“Much as I enjoy popular New Age commentary on love, I am often struck by the dangerous narcissism fostered by spiritual rhetoric that pays so much attention to individual self-improvement and so little to the practice of love within the context of community. Packaged as a commodity, spirituality becomes no different from an exercise program. While it may leave the consumer feeling better about his or her life, its power to enhance our communion with ourselves and others in a sustained way is inhibited.”

bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions 

How can we expand our spirituality and activism to serve the challenges of our time?

“There is an external wisdom and an internal wisdom that is trying to press the ignorance out of the way, trying to squash the separation into a dynamic experience of wholeness, within which we are in communion with all things.” Clare Dubois  

‘From Me To We’ is a gathering of conversations and somatic experiences around the most urgent themes we live amongst. It is an invitation to journey into the heart, to feel into new ways of learning and unlearning; to tend to the seeds of wisdom that live within us all; honouring the dance of our inner and outer worlds, the expansion and contraction of our incredible living ecosystem and how we may hold and serve in these complex times. Through speaker sessions, embodiment experiences and community space, we delve deep into how we may embrace polarity and the complexities of now, how we may dismantle new age spirituality, understand our privilege, and give rise to engaged activism. Essentially how we may embody a spirituality of wholeness, that is more expansive, inclusive, and honours our connection to the earth as we move from Me to We.

Each individual amplifies the energy of this collective journey, as we swirl, spiral & grow together with the collective intention of breaking down the divisive structures we live within. And so we wanted to share with you some of the wisdom from this course, as well as invite you to join us. The conversations shared reveal the complexities of the collective challenges we are facing during these times. They open new viewpoints and emphasise possibilities of how we may open our wings into all that we are.

This experience takes you on a deep journey through body, soul and mind with the six speaker sessions, six embodiment sessions and the community to explore with. You are now invited to journey through this in your own time and at your own pace with unlimited access to the recordings. 

“If the majority of the world was not trying to keep body and soul together, we’d have a creative spiritual Renaissance on this planet.” Alnoor Ladha

The Themes

Week One: Dismantling New Age Spirituality 

• What is New Age spirituality and why does it need dismantling? 
• How have our spiritual lives been co-opted by systems of power and separation including capitalism, colonisation, anthropocentrism, patriarchy and hyper-individualism? 

Week Two: The Expanded We 

• What happens when we move beyond polarity and anthropocentrism into a larger sense of We? 
• How do we embrace both the more than human world and those who have different beliefs to us in our understanding of who we are?

Week Three:  We Are All Entangled 

• How can we shift our understanding of karma from an individual to a collective embodied inquiry and practice?  
• How can collective karma actually invite more space for different belief systems and & diversity on the path?

Week Four:  Collective Dharma

• How do we deepen our understanding of Dharma from an individual soul focus to a collective inquiry that honours and celebrates both our diversity and interconnectedness and calls for collective liberation and prosperity? 
• How can we dismantle our privilege and notions of white saviorism whilst still showing up for issues such as climate breakdown which have less impact where there is more wealth? 

Week Five: Engaged Activism 

• How can we redefine sacred activism for this moment and embrace the political, ecological and societal challenges within our understanding of and commitment to our spiritual practice? 
• What does community organising and activism look like when our sense of self is now so global and technological? 

Week Six:  Embodying All That We Are 

• How do we embody a spirituality of wholeness and innate worth as we live in the complexity of now?

When we present the version of ourselves that other people want to see we take away their choices and say ‘you’re not ready to see this part of me’. It all starts from us.

Hosted by:

(formally known as the future is beautiful.) We explore the weave between activism, the sacred, creativity and regeneration. The spaces where our inner and outer worlds dance. From healing trauma to nature connection to new technologies to ancient wisdom - it’s time for us to move beyond silos and into an integrated way of being. Every one of us has ideas and personal experiences to share that can lead us to a more beautiful future. Despite the challenges we face as a global community or the pressures we meet in our daily lives, when we stop and dare to listen, to ask ourselves the big questions and to share what we are already doing and envisioning, we create the futures of our wildest dreams. And we begin to embody all that we are, all that we are becoming and all that is possible.

