Whether you’re leading an organisation, team, or not, we’re all leading in many ways - in our lives, our loves and our work. Maybe, it’s the claiming of our role as stewards and leaders that is in many ways our step into being of service with integrity. Honouring the impact our very being-in-the-world has on our concentric circles of relationship. Christine is an executive coach, alchemist and advocate for regenerative leadership and culture. 

Both with a vision for a world where the words ‘love,’ ’soul,’ ‘money,’ ‘profit’ and ‘business’ are spoken often in the same sentence in leadership conversations, we explore the power of 'listening as midwifery,’ the courage to abandon outcomes, humility in leading amidst the unknown and familiarising ourselves with play as a way of courting the muse and building a relationship to disorder and unknowing. 

This one’s juicy, has many hidden nuggets and many moments of ‘pregnant silence.’ To leadership, love and living in ways that hold more of the whole.

When money is remembered as energy, we begin to relate to it with reverence, with choice. Joshua Ackman is the former Head of Co-Investment at River Capital and is an “impact” investor I admire for his intentionality and somewhat Tantric relationship to capital - a man who is known for speaking the words love, spirit and money all in the one sentence. In our conversation, we explore what an integrated approach to investing that includes the ‘irrational,’ emotional, and relational might look like. We also explore what opens up to us when we see money as energy flow, the fact that we are all ‘investors,’ and how aligning our values and our decisions might support the weaving of the world our hearts know is possible. 

Whether you consider yourself an investor or not just yet, we all are and this episode will support you in stepping into your investor of time, energy and money in a meaningful, values-aligned way!

Another queer brother from abroad, Day is internationally known for his work using Morning Altars to inspire thousands around the world to renew their relationship to nature, creativity and impermanence through ritual and the practice of Earth art. Diving into some of the threads of our cultural imagination keeping us at odds with our own wholeness, Day and I explore themes of impermanence, queering masculinity and non-binary ways of being in lived relationality with uncertainty and mystery. In a time exposing rigid patterns of being-together, we dance with the wisdom of queerness in illuminating what it might mean to navigate change and liminality with openness and curiousity.  

Join us for a playful exploration of how Earth Art, practices of impermanence and “queering" might support us in our restoration of wholeness.

In a world where it can seem we have lost touch with what it means to be together, to live, work, and grow in community, practices to remember and recondition our relational patterns seem crucial. Rich is a Co-Founder of Enspiral, The Hum, and a brilliant thinker and facilitator when it comes to re-thinking social systems, designing spaces for meaningful culture, and practical ways to re-build community from the ground up.  

Join us as we explore questions of building "micro-solidarity,” circles of practice, and emotional intimacy for “growing up together.” We touch on some of the intrapersonal threads that need to be acknowledged if we are to re-pattern our ways-of-being-together for community, as well as what we might learn from feminism and grassroots activist movements when it comes to community resiliency.  

This is a good’n - grab a tea and join us for a hope-giving conversation.

There is much that happens in teams, relationships, and our lives that words simply cannot touch. There is much that we experience in our lives that without alternative tools to touch, we remain distant to and fragmented by. Join me in this rich dialogue with Spencer Honeyman as we explore the necessity of rhythm, music, improv-theatre, and other creative practices to give voice to the transpersonal and invisible dimensions of leadership and culture. We explore the “subtle energy competency” within leadership as the ability to attune to the somatics and collective intelligence in a room.  

This one is most definitely for those who find themselves in leadership roles or simply fascinated by the art of facilitating spaces for collaborative and collective flourishing.

If we are come to live and lead in a way that truly nourishes life, allows for creativity to flourish, and mends our relationship with both place and people, integrating opposites and learning to live at the threshold of polarities is crucial. John Wolfstone and I embark on a wild journey here from an adolescent leadership to a more integrated, humble, and reverent leadership. Touching on many nuanced and subtle threads of what it means to embrace our brokenness, transition to adulthood, and exist at the threshold of binaries. 

We land on some exciting emerging conversations around ‘queering masculinity,’ diving into what queerness and non-binary means beyond an orientation, as a state of maturation. What would our world look and feel like with leaders who had the capacity to hold paradox gracefully, to welcome otherness?

Guiding our communities to greater coherence requires leaders less armed with strategies and techniques, but with the courage of the heart to navigate and move with the broader complexities of human experience. Rob is someone I’ve admired from afar for his nuanced and articulate understanding and insight into navigating paradox, participatory leadership and facilitating regenerative social spaces. 

In this conversation we explore the roots of inadequacy, the paradox of completeness and the foundations of integral leadership. It’s a wide-ranging conversation that includes many practical tools for integrating these perspectives into our everyday living and leading.

Join me for a 20-minute guided meditation and reflection on what can be carried forth with you into this next epoch in time, post-COVID19. What did you notice during this time that you might like to leave behind? What might serve you to bring forth? What is the quality or the essence of your being-in-the-world in this next chapter?

We'll take some time, sense into the discerning self and reflect with curiousity and compassion.

In this time we are asked to walk the "twin-trail,” to balance the necessity for action in the world, as well as take responsibility for that which our current climate is reflecting within ourselves. Jessica is the founder at MEISOU, a brand supporting people in embedding rituals of mindfulness and meaning into their everyday life. As a Brazilian women, global traveller and mindfulness facilitator in-training at UCLA, I’ve always admired her ability to honour her internal landscape and integrate both action and insight. 

In this spacious and tender conversation we explore how we might honour our privilege in this time, tending to the work we must do within ourselves whilst also taking wisdom-guided action. If you’re also sitting with questions surround how to show up in this time, what “sacred activism” means in this time and where to place your energy, this one might just offer some feathers for your tool-bag.

Acknowledging the fragility, tenderness and humility required in this time, Mac is someone I admire for his ability to form relationships across cultures and generations on order to bridge worlds. He has worked with Indigenous elders over many years and has incredible insight and experience in forming mutually-beneficial relationships so as to form genuine alliances rooted in reverence. I share this conversation in this time, as we explore what it means to be in relationship with who Mac’s guides name The Original Elder, Earth herself. 

We explore what it might take to form trusted alliances across generations, races and culture; to form mentor-relationships with elders in a reverent and honouring manner and to connect to the Original Elder as our meeting place in this time. From this place, how might we tend to systemic injustices, inequalities of all manners and to difference? 

Join us for a conversation that Mac might remark as an act of "lifting our eyes to the privilege of being alive with possibility."
