All That We Are

What does it truly mean to serve and where do we start?

In this episode entitled Serving with EmptyHands – Learning the Law of Love, Amisha meets musician and humanitarian Nimesh 'Nimo' Patel. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nimo received an Ivy League education, found fame as a rap star, and enjoyed a successful stint working on Wall Street. After the horror of 9/11, Nimo realised that despite his material success, he felt unhappy and unfulfilled. An unexpected phone call from a friend planted the first seed and later painful health challenges finally drew him to India where he began volunteering at the Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad. Together with a group of children from the local community he produced an album of songs. This first project marked the beginning of working closely with underprivileged children and their families to bring their voices to the world. Nimo shares with us some powerful lessons received from the children, their families, and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi during his time in India.

"I like the idea that we come empty handed and we go empty handed. It's like two moments of nothingness that we are living in between....Nothing is mine when I'm here, nothing is mine when I leave, so can I live more in a way that I am offering more of myself to the planet when I am here?" ~ Nimo Patel

How do we free ourselves from the controlling influence of multi-national corporations?

In this episode entitled Escaping the Jaws of Hungry Giants, Amisha meets author, filmmaker, and big-picture activist Helena Norberg-Hodge. Together they discuss the influence of multinational corporations in all areas of our lives, and what we can do as individuals to create systemic change. Helena's big-picture activism reveals the interdependent systems of corporate control and urbanisation that are behind our greatest challenges. She explains how the current epidemics of anxiety and depression, climate change, and plastic pollution are caused directly by the actions of multi-national corporations and how a shift to localism holds the antidote to what ails us.

"We are swimming in a sea shaped by corporate desires. They are not thinking beings they are structures shaped by blind reductionist thinking and ever larger scale and greater speed." ~ Helena Norberg-Hodge

Why and how do we create patterns of meaning out of the vast expanse of existence?

In this conversation, Jeremy and Amisha explore the world history of our separation from nature, the human instinct to bring meaning and pattern into life, and how we work with the emotions that arise from this, so we can create a flourishing, beautiful sustainable future.

"Optimism and pessimism are both cop outs, but hope is a state of mind that things can change. Whether we think they will or not there is that possibility." ~ Jeremy Lent In this episode entitled Humanity's Patterns of Meaning, Amisha sits down with author and integrator Jeremy Lent. Jeremy's recent book 'The Patterning Instinct' explores the way humans have made meaning from the cosmos from hunter-gatherer times to the present day. From psychedelic awakenings in Cambridge student squats, to fleeing Britain for California to "see something great", Jeremy followed a deep knowing that there was something much more to life than what he was experiencing. Jeremy's current research, writing, and teaching is driven by the desire to marry his intellectual understanding with what he feels in his body to be true. He seeks an integrated understanding of the rules that govern the cosmos, inside and outside of us.

What action can we take today to help save our oceans from plastic pollution?

"If you can work with nature, we can flourish together." ~ Jo Royle In this episode entitled Remembering The Ocean – An Urgent Call to Reconnect and Save our Seas, Amisha meets up with skipper, activist, and ocean campaigner Jo Royle. Jo's work with Common Seas is focused on reducing the threat from plastic pollution, working with industry leaders to eradicate single-use plastics and address the cultural and economic root causes of the problem.

Despite growing up landlocked and suffering a crippling autoimmune disease during her teens, Jo spent much of her childhood in a dinghy in Devon. After studying at university and making a determined recovery from illness, Jo set sail as a young adult to work at sea full time for over a decade, skippering a variety of vessels and leading projects across the globe. On her travels Jo saw first hand where our relationship to the seas is out of balance and this fuelled her determination to advocate for oceans and marine life. Jo shares with us some harrowing stories and heartbreaking statistics from ocean expeditions to the front lines of climate change. She offers straightforward solutions that we can all implement now and ways to become ocean activists in our daily lives. "Most important is for more and more of us to have good times on and by the water. The more you connect with nature, whether the sea or a forest the more you will learn about it and the more you want to protect it." ~ Jo Royle

How to bring people together for experiences that change lives.

In this episode entitled Fuelling Creative Fire to Inspire Culture Change, Amisha is in conversation with William Etundi, a curator and creator of "events that touch the world". From jubilant mass political protests to mind-expanding mansion parties, William's events blend social commentary, art and public spectacle. Together Amisha and William discuss their experiences of race, difference, place, belonging and embodying cultural bridges. William speaks about his experience growing up as a mixed race man with African heritage in both America, as well as his early childhood experiences of activism as the son of a politically engaged pastor in a proudly gay district. From taking days off school to attend protests as a child, William grew up and moved to New York to immerse himself in the community of activists and culture creators of the late 90s and early 2000s. He describes the energy and hope of young people reclaiming the streets and speaking truth to power, and the crushing disillusionment that followed the brutal police suppression of protests around the 2004 Republican convention in New York. Amisha and William share stories of entering inside the mainstream political and judicial system, getting burned by what they saw and experienced there and how this led them both to turn their energies towards the soft, small, interpersonal actions at the roots of society and the call of the creative fire inside. William Etundi's work has been featured in the pages of Vogue, i-D Magazine, Paper Magazine, and more, with the New York Times proclaiming him "an impresario of the underground." In 2012 he launched SeeMe, an international artist network that grew to over 1 million members. He is also the founder and creative director of You Are So Lucky, one of the most sought-after tickets in New York City.

"I think it is essential that when you feel that creative fire inside to be true to that. It doesn't mean it's going to save the world but it might save you and that could be just as important". William Etundi
