About this interview: How can we become catalysts for change?

“Whatever you already know, whatever small or massive awakenings have touched you in your life, don’t go back to sleep.” Ebyän Zanini

In this special episode Amisha Tala Oak gathers with Ebyän Zanini, Jimena Paratcha, Darren Le Baron and Nathaniel Dunn during Noisily Festival to share insights and ideas around the theme ‘We Are Change’.

We explore

:: duality as a form of balance for change

:: interconnectedness and unity with each other and the more-than-human-world

:: rites of passages

:: plant allies and the power of psychedelics

:: forming intentions for change

“The creative element and processes that we have, that’s where some of us have our power. It’s really important to tap into your power, your position, the role that you play in moving and shifting change.” Darren Le Baron

She is the founder of Mother Tongue and teaches at the intersection of decolonisation, eco-sensuality, and feminine mysticism. Ebyän’s offerings are deeply inspired by the animist spirituality of her Nubian ancestral heritage, weaving us closer to the enchantment that is available in all Life. Mother Tongue has six pillars – AnimistSpirituality, Creative Empowerment, Feminine Revival, Decolonization, Ancestral Emergence and Ecosystem Consciousness. Ebyan shared her powerful live ritual art performance at the festival called “On War and Peace.”
