How do I live my life as a beautiful leader?

In this special solo episode entitled The Beauty And Power Of These Times, our host Amisha invites us into a deeper understanding of beautiful leadership. Amisha is the visionary of ‘all that we are’ this globally acclaimed podcast that weaves together activism, the sacred, creativity and regeneration. She has a gift of bringing people into connection with themselves, each other and the Earth. She has hosted many retreats, workshops, programmes and rituals around the world creating brave, tender and inclusive spaces.

Amisha shares a flow of insight into her ‘Beautiful Leadership’ work and the deeper layers that make us beautiful leaders. She talks about the meaning of beautiful leadership and the different aspects we can cultivate; beauty, worth, embodiment, nature connection, creativity and deep listening. She believes that we can all understand ourselves as beautiful leaders by accessing the intelligence that lies within us and that exists around us, our intuitive and collective wisdom, that of modern & ancient sciences, and the more than human world.

Amisha reveals that deep listening is a powerful pathway that opens up connection to the more than human world; spaces where we can walk the edges of worlds and realities, where our creativity and vision thrives, and where we may live aligned with our intuition as a form of guidance and wisdom. She shares that deep listening is a skill that allows us to decondition and to take action from a rooted place, so we may envision new ways of living in this world.

We hear about her latest ‘Beautiful Leadership retreat’ at 42 Acres and the insights it gifted. She reveals a new offering ‘Deep Listening’ and invitation to join our Membership, Soul Space and future retreats that will be circling around these themes.

In this episode entitled Circles Of Belonging, Amisha talks to Jewels Wingfield, a catalyst, educator and healer. She lives and works in the middle of the Ancient 200,000 acre Forest of Dean, UK. 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.

Amisha and Jewels talk about how we may dismantle walls of systemic oppression to gather all of our pieces to overcome isolation, root into community and restore our sense of belonging. We hear how Jewel creates a life with nature on the margins of dominant culture.

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.

Jamie Bristow on Climate Crisis, Mindfulness and System Change - E169

How do we grow our mindsets to meet the dissonance of our time with real action?

In this episode entitled Five Minutes After Midnight, Amisha talks to Jamie Bristow, recognised for his pioneering work on mindfulness in politics and public policy, and for his writing on inner development as a way of addressing a range of societal issues. Jamie was Director of the ‘Mindfulness Initiative’ policy institute and clerk to the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Mindfulness, where he led numerous initiatives to promote mindfulness in government and policy circles worldwide. Jamie was formerly Business Development Director for Headspace and has a background in psychology, climate change campaigning and advertising. His mentors have included Rob Burbea, Stephen Batchelor and Christina Feldman. Jamie is an Honorary Associate of Bangor University, where he is currently supervising a research project on ‘awareness-based social change’.

Amisha and Jamie speak about the impact mindfulness practices can have on flourishing societies that are equipped to hold the complexities and dissonance of our time. Jamie shares how the results of resourcing politicians with skills rooted in empathy and connection is filtering into public and political spheres showing promising green shoots of policy and system changes.

Together they explore how mindfulness can create vital mindset shifts needed to tackle the climate crisis. Jamie reveals what inner qualities we can cultivate, how we can bring them into mainstream culture to make them accessible as micro and macro acts of activism and to build movements of change that ripple across our global communities.

We learn that we can understand the climate crisis as a relationship crisis. Having courageous conversations about the challenges we are facing is a powerful way to grow our common ground and connection; a way to truth tell our way out of this status quo that’s lingering at five minutes past midnight.
