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...

S2 E11 | Kumu Ramsay Taum – Living Pono: Remembering Aloha, Balance & the Blue Continent
What does it mean to live in alignment – with self, with others, and with the Earth?
How might restoring harmony within become the path to restoring peace on our planet?
In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee sits down with Kumu Ramsay Taum, a respected Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) teacher, cultural practitioner, and visionary leader whose life work bridges ancient wisdom with modern systems. Together, they explore how Hawaiian ancestral wisdom offers a roadmap for personal and collective healing, and how Hawai‘i itself can serve as a model for a peaceful and regenerative world.

About Our Guest
Kumu Ramsay stands as a bridge between worlds – an Indigenous wisdom keeper rooted in ancestral knowing, yet fully engaged within the infrastructures of modernity. His work does not seek to escape the systems of extraction and imbalance, but to meet them, reweave them, and offer a path forward grounded in Aloha, accountability, and alignment.
In spaces where metrics have too long replaced meaning, Kumu Ramsay calls for a deeper reckoning: not merely accounting, but radical accountability; not just reference, but reverence; not only return on investment, but a return on intellect, intention, and integrity. His voice is both ancient and emergent, advocating for economic and ecological systems that reflect the sacred interdependence of all life.
Through a lens of peace, sustainability, and relational wisdom, Kumu Ramsay helps communities remember who they are, where they stand, and how to move in harmony with both land and law, spirit and structure.
What We Explore in This Episode
In this powerful conversation, Kumu Ramsay and Aubrey explore the inner technologies of alignment and harmony, Ho’oponopono, and how ancient Hawaiian wisdom holds keys for navigating today’s fragmented world.
Key Takeaways
- Ho‘oponopono as inner technology – the practice of restoring right relationship within, before attempting to heal what’s outside of us.
- Living Pono – understanding alignment as a dynamic, moment-by-moment attunement to what is proper and balanced in each circumstance.
- Mana as life force – accessing, rather than accumulating, the universal energy available to all living beings.
- Hawai‘i as the world’s spiritual navel – envisioning the islands as a global center for peace, reconciliation, and ecological renewal.
- Navigating multiple realities – reimagining time, destiny, and choice through the Hawaiian lens of cyclical and multidimensional awareness.
Whether you are walking the path of reconciliation, exploring your relationship with the Earth, or seeking a deeper sense of purpose, this conversation will invite you to slow down, listen, and remember your place in the great web of life.
With Love & Gratitude,
Aubrey Morgan Yee
