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 E17 | Our Beloved Futures Book: Remembering Ourselves as Co-Creators
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the future is not something happening to us, but something moving through us?
What if remembering our place within a living cosmos is the beginning of true empowerment?
In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee sits in intimate conversation with her dear friend and longtime creative companion Cassie Mitchell, continuing the unfolding of the Our Beloved Futures book. Together, they open a deeper layer of the book’s architecture, philosophy, and prayer – exploring futures thinking as liberation, ecological belonging, and sacred participation in the ongoing creation of the world. This episode is both reflection and invocation – a remembering of ourselves as participants in a living Earth, and an invitation to imagine futures rooted not in domination, but in reverence.

About the Conversation
In this contemplative and expansive dialogue, Aubrey speaks to the courage required to remain authentic in the creative process, especially when navigating feedback, doubt, and the pressure to make one’s work easily digestible. She shares how Our Beloved Futures was never meant to be a conventional book, but a transmission – a frequency that works on the reader beyond linear logic.
The conversation moves between the intimate and the planetary: from the vulnerability of trusting one’s inner voice, to the profound responsibility of recognizing that the future is shaped through imagination, relationship, and collective dreaming. Aubrey invites us to shift from the “modern mind,” rooted in separation and extraction, into an ecological or Indigenous mind – one that understands interdependence, reciprocity, and the aliveness of the world. At its heart, this episode asks us to remember: we are not observers of the future. We are co-creators within it.
What We Explore in This Episode
This episode offers a deepening into the philosophical and energetic foundations of Our Beloved Futures. Aubrey reflects on the nonlinear, initiatory nature of writing, the chakra system as a map of collective becoming, and the power of metaphor – particularly the butterfly – to help us understand the necessary dissolution of old systems and identities. Woven throughout is an invitation into futures work as empowerment, imagination, and sacred responsibility, grounded in our relationship with a living Earth.
Key Takeaways
- Writing as soul retrieval – the creative process as a journey of remembering, integration, and transformation.
- Words as living frequencies – language as spell, transmission, and embodied experience beyond intellect.
- The chrysalis moment – understanding collapse, uncertainty, and dissolution as part of emergence.
- Futures as empowerment – recognizing our role and agency in shaping what comes next.
- Co-creating with a living planet – remembering ourselves as participants within an animate, intelligent Earth.
For anyone moving through personal or collective transition, creative becoming, or the longing to live in deeper alignment with life, this episode offers a steady and visionary reminder: the future is not fixed, and we are not powerless. Through imagination, devotion, and relationship, we participate in the emergence of our beloved futures.
