• TIMELESS // ‘How one year of heart-led living can transform lives‘ with Lucile Yaney - E231
    Jan 16 2025

    What if you followed your heart for one whole year? How would your life look in 2026?

    This week’s episode shows us what is possible.

    Our guest in this timeless episode is Lucile Yaney, a psychotherapist by training, high vibrational food and lifestyle specialist, and the visionary restaurateur behind the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga, California. Lucile shares her own journey, unfolding her path step by step, and reveals how it led her to a vision for a restaurant unlike anything; the Seventh Ray.

    Lucile recounts the origins of the Inn, a story that began more than 40 years ago with a chance encounter with what was once called the “last eyesore in Topanga.” Guided by her heart’s wisdom and a year-long commitment to trust its whispers, she found herself on a path filled with surprising twists and profound discoveries. From an unexpected lesson in the healing power of food with Hazel Parcell in Arizona to crossing paths with a lifelong spiritual guide, Lucile’s journey reflects the transformative power of saying yes to the unknown.

    This week’s timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 18 with Lucile Yaney – Food, Healing and Consciousness // Raising Vibrations and Starting Conversations With Food. You are so welcome to go and find this episode in the archives and listen in full.

    We hope this timeless episode brings a moment to give thanks to the earth and everything and everyone surrounding us. Our hearts are with her and everyone affected by the fires in LA and beyond.

  • TIMELESS // 'How to Reconnect in a Disconnected World' with Johann Hari - E229
    Dec 12 2024

    'How to Reconnect in a Disconnected World?' we ask ourselves in this new timeless episode.

    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.

    This week’s timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 47 – Johann Hari on Depression, Addiction and Connection entitled Lost Connections: Finding Others Instead of Ourselves. You are so welcome to go and find this episode in the archives and listen in full.

    We hope that this timeless offers you a new way of looking at your life and how you spend your time.

  • Amanda anandita Simon on Astrology, Sensitivity and Collective Shifts // Beckoned by the Stars - E228
    Dec 5 2024

    How can understanding astrology support us in riding these times?

    This episode brings forth a powerful way of hearing, feeling and seeing the art that astrology is. A deeply misunderstood sacred practice that Amanda is enormously passionate about. 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.



    Together we explore:

    :: 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

    :: What Pluto's recent transition from the Earth-based Capricorn to the Air-focused Aquarius signifies for us

    :: How to understand astrology as an art and sacred practice

    We hope that you enjoy this episode and that something here really lands for you.

  • TIMELESS // ‘How to Become a good Elder and Ancestor’ with Vanessa Andreotti - E227
    Nov 27 2024

    Drawing on her work as an educator, indigenous and land rights advocate and her mixed family history, Vanessa invites us to reflect on what it means to die well. How to become good elders and ancestors?

    “It ​cannot ​be ​just ​about ​us. ​It ​has ​to ​be ​about ​our ​responsibility ​to ​the ​time ​when ​we ​are ​no ​longer ​here. ​And ​it ​cannot ​be ​a ​choice ​either. ​It ​has ​to ​be ​something ​visceral.” Vanessa Andreotti


    This timeless wisdom teaches us about the ways in which we can be in service of the greater good. The times we are living in often make it difficult for elders to play their role and teach the younger generation about the mistakes and successes they have experienced.
    Vanessa sparks ideas around the multiple layers of time, aging and pain and opens up opportunities to interact differently with our elders and ancestors so we can let their stories be medicine for generations to come.

    This is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 156 with Vanessa Andreotti on Radical Tenderness, Eldership and Decolonisation // Embracing Our Pain. We hope that hearing this small piece will allow you to find new insights, embrace them and continue this practice of becoming a good elder and ancestor.

  • Jaiya John on Rest, Intimacy and Liberation // A Balm for the Tender Soul - E226
    Nov 21 2024

    What is the true cost of our numbness, and how can we alchemize it into deep, loving intimacy?

    This conversation with Dr. Jaiya John is a balm, for tender times, tender hearts - a remembrance of how to touch tenderly, inwardly and outwardly.

    Dr. Jaiya John, born as an orphan on the sacred lands of the Ancient Puebloans in New Mexico's high desert, walks the world as a freedom worker, poet, author, teacher, and speaker, revered across continents. In this tender episode, Amisha and Dr. Jaiya weave a story of human connection—layered with vulnerability, healing, and the soft light of hope. Together, they lean into our collective longing for liberation from oppression, the raw courage needed to meet grief and emotional pain, and a soul-deep inquiry into how technology shapes intimacy in a world that often feels so far apart.

    We hope this episode invites you into deeper layers of tenderness and presence.

  • TIMELESS //'How to Reimagine Power and Presence in Search of the Sacred' with Sophie Strand and Bayo Akomolafe
    Nov 14 2024

    In this TIMELESS episode we hear from Sophie Strand and Bayo Akomolafe. Together, we explore how the sacred is less about certainty and mastery and more about dwelling in the unknown, the disruptive, and the in-between. As we open ourselves to this journey, we consider how unlearning and openness might guide us toward a deeper, more grounded sense of the sacred—one that emerges in moments of humility, fragility, and genuine encounter.

    “And I was thinking that, at least in my own situated experience, my approach to the sacred would be to flip the paradigm and to ask, what if the sacred researches you?” Sophie Strand

    As a writer, Sophie focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially between beings, ideas, differences, and mythical gradients. Bayo is a poet, philosopher, psychologist, professor, and chief-curator of the Emergence Network. He curates this earth-wide project for the re-calibration of our ability to respond to civilisational crisis.

    We hope this TIMELESS episode invites you to pause and reflect on the sacred in new and unexpected ways.

  • Manda Scott on Thrutopia, Vision and Human Power // Writing A New Story - E224
    Nov 7 2024

    How do we emerge into a new future from here?

    In this week’s conversation with award-winning novelist, smallholder, contemporary shamanic trainer and host of the international chart-topping Accidental Gods podcast Manda Scott, we explore the edges of shaping the future of our wildest dreams.

    ‘The ​not ​knowing ​is ​what ​allows ​the ​space ​for ​the ​web ​of ​life ​to ​send ​the ​knowing ​in.’ and it is this not knowing that gives us room to dream, rise and change this system. ‘It's ​not ​predictable. ​If ​we ​can ​predict ​it, ​then ​it's ​not ​the ​new ​system, ​​but ​we ​can ​take ​ourselves ​​to ​the ​emergent ​edge ​of ​inter ​becoming, ​from ​which ​​emergence ​into ​that ​new ​system ​is ​hopefully ​more ​likely ​than ​the ​chaos ​and ​extinction.’

    We explore:

    :: Why the emergence into a new system can feel unpredictable but wonderful


    :: How to move from a trauma culture to an initiation culture


    :: How to dream without constraints


    :: What ​it ​looks ​like ​when ​8.5 ​billion ​people feel belonging, ​connection, agency ​and live ​a ​life ​filled ​with ​meaning


    :: How we as humans have the power to change and shape a new future


    :: Why visions come at unexpected times


    :: What ​happens ​when continually ​asking ​of ​the ​web ​of ​life, ​what ​do ​you ​want ​of ​me?


    :: How to move away from the head mind and settle into the heart mind


    :: How temporary shamanic practices help connect to the wonder and glory of the world


    :: How habits done consciously become rituals


    :: What the transformative journey of writing a book looks like


    :: How the process of death can be a potential window into a ​new ​system ​


    :: How ​to make ​governance ​​into ​something ​that ​is ​generative ​and ​collaborative again

    We hope this episode encourages you to explore deeper what invitations the web of life is making to you.
