    Belonging in the Age of Loneliness: Ten Ways to Remember Your Humanity - E256

    How do we weave more beauty, purpose, and belonging into our days? This question sits at the heart of this closing episode of this series. A gentle inquiry for anyone feeling the speed of modern life, the subtle ache of disconnection, or simply the desire to live more fully.  Through personal stories from India and home, grounded research on longevity and connection, and ancient Indian wisdom from Yoga and Ayurveda, she explores what truly sustains us, the simple human threads we've carried for thousands of years. Together we look at what actually helps us thrive: relationships as the strongest predictor of health and happiness the deep physical impact of isolation (Harvard + Holt-Lunstad's research) the shared traits of long-living communities across the world the way nature lowers stress and restores vitality how meditating together synchronises our physiology the role of purpose in extending life and the ancient languages of rhythm, breath, presence, and intention Amisha weaves these with teachings on Prana (life force), Dinacharya (daily rhythm), the five elements, and the deeper meaning of Dharma, offering ten simple, human principles for living a beautiful and connected life. This episode is a reminder.  A way of returning to what we already know. A soft invitation to belong again.  The show notes and details of all mentioned courses and events is here at www.allthatweare.org (make sure you are on the newsletter for all the updates!)

    TIMELESS // 'How to Keep Your Imagination Alive' with Jason Bayani - E255

    What happens to our imagination when life feels fast, noisy, or overwhelming? In this TIMELESS edition, poet and artist Jason Bayani offers a powerful reminder that imagination is not a luxury but an essential part of how we stay human. He speaks about disappearing as a form of self-respect, the war against silence, and what it means to protect the inner spaces where ideas and intuition are born. This episode is for anyone feeling overstimulated, tired of performing, or longing to reconnect with your creativity. Listen if you want to explore: - how to stay creative when everything feels fast - why imagination needs quiet - the art of disappearing - the pressure to produce and stay "relevant" - protecting your creative void - intuition as resistance If you need a reminder that your imagination is still alive and worth protecting, this is for you. We highly recommend you to listen to the full episode as well, tune in  here. And we turned 8 years last week and we would love to gift you each a free meditation session!

    The Future is Still Beautiful: 15 Years of Visioning What's Possible - E254

    How do we live the future we envision? Amisha Tala Oak reflects on the beauty of vision as she marks over 15 years with All That We Are. She shares her journey of creating more than 250 conversations through the podcast, from politics to near-death awakenings, sustainable fashion to spirituality, and how this work continues to evolve. It's a story about resilience, vision, and staying open to possibility even when the world feels heavy. Key Takeaways: :: Intuition is the tender voice within where your truth lives. :: We can hope for a more beautiful future while staying present with the realities of this moment. :: Political activism and spiritual depth are not separate paths - they're woven together. We are making this podcast to create community so that we may move together towards a more beautiful future. If there is something you have appreciated over the years, about how this podcast has shifted something in you, we would love to hear about it. Please send us a message or join one of our online meditations and events where we can connect.  We aspire to co-create with our listeners and community for many years to come.

    TIMELESS // 'How Do We Unlearn Our Conditioning' with Manish Jain - E253

    This TIMELESS turns everything on it's head. What if the most educated amongst us are the most disconnected?  Here we lovingly dismantle factory schooling, recall village intelligence, and discuss a practical path into gift culture. Manish Jain (co-founder of the UnSchooling movement) who walked out of Wall Street and Harvard, invites us to trade credentials for conscience, exams for experience, and scarcity for an experiment in trust. We discuss education as being, not just knowing, starting with head, heart, hands, home. Manish speaks on gift culture, giving us the advice that when scarcity knocks, we up the gift, and ritualize generosity so trust compounds. We invite you to bring home some of the ideas discussed in the episode such as running a treasure hunt by visiting 10 local people or places of skill, elders, makers, growers, repairers, musicians. Another idea is to host a Darya Dil exchange, where each person gifts a personally meaningful item with its story, and the receiver promises to pass it on within 3 months. And finally, we invite you to replace "resume" with a one page portfolio of lived projects, and publish it publicly. We also recommend that you listen to the full Episode 39 here. And please do a treasure hunt where you are this week, you will be amazed by what you find!  Join us for The Rhythm: live meditation sessions twice a week with our community - no recordings to catch up on, just show up and breathe together.

