What does it mean to winter - deeply, wisely, and together?

In this episode, we explore the idea of wintering in community - how we might not only survive the cold seasons of our lives, but move through them together.

The Wilder Kin are a collective of five women holding space for seasonal, regenerative ways of being together in nature. Together they created Wintering - a deep invitation to slow down, reflect, and reweave community through the wisdom of the dark months.

There's something powerful that happens when we slow down, not in isolation, but in connection. When we make room for rest, reflection, and the kind of honest tending that can only happen in darker times.

We talk about:

:: How important it is to support ourselves and each other - not just when things are easy, but when everything feels uncertain or chaotic

:: Personal winter stories and reflections about the warmth that can still be found in winter through shared meals, songs by candlelight, the quiet noticing of tiny shifts

:: What becomes possible when we winter together

:: How we can build our capacity to be with the endings - personal, collective, systemic

:: What it means to compost the old, to let things fall, and to trust in what's becoming

This is an invitation to be with the seasons and to remember that even in winter, you are not alone.

How are we shaped by the world around us and what is our role in shaping it?

Amisha is honored to walk with Alnoor Ladha in this transformative episode that blends the personal and political, the spiritual and systemic. Alnoor has spent years at the intersection of activism, mysticism, and storytelling - working to reimagine how we relate to power, care, and community.

In this episode we get into all kinds of things: taking real responsibility (like, the kind that doesn't burn you out), how our inner healing connects to outer systems, grounded spiritual practice as a form of resistance, what post-capitalism could actually feel like in the body, and how deprogramming scarcity can open us up to deeper connection and joy.

We talk about:

:: Power, entitlement, and victimhood - not as buzzwords, but as energies we carry and can transform :: Why separating the spiritual from the political just doesn't make sense anymore :: Living your values without needing to be perfect :: How systems like capitalism got made - and why we can unmake them :: What becomes possible when we choose compassion over competition, and care over control

This one's for anyone who feels the overwhelm of the world and still believes something else is possible. Alnoor offers a grounded, tender invitation to look at what's happening globally as a mirror of what's going on in our relationships, our bodies, and our everyday choices.

We hope this conversation lands in your chest, loosens some old stories, and opens up space for something more generous, more collective, and way more alive.

What if nervous system regulation has become a new form of spiritual bypass?

In these intense times, are we calming ourselves to cope or to avoid? In this episode, Amisha Tala Oak returns with a deeply honest and timely solo reflection, asking what presence, care, and connection really mean in an era of collapse, disinformation, and genocide.

Through story, poetry, spiritual insight, and AI, she explores how the language of "boundaries," "regulation," and "manifestation" can unintentionally isolate us, cutting us off from grief, from each other, and from the living world.

This episode is a call to move beyond hyper-individualism and bypass culture, to reclaim a slow, grounded rhythm that expands our capacity to feel, to stay, to co-regulate, and to be of service.

In this episode, Amisha speaks to:

:: The deep grief and quiet beauty of this moment in history

:: How "boundaries," "regulation," and "positivity" can sometimes cut us off from real connection

:: Why nervous systems, activism, and joy must be woven together

:: Dismantling the myths of New Age individualism

:: Remembering our capacity to care, co-regulate, and be part of a living world

:: And the power of a slow, unwavering rhythm, one that holds us through the long dark

This TIMELESS has actually never been shared on the podcast before. Our guest is Woman Stands Shining also known as Pat McCabe - one of the Diné Nation, and was adopted into the Lakota Spiritual Way of Life. Pat lives in rural New Mexico, but travels internationally to speak, pray, and share her journey with others. Descended from elders taken into residential boarding schools intended to strip her people of their culture, she is continually in the process of remembering and listening for the way Home, back to the true nature of being Human Being.

This little piece explores the sacred role of women in indigenous traditions and their deep connection to Mother Earth. With wisdom from the Lakota, Kogi, and other cultures, Pat describes how women are the backbone of families and communities. She shares with us the power of moon time, the importance of reintroducing Grandmother's Lodges and the need to restore balance between the masculine and feminine. This is a call for women to reclaim their spiritual authority—not through dominance, but by aligning with the natural laws and rythms of life.

In this TIMELESS we go beyond the billionaire's boys club and explore How To Dismantle Toxic Power Through True Respect for Women. We hope it moves you deeply.

Our guest is Johann Hari, the author of the New York Times bestseller: Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention, executive producer and Tedtalk speaker. His books have been translated into 40 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people including Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein.

​I ​don't ​think ​it's ​a ​coincidence ​that ​grief ​and ​depression ​have ​the ​same ​symptoms. I ​think ​what ​depression ​is, ​in ​part ​is ​grief ​for ​your ​own ​needs ​not ​being ​met. - Johann Hari

Hari invites us to reconsider what it truly means to find ourselves, not as isolated beings, but as interconnected individuals whose happiness and healing emerge from shared experiences and mutual support.

As a consulting astrologer, acutonics practitioner and artist, currently studying an MA in Art and Ecology at Goldsmiths University, Amanda anandita Simon brings the poetics of this practice out of the astrological arena into spaces where it can offer and be recognised for its contribution to join other acts of resistance. "To re-member a living relation with an ensouled cosmos, to restore and restore our dreaming heart and cultivate sensibility to subtlety - the intricacy and specificity present in each thread of our lived life." Amanda shares.

:: How to cultivate a bodily awareness that allows us to deeply touch and be touched by the world around us

:: What it means to return to the city after countryside life and how to prevent being overwhelmed by its intensity
