Through my 20 years of work as an educator, non-profit leader, poet, entrepreneur, documentary filmmaker, author, and yogi, I have been obsessed with how we can create a world free of hatred, violence, and war. With this podcast, I continue that journey as I sit with some of the most inspiring change makers in the world and learn how they are alleviating human suffering and healing the planet. We’ll come to know that another world is not only possible, but that it is already here. Together we’ll dance between the nuances of mysticism, science, spirituality, social justice, healing, arts, philosophy, ancient wisdom, and futurism. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We'll learn. We’ll bravely explore how to create a more just, peaceful, and joyful world... together.

    EP 45 - Tending the Heart Fire: Ancient Intelligence, Collective Rhythm, and the Dance of Life with Shiva Rea

    The first technology that transformed humanity wasn't the wheel. It was fire. For thousands of years we gathered around it—not simply for warmth, but for story, ceremony, silence, and belonging. Perhaps the question of our time isn't how intelligent our machines become, but whether we remember the ancient intelligence that first gathered us around the flame. In our latest episode, Hawah sits down with world-renowned yoga teacher, author, and sacred activist Shiva Rea to explore what it means to tend the "heart fire"—the inner source of vitality, compassion, creativity, and resilience that keeps us fully alive even in uncertain times. Drawing from decades of study in yoga, tantra, dance, somatics, indigenous traditions, Ayurveda, movement, and pilgrimage across India, Africa, and beyond, Shiva invites us into a radically different way of understanding healing. Rather than searching for answers outside ourselves, she reminds us that wisdom has always lived within the body—in breath, rhythm, ritual, and our relationship with one another. Together, Hawah and Shiva explore the science of the heart's electromagnetic field, why the heart may be leading the brain more than we realize, the forgotten role of fire as humanity's first meditation teacher, and how movement, music, drumming, dance, and ceremony have helped cultures around the world metabolize grief, restore belonging, and remember their humanity. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with the pulse of life, and rediscover the ancient practices that help us move from fragmentation toward wholeness.

    EP 44- The Power of Collective Imagination: Exploring Shadow Work and Evolutionary Love with Sonya Renee Taylor

    What if the world outside of us is a mirror of what we have collectively imagined, denied, and disowned? And, what if the figures and systems we condemn are reflections of the shadow parts of ourselves? In this episode, our host Hawah Kasat sits down with Sonya Renee Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of The Body Is Not an Apology, poet, activist, teacher, and visionary voice in radical self-love and collective liberation, for her second appearance on Everlutionary. Their first conversation explored home, belonging, Israel and Palestine, possessiveness, ego, and radical love. This time, they return to the thread they left open: POWER. This episode is not just about imagination as fantasy. It is about imagination as power. From Elon Musk and extreme wealth to the stories we tell about scarcity, separation, and who deserves what, Sonya and Hawah ask what we are unconsciously creating together and what it would take to create something else. What We Explore: - The difference between surrendering by choice and surrendering by collapse - Evolutionary love as the force reconciling life back to wholeness - The role of free will in how we participate in evolution - Why power lives in what we are able to imagine - How collective imagination shapes the people, systems, and realities we live in - Is Elon Musk a manifestation of collective desire and disowned shadow? - The difference between power over and power with - What it means to become intimate with complicity - How shadow work invites us to love the parts of ourselves we reject in others This episode is a reminder that imagination is not passive. It is creative, collective, and alive. If we are powerful enough to manifest the systems and figures we fear, perhaps we are also powerful enough to imagine something more whole.

    EP 43 - Fierce Vulnerability: Healing Political Polarization Through Nonviolence with Kazu Haga

    What if almost everything we've been taught about peace is wrong? What if the greatest threat to our future isn't political polarization—but the trauma beneath it? In a world increasingly defined by outrage, division, and "us versus them" thinking, peace can feel naïve. But what if we've misunderstood peace all along? In this conversation, Hawah sits down with peacebuilder, author, and nonviolence trainer Kazu Haga to explore why violence is more than war or physical harm—and why healing our collective trauma may be one of the most important forms of activism available to us. Drawing from the legacies of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Buddhist philosophy, and decades of organizing for social justice, Kazu offers a radically different vision of nonviolence: not passive resistance, but an active practice of remembering that we belong to one another. Together, Hawah and Kazu explore what it means to move beyond binary thinking, why justice requires more than simply ending conflict, and how fierce vulnerability can transform the way we engage with our families, communities, political opponents, and ourselves. This conversation also ventures into one of the most inspiring parts of Kazu's work: his practice of the gift economy. By publicly sharing his family's finances and inviting people to give according to relationship rather than obligation, Kazu offers a living experiment in building communities rooted in trust and reciprocity, while directly challenging the engine of capitalism. Whether you're exhausted by political division, grieving fractured relationships, working for justice, or simply searching for a more hopeful way to be human, this episode offers something increasingly rare: Not easy answers—but a different way to see.

