Beloved Futures
“the ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”
~ David Graeber
The world is changing all around us. I know in my bones that, contrary to the evening news, a new and more beautiful way of human-ing on the planet is being birthed. One that is in right relation with Earth (Gaia), embracing the truth of Inter-being. The Beloved Futures podcast is a space of soul nourishment where we explore what is going right with the world and give space to the Beloved Futures emerging in our midst.
When we can collectively imagine multidimensional futures that we wish to live in, we will make the choices in the present that steer us there with more ease and grace.
Imagination is the mostpowerful force available to humankind.
Together we imagine new worlds into being. Radical (to the root) modes of relating with the world, remembering how to live with earth as the sentient being that she is.
Each episode, I connect with individuals and collectives whoare actively engaged withand devoted tocatalyzingbelovedfutures. What do these futureslook like, taste like, smell like, feel liketo them? What propels their work and dedication to radical imaginings?Together we explore what brings them energy and hope, the twists and turns of their life and learningand how their workin the world adds to the collective experience of thriving and joy.
These conversations with artists, healers, teachers, creators, storytellers, farmers, spiritual leaders, mothers and others on the frontlines of the imagination revolution are aimed at supporting all of us as werise into our creative potential as human BE-comings.
Each one of us is a vessel for thelife forceof Loveto flow into material experience and each one of us has an invaluable gift to share. When we focus our energies on the Beloved Futures, we collectively produce an energetic in the now that makes the seemingly impossible, possible. The time is now, there is no other moment than the present. Together we are a force. And so it is...

E6 Alnoor Ladha
My dear friend Alnoor is one of the most intelligent, articulate, prescient and generous humans I have had the privilege to know. He is an activist, journalist, political strategist, community organizer, Sufi mystic and psychic-architect of big dreams for our transition to post-capitalist, life-affirming futures of interdependance and grace.
From 2012 to 2019 he was the co-founder and executive director of the global activist collective The Rules. He is currently the Council Chair for Culture Hack Labs, co-found of Transition Resrouce Circle and a visionary behind the incredible community - Brave Earth/Tierra Valiente, a center for applied cultural transition in the rain forests of Costa Rica.
Alnoor breaks down the roots and rhizomatic shoots of the meta-crisis we face in this collective moment of existential threats to humans, other than humans and the planet. Offering pathways to become relevant and useful in this time - the time of the Kali Yuga - by harnessing the courage it takes to face our reality directly... with full compassion for our shared complicity. He invites us to see this lifetime as an assignment rather than an affliction. To take full responsibility for our place in the cosmos and our choice to be here at this time. This is a powerful conversation that you will not soon forget.
"Your life is a comedic, shamanic, creative act and you must find your god-hood in the midst of the carnival." ~ Alnoor Ladha