    The Radical Act of Staying Soft // Grief as a Portal of Possibility with the Emergent Justice Collective - E252

    What does it take to stay human, together, when everything asks us to harden?  In this episode, Amisha sits in tender conversation with the Emergent Justice Collective led by Lisa, Lily, and Val, three transformative justice practitioners, grief workers, and embodiment activists who are visioning a different way of being with justice in the movement towards collective liberation.  As we witness deepening crises around us, the impulse of so many of us can be to turn toward formal systems of power and to demand accountability through legal institutions. But Lisa, Lily, and Val offer us something more. They speak of justice stemming from love and the knowing of our interdependence and shared responsibility. Our movements are extensions of ourselves, of our positionalities, our rage and grief, and the communities to which we belong. Liberation begins in the tender spaces between us, in orienting towards relationality even as systems of oppression demand otherwise.  We hope that this week's episode really speaks to something deep in your body, and a possibility of how we live fully with everything that is happening in our world.  Join us in The Rhythm: live meditation sessions twice a week with our community - no recordings to catch up on, just show up and breathe together.

    TIMELESS // How to Find the Leader Within You with Mac Macartney - E251

    Our world doesn't need more leaders chasing power - it needs people rooted in what they love. This TIMELESS with Mac Macartney calls us back to integrity, to humility, to the sacred responsibility of shaping a future that serves all life. Mac Macartney brings us into a fresh understanding of leadership - one that is relational and begins with listening across differences. True leadership, as he conveys, is the quiet confidence that comes from following what matters most, not from needing to be followed. It is not something to postpone until we are fully formed; it is the art of showing up - imperfect and evolving.  Through his stories, we are invited to lead with courage and care - to recognize our innate gifts, take responsibility for what we love, and stand for what is sacred and worth protecting. The conversation touches on how rarely we ask these questions of our young, even though discovering what is truly sacred may be the most vital education of all. If you've ever doubted your place as a leader, this one's for you. We hope that this inspires you to live from that place in this world of who you truly are.  We recommend that you go and listen later to the whole of E61 here.

    Each Life Sacred // The Power of Art, Music, and Hope with Anouska Beckwith, Charlotte Mabon and friends - E250 (feat. Ayla Schafer, Johnny Flynn, Olivia Fern and more)

    If your heart has been broken open by what's unfolding in Gaza, you are not alone. This episode is a place to bring that ache; a collective tapestry of grief, courage and the power of art to keep our humanity alive. Each Life Sacred was born from the choice of not looking away, from witnessing the unimaginable suffering of children in Palestine and feeling the weight of helplessness that so many of us have carried. Out of that grief, something luminous emerged - a call to create, to gather, to weave art and action into one.  Holding the creative vision of this offering are artist Anouska Beckwith and singer-songwriter Charlotte Mabon, who have brought together twenty-two musicians and six artisans to create an album and fundraiser that turns sorrow into service and beauty into a bridge. In this conversation, we sit with their stories and with the voices of many of the contributing artists: Ayla Schafer, Kieran King (War Child), Taz Babiker, Matthew Barley, Naomi Greene, Johnny Flynn, Nick Barbachano, Olivia Fern, Ya'Acov Darling Khan, Anika Nixdorf, Lauren Noa (Little Whale), Petra Palumbo, as well as Leor and Souli from Ripples Collective each sharing how this project became a vessel for tenderness, courage, and collective care. May this episode remind you that each life is sacred and that our shared humanity is something we can practice, together, every day.  Links: 100% of the proceeds of the crowdfunder will go to War Child whose teams are in Gaza now creating safe spaces for children to play, learn, and access psychological support. Donate here.  The Rhythmn offers gentle, consistent anchoring for your nervous system, your soul, and your sacred activism. For live meditation sessions - join here.

    TIMELESS // 'How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely' with Almunis Alejandra Ortiz - E249

    We often carry the story "I can't sing" or "That's not my voice", a belief rooted in comparison, in safety, in self-protection. We excuse our expression by saying it's for others: "If I sing well, they'll love me."  In this week's TIMELESS, Alumnus Alejandra Ortis speaks of the voice as a channel - a conduit for the vibrant force that already dances through us. In this episode, we are invited to shift the gaze: the voice is not you pushing forth, but life moving through you. In  How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely, we disentangle from the hidden contracts of love and validation, and rest in the truth that  you are love. The voice is simply an expression of that. We speak about lineage, safety, and how many voices - especially those of women - were muted through ancestral memory. May this conversation be a place of permission to let sound move, to let truth sing, to remember the electric current you are. Join The Rhythm with live practice sessions every Monday and Thursday here. For links and more, visit  https://allthatweare.org/
