'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He is member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, with a long history in Indigenous activism as well as a master musician. He shares a lifechanging perspective on how we can understand the language of the earth and how she speaks and listens to us. We discover how learning to listen to earth leads us to true inner and outer peace.

"The ​earth ​is ​listening ​to ​us ​first and ​if ​we ​do ​not ​​understand ​how ​the ​earth ​listens ​to ​us, ​then ​we ​will ​have ​a difficulty ​listening ​to ​the ​earth." Tiokasin Ghosthorse

This week’s timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in E107 with Tiokasin Ghosthorse on Earth Languages, Consciousness and Indigenous Intelligence entitled Walking Earth With The Gifts Of The Stars . We hope that hearing just this small part will give you space to contemplate, integrate and embody what you hear.
