremors of our time.

We learn that our times call for us to increase our forms of resilience in ways that enable us to embrace dualities, and to hold ultimate grief and ultimate possibility at the same time; muscles we need to grow to be able to fly closer to the sun.

From Me to We // A Spirituality Of Wholeness - E161 Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

How can we expand our spirituality and activism to serve the challenges of our time?

For this very special episode entitled A Spirituality Of Wholeness, we are giving you a peek into our recent learning journey with a treasured guest faculty. 'From Me To We' is a gathering of conversations and somatic experiences around the most urgent themes we live amongst. It is an invitation to journey into the heart, to feel into new ways of learning and unlearning; to tend to the seeds of wisdom that live within us all.

Through 6 speaker sessions, embodiment experiences and community space, we delve deep into how we may embrace polarity and the complexities of now, how we may dismantle new age spirituality, understand our privilege, and give rise to engaged activism; essentially how we may embody a spirituality of wholeness, that is more expansive, inclusive, and honours our connection to the Earth.

This episode shares some of the wisdom from this course, and it is an invitation for you to join us. You will hear 26 voices in this episode amplifying the energy of this collective journey with the intention of breaking down the divisive structures we live within. These sparks of conversation reveal the complexities of challenges we are facing during these times. They open new viewpoints and emphasise possibilities of how we may open our wings into all that we are.

You are now invited to take this journey in your own time, at your own pace with unlimited access to the recordings. This is offered on a sliding scale, and this week, when you join our membership of 'all that we are' it is offered as a gift.

Beau Lotto on Perception, Spirituality and Neuroscience - E160 Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

How do we understand and change our reality?

In this episode entitled The Possibility Of Change, Amisha talks to Beau Lotto, a neuroscientist and world-renowned expert in perception. Beau's research explores the ways in which we experience the world through our own versions of reality. By illuminating principles of perception, he has helped individuals and companies transform their approach to creativity and innovation. Beau is the founder of the world's first neuro-design studio, Lab of Misfits, which takes a disruptive approach to research, partnering with brands and research institutes to blend science, art and performance to explore pivotal principles in current culture. He is a sought after public speaker and author of 'Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently'.

Amisha and Beau talk about the remarkable power of our minds. Beau takes us into the deeper layers of his research sharing vivid examples of how our past experiences shape our perceptions, define our behaviour patterns and become meaningful experiences. He explains how our brains encode the histories of meaning and generates future behaviour patterns and perceptions.

Beau reveals that we have the power to expand our identities and experience ourselves as diverse beings when we change our perceptions. They talk about the how we are the source of our lived patterns and that shifting these is possible by taking agency of the context that these were created in.

We learn that bringing wonder and awe into our lives increases the possibility of change. The possibility itself lies within becoming self-aware and self-honest, and aligning our actions and words with our values, intentions and insight, which changes the context of our egos and our past patterns. This process expands our identities offering us to live an authentic, diverse and fearless life.

Polly Higgins on Ecocide, Climate Breakdown and Purposeful Living - E159 Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

How do we harness our life force to protect the Earth?

This episode is a special tribute to Polly Higgins 'Earth Lawyer', a visionary barrister, author and environmental lobbyist, who devoted all her time to one client - the Earth. Since 2010, she lobbied the UN Law Commission to recognise ecocide as an international crime making the word "ecocide" globally understood inspiring parliamentarians, ecologists, lawyers to artists. It was a proposal Polly envisioned to become a powerful law to protect the Earth and its diverse ecologies and communities; an economical and political game changer. We initially aired this episode in late 2018, and Polly passed away shortly after. Polly's life's work continues to be of urgency to protect the future of this beautiful planet and its people.

Amisha and Polly speak about how Polly's ecocide quest began with a powerful thought, 'the Earth is in need of a good lawyer', which crossed her mind whilst continuously witnessing big transnational corporations, fossil fuel extraction, Monsanto industrialised agriculture, ExxonMobil, causing massive destruction in the world. She describes this as a 'critical choice point' that called her to step into her higher life purpose.

Polly shares how international laws are created and how forging financial access to bring vulnerable Nations to the table of negotiations of ecocide laws became a vital part of her mission. She reveals that gifting culture and growing law literacy were the predominant modus operandi driving her teams' mission to expand our communities of resilient Earth protectors.

We learn that life presents all of us with tiny windows of opportunity to completely change our lives and that of those around us. These are tipping points of radical change where we can harness our life force to serve humanity and Earth.

Toko-pa Turner on Dreamwork, Belonging and Exile - E158 Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

How do we cultivate the skill of belonging?

In this episode entitled The Power Of Our Dreams, Amisha talks with Toko-pa Turner, who founded the Dream School in 2001 blending the mystical tradition of Sufism in which she was raised with a Jungian approach to dreamwork. She is the author of the award-winning book 'Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home', which explores the themes of exile and the search for belonging. Sometimes called a Midwife of the Psyche, Toko-pa's work focuses on restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, and facilitating grief & ritual practice.

Amisha and Toko-pa speak about dream practices and how the symbolisms of our dreams are a language that can bring us into alignment with nature. Toko-pa reveals how her intention to bring dreaming back to the people may be able to regulate the global psyche by helping us work through our inner conflicts. Together they imagine governments as dream councils and the impact this might have on addressing the humanities crisis relating to climate change, racism, poverty, greed and our fear of otherness.

Toko-pa shares deeper insights into her book 'Belonging' and how we can develop competencies in overcoming exile in a world that undervalues our dreams. She talks about understanding such experiences of exile and rejection as coming into deep relationship with our integrity and belonging with ourselves and the wider living world.

We learn that when we pay attention to our dreams it connects us with our deepest source of creativity and collective visions that can help us see into the past and the future. It is a way for us to become interested in the diversity all around us. We all hold a different part of the puzzle to building a world where we belong.