About From Me to We:

As the pandemic has changed us in ways we are just comprehending, several  living questions are:  How can we live our values in a more meaningful way? How do we move from the paradigm of individual spirituality to something that feels more aligned with the story of interbeing? How do we have a relationship with the sacred that allows us to show up in an engaged way – recognising that we are all in the same storm, but not in the same boat. 

We are living in a crisis of spirit and separation – from our true nature, each other and this beautiful planet. Navigating a spiritual path within late stage capitalism is challenging for all of us. As many of us have moved away from organised religion into a hybrid of different cultures and practices, whilst wellbeing has become an industry – we feel the damage that New Age spirituality has caused. It has distorted us from an engaged and embodied approach to collective healing and liberation – in many cases fostering greater separation, individualism and escapism – and doing little to dismantle and transform the systems of power and separation that drive so much suffering in our world.

Many of us feel we have become a product of this time and these systems, with a focus on individual success and external comparison – fuelling these very crises rather than seeking to heal their shared roots. Despite good intentions, we find ourselves navigating the complexities of these times rather clumsily and being part of the problem. We now also exist within ‘cancel culture’, where questioning the dominant narrative can lead to being outcast and deplatformed, it’s a challenging time we live in. 

If you are feeling called to deepen your understanding of this time, unravel some outdated patterns and explore how you can grow and serve in your community,  ‘all that we are’ invites you to join us on this living inquiry into how we move from Me to We. 

This is a collective journey to transmute and heal from the hyper-individualised and capitalist shadows that too often fuel isolation, inadequacy and polarity. Our deepest intention is to create space to discover and embody a spirituality of belonging, wholeness, and action – to live a We, that is both more inclusive and expansive in these divided times and in deeper relation with the more-than-human world. 

Our starting point is not with all the answers. We don’t offer you experts or gurus. We have good questions, and a willingness to sit with the uncertainty this great turning asks of us. We will bow at the altar of emergence and hold space for what longs to be birthed through us as we remember ALL THAT WE ARE.  

We have gathered a collective of curious souls for this inquiry, in both the facilitators and each of you taking part. Together, we can explore what it means to be human at this time and how to show up more powerfully as we go on this six week learning journey. 

From Me to We is the first experience in our new series ‘Dismantling New Age Spirituality’, which comes as we let go of ‘The Future Is Beautiful’ to embrace all that we are, all that we are becoming and all that is possible. 

Types of Sessions: 

Speaker Sessions: Each of these six sessions will have three guest speakers in conversation on the questions for that theme. They will each reflect on the theme and the questions – and then the conversation will open up between them. These are hosted by Amisha Ghadiali, in the open and expansive way that you know from the podcast, giving space for new thinking, and perspective to emerge. These sessions will be unique as these speakers have never all come together around these themes before – and they have been curated to bring diversity and for us to both learn and unlearn through this process. The sessions won’t be shared outside of this course and this group, and you will have access to them to watch in your own time, or to come back to as a resource. We will give transcripts of these as well to all participants.  

Embodiment sessions: We believe that embodiment is a key aspect of healing. Facilitated by Ava Riby-Williams, these will be a chance to physically explore and integrate the themes that we explore each week on this learning journey. In each session Ava will hold the group in a mixture of guided movement sequences, free movement, guided visualisations, and playful exercises to Somatically explore our individual and collective truths. Each session will include practises to regulate our nervous systems, and will be intentionally crafted to welcome people with different levels of movement experience and ability. Sessions, like all others in the course, will be held on zoom. For some sections of each class, practising with camera off will be welcomed. At other times, participants will be gently encouraged to practise with cameras on to experience our “we” more fully and transformatively. It will be helpful for you to wear loose, comfortable clothes and bring a speaker and a yoga mat, even though you might also be invited to participate off of your mat at times. 

Community Space: Community is a key aspect of ‘all that we are’ and having space to process what comes up. You will all be encouraged to share through the duration of the course and afterwards in our dedicated group on the ‘all that we are’ app. You can also join the monthly soul session with Amisha (if you are an all that we are member) to discuss what may be coming up for you.
