Welcome to 'all that we are' (formally the future is beautiful) with amisha ghadiali. On this show we explore the weave between activism, the sacred, creativity and regeneration. The spaces where our inner and outer worlds dance. From healing trauma to nature connection to new technologies to ancient wisdom - it’s time for us to move beyond silos and into an integrated way of being. Every one of us has ideas and personal experiences to share that can lead us to a more beautiful future. Despite the challenges we face as a global community or the pressures we meet in our daily lives, when we stop and dare to listen, to ask ourselves the big questions and to share what we are already doing and envisioning, we create the futures of our wildest dreams. And we begin to embody all that we are, all that we are becoming and all that is possible.

Richard Andrew Salony on Conscious Technology, Psychedelics And Prosperity - E175
How do we awaken and connect to the power of our authenticity to build prosperous and regenerative lives?
In this episode Amisha talks with Richard Andrew Salony, an entrepreneur and philanthropist with a visionary life path. From a monastic community, where he lived as a young man for seven years before transitioning to a global tech entrepreneur; his gift is a visionary ability to not only anticipate ground shaking paradigm shifts, but also to develop tangible commercial strategies that result in mass market adoption. Today he launches, finances and advises companies, movements, products and services that replace antiquated systems and will ultimately lead us to a sustainable future. He holds events and serves as a guest speaker, participant in think tanks, conferences, gatherings and Jeffersonian dinners focused on establishing a new narrative for a sustainable future.
Andrew shares his visionary journey from monk to organic food and later tech entrepreneur. He believes that three components are essential for us to cultivate a prosperous future; authenticity, empathy and a deeper connection with nature.
They talk about the promise of psychedelics and AI as a way of flourishing prosperous futures and addressing our global mental health crisis resulting from disconnected mainstream cultures. Andrew believes that widespread use of plant medicines will awaken us into a society rooted in collective care and empathy rebuilding our loss of connection and authenticity. They reveal that AI has the potential to become a conscious technology that can support us on this quest by transforming our society through creative tools and businesses that are of service in ways yet unimaginable. We learn that each person has the creative ability to access all they need to flourish prosperity at any given time by cultivating their gifts of magnetism.

SleepyEye on Earth Spirit Movement, The Divine Feminine and Colonialism - E174
How do we draw on sacred traditions and cultures to create a movement that builds our future?
In this episode Amisha speaks with SleepyEye an indigenous wisdom keeper. He shares healings and teachings of the Americas and of the yogic tradition in ceremonies, ancient songs and ways to connect to the elements. He has dedicated his life to the pursuit of finding healing ways of being within all Nations of the Americas; ways of life that would not only benefit his Sisseton-Wapheton Dakota and Tonawanda Seneca people, but ways that can benefit all of life. Learning to live with sacred ancient teachings that were passed down since the beginning of time in a modern day world has been very challenging, but SleepyEye has been able to merge teachings of his elders with world wide teachings as well.
SleepyEye shines a light on the earth spirit movement that is awakening consciousness in all human beings. He believes that by sharing the sacred teachings of native traditions and cultures we bring alive healing, reconnecting us with the spiritual essence of Mother nature and the divine feminine. He talks about the power of prayer, ceremony and the four elements; resourceful foundations that bring us into natural alignment and practice.
They speak about colonial legacies and the destruction of the teachings, traditions, ceremony and prayer of the Dakota people and beyond. They share their encounters with racism and white privilege, and how they have honed their gifts despite these challenges.
We learn that we must look towards the native people, indigenous wisdom keepers, the carriers of ancient ways that have survived evil and trauma and nonetheless are the living extensions of ancient sacred teachings. We must follow the smoke signals of change by teaming up to heal ourselves and our communities to make way for the ones coming behind us.

Lucian Tarnowski on Decentralisation, Applied Intuition and AI Technology - E171
How can we utilise human potential and new technologies to create a thriving civilisation in harmony with all life?
In this episode Amisha talks to Lucian Tarnowski, founding curator of United Planet & UP.Game, a time travelling immersive reality game and platform on a mission to seed the vision for a Gaian movement towards a civilisation in harmony with all life. For 10 years he was Founder & CEO of ‘Brave New’, which enabled Fortune 1000 clients to cooperate and collaborate around a shared purpose. Lucian has been honoured as a Young Global Leader (YGL) by the World Economic Forum. He has been an active attendee of Davos and other World Economic Forum meetings for 15 years and speaks to audiences around the world about communities and the convergence of talent, knowledge and capital and the impact on society.

Lucian takes us on a journey into his audacious mission of transforming our world into a thriving civilisation in harmony with all life through the power of a game. He shares how United Planet and UP.Game utilise AI technology to create an immersive reality that gamifies transformation by reverse engineering a thriving future. This decentralised system is an intelligence engine of social, cultural and spiritual technology that helps us reframe time and money, and create a culture rooted in visionary stories that celebrate positive narratives. It enables us to vision and place ourselves into the future we hope to thrive and walk our way from there to the present moment to bring it alive as an embodied collective experience.
Together they talk about intuition and how this embodied wisdom is a catalyst for profound change. We learn that if we were to collectively trust and act on our intuition and cultivate our childlike faith, we would unleash a process of propagating audacious and regenerative futures beyond our wildest imagination.

Diane Ghogomu on Afro Cosmology, Regeneration And Pleasure - E170
How can we flourish reciprocal and diverse ecosystems that honour our ancestral wisdom, joy and sovereignty?
In this episode Amisha talks to Diane Ghogomu, an Afro Cosmic ceremonialist, somatic sexuality educator and musician building and curating joy-centered ritual spaces applying her teachings as pleasure scholar. She nurtures regenerative social, economic and spiritual systems that call us into harmony with ourselves and nature. Diane is deeply initiated and devoted to multiple nature-based spiritual traditions in both Central Africa and South America. She is curator at Noma Collective and co-director of Cacao Love, a regenerative organic cacao company funding her non-profit ‘Afrocosmic’, which invests in the cultural and spiritual sovereignty of African and indigenous wisdom keepers and artists around the world.
Amisha and Diane speak about the sovereign regenerative community and retreat space Diane is co-creating in Watamu, Kenya. Rooted in collaboration with the local ecosystems the community embraces ancestral architecture, agroforestry, permaculture and the life-giving powers of spiritual and cultural traditions.
Diane shares experiences gathered during her life’s journey across different cultures in search of embodying her highest purpose :: joy and pleasure. She reveals her calling led her to live in the mountains of Argentina, Osho communes in Brazil, to sit with plant medicines, such as Ayahuasca in South America, to multiple initiations and experiences with Iboga in the Bwiti tradition in Gabon, and time studying Afro Cosmic Spiritual traditions with the Baka people in Cameroun. They share that understanding our cosmology and anchoring ourselves into sovereign communities is the antidote to destructive monocultures that have stripped us bare of our fertile relationships with the land and the cosmos.
We learn that cultivating our erotic powers of pleasure and joy causes revolutionary ripples that animates cosmology and reciprocity. It is a way of bringing us into synergies with ancestral technologies and wisdoms that can unify our communities in cultural, spiritual and economic sovereignty ultimately transforming destructive systems of colonial legacies.
