Sally Kempton on Meditation, Authenticity and The Goddess - E8 Jan 11, 2018

Show notes

Cultivating inner power and understanding the tantric perspective of the divine feminine.

In this episode entitled Awakening the True Blueprint Within, Amisha sits in reflection with writer, teacher and former swami Sally Kempton. Sally grew up in a secular, socialist environment as the daughter of a well-known liberal journalist in New York, until what she calls a "download of love" during her first psychedelic experience led her to study non-dual yogic philosophy and to meet and follow her guru, Swami Muktananda. Sally shares the tantric understanding of the true meaning of Shakti and where to find the Goddess, why there is more to meditation than mind-hacking, and how patriarchy is in fact a function of the goddess. They discuss what discovering the divine feminine means for men in modern practice.

"Learning to walk humbly on the cusp of what needs to be done and what we are capable and qualified to do is a huge thing that every one of us needs to find a way to navigate." ~ Sally Kempton

Zerbanoo Gifford on Politics, Beauty and Karma - E6 Dec 14, 2017

Show notes

How to engage moral courage to carry torches of justice, beauty and possibility where shadows loom.

In this episode entitled Riding Chariots into Battle and Building Paradise Gardens, Amisha is in conversation with author and humanitarian Zerbanoo Gifford - founder of the Asha centre for young people in the Forest of Dean, former politician, award-winning activist for social justice, cosmic networker, and total badass force for change. Zerbanoo shares some of the most shocking and inspiring moments from her decades of pioneering work as a woman of colour in British politics - opening doors for others in the political arena and going into battle spurred on by the moral courage to stand up to hatred and prejudice. She speaks of the absolute importance of beauty and how we all deserve to experience a paradise garden on earth, as well as the importance of keeping a little madness in the mix and the near-death experience that changed the course of her life completely. "We can transform the world by transforming ourselves and being there as an example to other people so they can see that everything is possible." Zerbanoo Gifford

Bruce Parry on Tribes, Connection and Plant Medicine - E5 Dec 07, 2017

Show notes

A journey through loss, discovery, and cultivation of our connection to something bigger.

In this episode entitled Finding Our Way Home to the Collective, Amisha meets explorer, documentary filmmaker, and author Bruce Parry.Bruce shares with Amisha some deeply personal stories about finding the place where neuroscience meets indigenous ritual medicines, the chance encounters that changed his life - including with the Kogi, whose intercontinental "interventions" turned him celibate, his theory on how the dawn of agriculture killed meditation and the breakdowns and breakthroughs of a seven-year journey to produce his new film Tawai. From his early days "deep in the machine" as an institutionalised, privately educated military career-man to his recent expeditions into the mystical depths of Amazonian tribal medicine, Bruce tracks the unfolding of his present worldview and the crises and revelations that brought him to it."The Penan are anarchists. They have no leader no law, no shamans no chiefs... They are allegedly the most peaceful people on the planet." ~Bruce Parry

Show notes

Facing the fundamental teachings of our deepest drivers and greatest taboos and the social dynamics they engender.

In this episode entitled Life as a Disobedient Woman, Amisha sits down with activist, artist, provocateur, and entrepreneur Sam Roddick, founder of lingerie brand and sex shop Coco De Mer, and daughter of Body Shop founder Anita Roddick. Sam shares her experience of the formative family dynamics that cultivate activism and their shared passion for delivering education through entrepreneurship.

We explore the ancient stories, modern manifestations, and internal expanses of tantra and yogic practice.

In this episode entitled Entering the Subtle Depths of Tantrik Yoga, Amisha gets together with Christopher Hareesh Wallis, a scholar and practitioner of the yoga tradition and author of two books on the classical Tantra tradition.

Hareesh - whose name meaning "remover of sorrows" was given to him as an "invitation to grow into" by the guru of his mother when he was just 9 years old - joins Amisha in the discussion of what it truly means to be a yogi, what happens when we become a focal point of unified consciousness on public transport, the non-difference between the body, mind and bodymind, how you can tell if a person is doing tantra and what the yoga tradition teaches us about politics.
