What if uncertainty is not something to conquer, but something we are entrusted with?

What if the very instability we fear is an initiation into deeper relationship – with Earth, with our children, with our own souls?

In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee is joined by her beloved brother Chévanni Davids – father, founder, listener, feeler, and steward of the Reimagined Learning Community in South Africa – for a profound and tender inquiry into what it means to live in a time of volatility with reverence rather than control. Together, they explore how modern education conditions us toward certainty, productivity and control, and how reimagining learning invites us back into presence, relational intelligence and embodied knowing.

About Our Guest

Chévanni Davids is a father, writer, facilitator, and educator exploring new pathways for learning, community, and human becoming. Rooted in Ubuntu and regenerative ways of knowing, his work invites individuals and families to move beyond rigid systems toward relational, self-directed, and soul-led education. Through gatherings, dialogues, and immersive learning spaces, he supports people in reconnecting with curiosity, care, and the living world, helping reimagine education as a practice of liberation.

He is the visionary behind the Reimagined Learning Community, based in South Africa – an unschooling network and educational space grounded in the philosophy that children are complete, autonomous human beings capable of directing their own lives. 

What We Explore in This Episode

In this expansive dialogue, Aubrey and Chévanni explore the concept of being “entrusted with uncertainty” as a sacred responsibility in our times of climate crisis, social upheaval, and collapsing systems. They speak to uncertainty not as chaos, but as the soul’s language – a portal into possibility, ecological empathy, and collective attunement.

Key Takeaways

• Uncertainty as initiation – moments of collapse, grief, and disruption as portals to deeper coherence.
• Unschooling as liberation – shifting from certainty-based curriculum to life-based learning.
• Witness to “withness” – moving beyond passive observation into embodied allyship and relational presence.
• Letting go as ritual – releasing material attachments as practice in non-clenched living.

For anyone parenting, teaching, grieving, navigating uncertainty, or longing to live beyond the spell of hyper-control, this episode offers a radical invitation: to soften the fist, to trust the breath, and to meet this moment not with panic, but with presence.

With Love & Gratitude,
Aubrey Morgan Yee