    EP 42 - No One Heals Alone: What a Broken Collarbone Taught Me About Collective Healing

    What happens when an injury becomes a teacher? After a six-month hiatus from the podcast, Hawah returns with a deeply personal reflection on healing, shame, grief, and our profound interdependence with one another. What began as a seemingly ordinary day in the ocean turned into a serious accident, months of hidden pain, and the discovery of a fractured collarbone that had been missed on initial X-rays. But this episode is not really about a broken bone. It is about the stories we tell ourselves when we are hurting. It is about isolation, self-reliance, vulnerability, and the ways many of us try to carry our burdens alone. Drawing from his own healing journey, Hawah explores the relationship between individual healing and collective healing, asking what becomes possible when we stop pretending that our suffering is private. Why do so many of us hide our pain? What happens when grief has nowhere to go? And what would it mean to build a culture that knows how to metabolize harm without reproducing it? Along the way, he reflects on wellness culture, nervous system regulation, trauma, violence, community, and the myth of separation that lies at the heart of so many of our individual and societal wounds.

    EP 41 - Let Go and Let Grow: Breaking Patterns, Resting on Purpose, and a New Year Reset!

    This is the season of resolutions: big declarations, bold promises, and the familiar hope that this year will finally be different. But what if real change doesn’t come from resolutions at all? What if it comes from the habits we practice quietly, imperfectly, every single day? In this solo episode, Hawah Kasat explores what happens when we pause instead of push, interrupt patterns instead of clinging to them, and choose habits over promises. Recorded from Roots to Sky Sanctuary in the Appalachian Mountains, this episode weaves together personal transition, leadership, and the practice of revolutionary rest. Hawah shares why he’s taking a temporary pause from the podcast, how rest challenges a culture addicted to urgency, and why slowing down can create clarity, alignment, and joy. The episode closes with a brief guided breathing practice; an invitation to land in the present moment and step into the new year with intention, ease, and breath.

    EP 40 - American Detox: The Special Ingredient to Every Wellness Practice with Kerri Kelly

    What happens when the wellness industry becomes the very thing we need to detox from? Why are some people more comfortable buying crystals than confronting capitalism? What if your yoga practice, your organic groceries, and your mindfulness apps aren’t actually making the world more just? In this episode, host Hawah Kasat sits down with Kerri Kelly, wellness activist and author of American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal. The conversation tackles the deep-rooted inequities within the wellness industry, examining how concepts like capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy infiltrate our self-care practices. Kerri shares her personal journey from losing her stepfather on 9/11 to realizing that wellness culture often perpetuates the very systems it aims to heal. Together, they explore collective care, the limits of individual wellness, and the need for systemic change to achieve true healing. This episode offers a profound perspective on how real wellness goes beyond personal optimization and moves toward collective liberation.

    EP 39 - No Kings: Why Billionaires Shouldn’t Exist with Hawah Kasat

    They told us that wanting free buses and healthcare was an apocalypse. They told us that fairness was communism. What if we stopped believing them? Healing our broken world means tearing down the stories designed to keep us small and scared. It means demanding an economy that serves people, not billionaires, and recognizing that our personal liberation is tied to collective justice. In this fiery solo episode of Everlutionary, Hawah Kasat draws inspiration from Zoran Mamdani’s unapologetic victory to unpack the billion-dollar propaganda machine that makes common sense seem radical. He breaks down how the ultra-rich hoard power, why they flinch at the word "taxes," and how we can dismantle the invisible kings of our time. This is a call to embrace the bittersweet work of building a world where billionaires are obsolete because our evolution as a species depends on it.

    We’re all carrying stories, wounds, and moments that have shaped us, and the question becomes, what does it truly take to heal them?

In the latest episode of Everlutionary, Hawah Kasat sits down with therapist, somatics teacher, and bestselling author, Prentis Hemphill to explore what healing means, why it’s inseparable from justice, and how the work of personal repair can ripple outward into collective transformation.
