“We live in a world of apparent contradictions that are meant to dance with each other, and not to be polarised. It certainly seems like a time for leaving binaries behind.” Nina Simons

In this season’s final episode Nina Simons, award-winning social entrepreneur, visionary thinker and co-founder of Bioneers speaks with Amisha, founder and host of ‘all that we are’, this podcast & global community platform exploring the weave between activism, the sacred, creativity & regeneration.

She creates brave, tender and inclusive spaces and has hosted many retreats. workshops and rituals around the world. Her book “Intuition” published by DK Books is out now.

Amisha and Nina talk about the importance of transforming cultures of oppression by creating thriving and non-judgemental communities rooted in reciprocity, adaptability and creativity. Amisha reveals the deeper layers and challenges of what it takes to flourish the ‘all that we are’ podcast and community whilst wholeheartedly leaning into these values. She shares a compelling invitation to join ‘all that we are’ membership; a way for each one of us to be proactive in the cultural transformations we crave and so urgently need across the globe.

They explore how new forms of leadership are cultivating our sense of agency, our intuition and the diversity of our personal gifts laying the foundations for entirely new economies and networks; hybrids that are guided by philosophies and sciences of indigenous cultures, nature’s wisdom and traditional Western systems. We learn that listening to our gifts and tending to our vulnerabilities, creativity, self-care and trusting our intuition is a way to engage with persistent crisis and with our communities that let’s us embrace all that we are.

“There’s that beautiful opportunity to get to know other parts of ourselves. When we open into that space, we find some real power. Something really happens when we bring all of those parts of ourselves and really embody more of our wholeness.” ~Amisha Ghadiali
