How do we live the future we envision?

Amisha Tala Oak reflects on the beauty of vision as she marks over 15 years with All That We Are. She shares her journey of creating more than 250 conversations through the podcast, from politics to near-death awakenings, sustainable fashion to spirituality, and how this work continues to evolve. It's a story about resilience, vision, and staying open to possibility even when the world feels heavy.

Key Takeaways:

:: Intuition is the tender voice within where your truth lives.

:: We can hope for a more beautiful future while staying present with the realities of this moment.

:: Political activism and spiritual depth are not separate paths - they're woven together.

We are making this podcast to create community so that we may move together towards a more beautiful future. If there is something you have appreciated over the years, about how this podcast has shifted something in you, we would love to hear about it. Please send us a message or join one of our online meditations and events where we can connect.

We aspire to co-create with our listeners and community for many years to come.

This TIMELESS turns everything on it's head. What if the most educated amongst us are the most disconnected?

Here we lovingly dismantle factory schooling, recall village intelligence, and discuss a practical path into gift culture. Manish Jain, who walked out of Wall Street and Harvard, invites us to trade credentials for conscience, exams for experience, and scarcity for an experiment in trust.

We discuss education as being, not just knowing, starting with head, heart, hands, home. Manish speaks on gift culture, giving us the advice that when scarcity knocks, we up the gift, and ritualize generosity so trust compounds.

We invite you to bring home some of the ideas discussed in the episode such as running a treasure hunt by visiting 10 local people or places of skill, elders, makers, growers, repairers, musicians. Another idea is to host a Darya Dil exchange, where each person gifts a personally meaningful item with its story, and the receiver promises to pass it on within 3 months. And finally, we invite you to replace "resume" with a one page portfolio of lived projects, and publish it publicly.

We also recommend that you listen to the full Episode 39 here. And please do a treasure hunt where you are this week, you will be amazed by what you find!

What does it take to stay human, together, when everything asks us to harden?

In this episode, Amisha sits in tender conversation with the Emergent Justice Collective led by Lisa, Lily, and Val, three transformative justice practitioners, grief workers, and embodiment activists who are visioning a different way of being with justice in the movement towards collective liberation.

As we witness deepening crises around us, the impulse of so many of us can be to turn toward formal systems of power and to demand accountability through legal institutions. But Lisa, Lily, and Val offer us something more. They speak of justice stemming from love and the knowing of our interdependence and shared responsibility.

Our movements are extensions of ourselves, of our positionalities, our rage and grief, and the communities to which we belong. Liberation begins in the tender spaces between us, in orienting towards relationality even as systems of oppression demand otherwise.

We hope that this week's episode really speaks to something deep in your body, and a possibility of how we live fully with everything that is happening in our world.
