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 E15 | Our Beloved Futures Book – The Art of Writing: A Journey of Self-Discovery
What if the future is not something we wait for, but something we remember how to co-create?
What if our words, our bodies, and our imaginations are already shaping the worlds to come?
In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee sits down with longtime collaborator and trusted companion Cassie Mitchell for a deeply intimate conversation about Aubrey’s book Our Beloved Futures. Together, Aubrey and Cassie explore the birth of Our Beloved Futures – from its mythopoetic origins and shamanic writing process, to the moments of doubt, feedback, and profound soul-retrieval that shaped its final form. Aubrey shares how the book emerged not as a linear argument, but as a frequency – an invitation into remembrance, ecological belonging, and collective imagination.

About the Conversation
In this rich and expansive dialogue, Aubrey reflects on writing as a devotional practice – one that channels wisdom beyond the intellect and asks the writer to trust their own genius, even when it is not universally understood. She speaks to words as living forces, carrying frequencies that work on us beneath conscious thought, and to the future as a collective dream we are already co-dreaming with the Earth.
From personal stories of creative vulnerability to sweeping reflections on planetary transformation, this episode offers a grounded yet visionary lens on what it means to live, imagine, and create in times of profound change.
What We Explore in This Episode
This episode offers a contemplative glimpse into the nonlinear, shamanic writing of Our Beloved Futures, where the creative process becomes an act of soul retrieval and devotion to authenticity. Aubrey reflects on words as living frequencies, the chakra system as a map for collective becoming, and the butterfly as a guide through collapse and emergence. Woven throughout is an invitation to shift from modern mind to ecological mind – remembering ourselves as empowered co-creators, dreaming the future alongside a living Earth.
Key Takeaways:
- Conversation as medicine – why Aubrey thrives in dialogue and relational inquiry rather than solo transmission.
- Density as devotion – how contemplative writing invites readers to slow down, breathe, and listen between the words.
- Trusting your genius – honoring the truth that not all work is meant to be legible to everyone.
- Words carry power – language as frequency, disruption, and re-patterning.
- Futures are plural – the future is not fixed, but shaped through imagination, choice, and collective dreaming.
- Ecological mind – remembering ourselves as relational beings within a living, intelligent world.
- Find the others – how authenticity becomes a beacon for imaginal cells to gather and build what comes next.
For anyone navigating creative doubt, planetary grief, spiritual awakening, or the longing to participate consciously in what is unfolding, this episode offers a resonant invitation: to clean and clear the vessel, listen deeply, and trust that your presence matters in the shaping of our beloved futures.
With Love & Gratitude,
Aubrey Morgan Yee
