TIMELESS // 'How to Work With Dreams as a Daily Language' with Toko-pa Turner - E247 Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

What if our dreams were not just fragments of the night, but guiding voices for our lives and communities? Toko-pa Turner, Canadian author and internationally celebrated dreamworker, is the award-winning author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home and The Dreaming Way: Courting the Wisdom of Dreams.

In this TIMELESS, she reminds us that dreaming is a language of the soul, one that reconnects us to belonging, to the earth and to each other.

In How to Work With Dreams as a Daily Language, we explore how exile and belonging are intertwined, how grief holds essential medicine, and how dreams reveal the hidden threads of our shared psychic ecosystem.

We hope that hearing just this small part will give you space to contemplate, integrate and embody what is shared here and we highly recommend you to revisit the whole conversation.

Through song, poetry and shared wisdom, this circle brings together five incredible women from diverse backgrounds: Zena Rouse Winterbottom, Jude جودْ, Jessica Epperson-Lusty, Jimena Paratcha and Nikita Llerena.

TIMELESS // 'How to Stop Measuring Your Worth' with Sonya Renee Taylor - E242 Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

In this timeless, we explore the "ladder" - the system of hierarchies that tells us which bodies are worthy and which are not. 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.

In this conversation, Bryony Greenhill shares a vision for repairing our communities - through land, song and the everyday acts that weave us back together.

TIMELESS // "How to Walk Through the World Without Fear" with Satish Kumar - E241 Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

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 Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

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.

Breaking Convention // Psychedelics and The Rise of The Future Human with Rose Cartwright, Moudou Baqui, Iyad El-Baghdadi, Shannon Dames, Dr Simon Ruffel and Akua Ofosuhene - E238 Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

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.
