What can you do when things around and inside of you feel so overwhelming? Feel so daunting?

The enormity of the challenge often leaves us numb or hiding from what we really care about.

How to bridge this gap? Where do we start?

We start from inside.

🌱 Because the outer world is the reflection of our inner world.

Therefore, we start by paying attention to what is preventing us from acting on what we care about, to make the vision that we have in our heart happen! 

We look at what is preventing us from living in integrity with our deepest values, with care and love?

That’s what we will explore together in this episode.

And progressively, everything that we put out into the world, is the reflection of the care and the values that are integral to ourselves.

And, in my experience, as much as AI can help us write emails, the work of creating a beautiful future for all, can only be done by us. Individually, and collectively. And it’s a real honour.

So, I hope you will join us on this journey!

2 years ago I partnered with a food and farming consultancy firm, EFFP, to co-develop a program that would support farmers to transition from industrial to regenerative agriculture. 

A 100 questions later, (as I didn’t know much about the topic), something really struck me!

I could clearly see that how we have been taught, in the western way, to cultivate the land at an industrial scale, have the same foundations that how we are being taught to cultivate our minds and our lives. With very similar strategies too… one of them being monoculture over diversity.

Making extremely clear to me why we are currently facing a crisis of the individual and the crisis of the collective and societal.

In this provocative episode, I explore and lean on the analogy of industrial farming, and its current evolution towards regenerative agriculture to shine the light on invisible societal norms that are currently depleting our lands and ourselves. 

Luckily, as agriculture is evolving towards a life-giving way of treating our land and soil, there is a lot we can learn to do the same for ourselves. 

This episode if purposefully provocative and I'd love to hear what came up for you as you listened to it! 🙂

In today’s episode, we are hanging out with an underdog: Vulnerability!

For long, Vulnerability has been shamed and hidden, but that has been and is changing.

In a world where our challenges, big or small, require us to think drastically differently to before - I am exploring what could be the potential of Vulnerability in creating the Future we would like our children to live in.

Asking some key questions for us individually and collectively, such as:

Can there be real trust in relationships without vulnerability? 

Can there be innovative and bold transformations without vulnerability? 

Can challenging collaborations last without vulnerability?

Could we look at vulnerability as a key nutrient for a healthy society? and what would that change?

And here is the link to the podcast episode of your Undivided Attention that I refer to at the end.

What if each Change occurring in and around our lives had a purpose of their own?

A mind of their own?

With their individual patterns of behaviours? 

And that Changes choose us!

What does that actually mean?

How can we then take Changes in our stride, instead of feeling at their effect…?

That’s are some of the questions and concept we are exploring on this week’s mad podcast !

“Through Art, we are being less guided by our mental voices and more by our inner senses.” (Alix Wheeler)

What if creativity could be more than an atrophied muscle for us? Instead it could be an amazing doorway to creating a different future!

How can practicing a form of Art, in our daily lives, become a wonderful medium for seeing beyond the set structures we are trying to evolve? - now AND for our future?

In this episode I am sharing an experience I had as a participant of a fabulous Art event hosted by SEED 2065:

- Reflecting on the power of the artistic creative process (in comparison to a more coporate creative process) and the mindblowing results!

- As well as, the unsuspected benefits that #Art can have for us, for our family, our community and the wider systems we are contributing to.

I hope you will enjoy the prompts, the provocations and have fun with it!!

Let’s get Arty 🙂

In this 21st episode of the Futuring Lab, I wanted to develop a bit more on the event I have recently been to: ChangeNOW in Paris.

An event aimed at pulling together the people working on creating a better future for all. 

It’s the second year I have been to this event and I left again with such an expended perception of the world, a renewed energy and sense of community, that I wanted to share it with you!

In this episode I share and explore with examples, the three major shifts that I have noticed in this conference:

• The shift in narrative: The emerging future is more fun, more sexy, more resilient than the current (extractive) world we live in.

• The shift in Power narrative: from Power over to Power With.

• The shift in more traditional sectors (like finance): Their evolution is real and well, well considered on leading the way.

  
  

Too often these amazing people, solutions and shifts are too hard to find, and to acknowledge, so instead, I am bringing some of their wisdom to your ears.

I hope you enjoy this episode and leave as energised and with a renewed will to act, as I have! And please let me know your questions, thoughts or perceptions on either the event or my take on it. I’d love to connect! [email protected]

“What would our world look like if each one of us had a devotional practice?

Something that doesn’t make sense to your logical mind… but that your heart and soul keep on taking you back there!!”

This is the key question I explore in this episode.

By sharing wholeheartedly my own devotional practice with you, we explore the world beyond performing,

beyond controlling or conforming. And its highly underestimated benefits!

I also give you some ideas for where you can start yourself to uncover your own devotional practice, and go do it!!

I hope this episode inspires you to want to lean more into this amazing unrealised potential for your life.

We hear about the stories that have been written but not often about the stories in becoming.

In this 18th episode, Pete Russell (my special guest!!) and I will take you through many fascinating stories! 

Some that have been already written, 

- Like part of Pete’s journey as an entrepreneur, wavering through many storms to create incredible purpose-led organisations,

And some that are in becoming,

- Such as the story of our food, our food system and its relationship to technology. Past, present and possible Future!

- As well as the stories of a man embracing uncertainty with humility, openness and resilience. Turning chaos into novel solutions, and disconnection into alliances!

If you are someone curious about how to navigate (y)our current individual and societal challenges, you'll love this episode!

And if you are someone who is human :) ,who needs to eat and wants to keep eating delicious food for a long long time, you will love it even more!

What if this week we helped your Fire to burn brighter??

This is my offer for you, and this is what this episode is about.

Each of us have a beautiful Fire inside that is a source of aliveness, a source of adventure and a source of potential!

Unfortunately, it often “doesn't make logical sense” to follow it. So we don’t. Becoming less alive, and more homogenised.

But what if your Fire could get reignited and fired up!! What could your life feel like? What could our world feel like?

Let’s explore that together in this episode. 🔥
