After giving presentations on the dangers of climate change, Leah Rampy became convinced that something was missing from the conversations. With experience as a teacher, professor, corporate and nonprofit executive, and leadership consultant, she began a decades-long journey to understand what lies beneath our unwillingness to change our interactions with the natural world. Her growing commitment to re-weaving soul and Earth has been informed by leading pilgrimages and retreats, extensive reading and research, her contemplative practice, and the wisdom of the living world. She is the author of the new book, Earth and Soul: Reconnecting Amid Climate Chaos.
Listen to hear Leahâs insights on how:
Presenting people with facts about climate change usually isnât enough to shift behavior.Welcoming people into relationality and kinship works much better.Dealing with your overwhelm and discerning what you can contribute will bring you ease.Nature models interdependent sharing of resources, showing us how to think not in terms of scarcity and competition, but abundance and mutual benefit.Thanks for listening!

What does it mean to be part of the democracy of frequency?
We all get to choose, in any moment, what frequency we are holding: rage or despair, joy or peace; fear or irritation, love or inspiration, discontent or gratitude. As we can learn from wise voices such as recent Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nargess Mohammadi, or others such as Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel, and Immaculee Ilibagiza, even when we are imprisoned in dire circumstances, we have a choice about what our internal energetic and emotional state is, and what we are then able to offer to the world.
Tune in to hear how:
Choosing our energetic state may be our highest contribution to healing our planet and harmonizing the human-Earth relationship. This is because life on Earth operates as a democracy of interconnected lives, or a grand symbiotic system in which countless lives are intertwined, continually influencing one another via their frequency, decisions, and actions.Each of us gets to choose whether we are emitting muddy or dim light, or bright, vibrant, light that brings greater beauty and regenerative creativity to the world.You can curate your frequency and contributions through a 4-step process.This can be easy at times, and an uphill climb at others, yet it's not spiritual bypassing. I offer examples.The democracy of frequency and the options it offers you are likely going to be make or break in what happens here on Earth. Those who believe thereâs still plenty of hope for humanity and the Earth are the ones who are opening pathway after pathway for us to live in harmony with one another and the Earth.Thanks for listening!

What does it mean to you to contribute to regeneration for people and planet?Are you contributing in the ways you want to?And are you thriving at the level you desire?How can you translate what our podcast speakers say into your own life so that you and Earth both benefit?
In this episode, I talk about the importance of letting go of the blocks that prevent us from making the contributions we desire to make in the world. I share some of what Iâve learned about how resolving trauma and claiming your authenticity affect your readiness to offer your talents or compassion to the world.
This matters because your individual transformations impact planetary healing.
Your transition beyond whatâs blocking you can be a collaboration with global transformations occurring for humanity and the natural world.
Your healing or upleveling is part of humanityâs healing and upleveling.

Reverend Rhetta Morgan is an interfaith minister, facilitator, artist and healer. Her work encompasses the intersections of spirituality, creativity and activism, all rooted in an intention to work and live in a more just world. She currently facilitates Anti-Bias work for the Anti-Defamation League, leads The Ecclesia Fortify Circle, a group that supports activists to develop spiritual practices, and recently returned from South Africa working as facilitator and healer with Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity. Find her at www.reverendrhetta.com
If you want to be in service to love on this planet at this time, what can that look like?
In this interview, Rhetta Morgan discusses how to do the inner work needed so you can face domination in a potent way:In this tough time in our culture, itâs easy to lose touch with our vision for what we desire instead. Touching on awe can be regenerative for those who are feeling exhausted. âThere is a way in which we can infuse the most difficult circumstances with a sense of power, awe, and sacredness.â
We can face exactly where we are and how we feel, yet also take an empowered, compassionate, and visionary stance. This involves working with all of our identities, from victim to awe-maker, change-maker, and community nurturer.
Wholeness and oneness are the lenses she finds most powerful: âItâs not about winning. The âright sideâ is the âwhole side,â as healthy as we can get it.â
It's time to believe in the legitimacy of your sense of mission or calling. âYouâve got to have a declaration: I am here to support this time! I am here to do what I can in this time.â Our ancestors and the planet require it. We must ask, âWho do I need to become so that I can answer that heart call?â
âI like to imagine the electromagnetic field of Earth claiming me so that as I move, I move in service to her.â
âI like to live as if it is possible for justice to be the way of the worldâŠI am in the âyesâ of what is possibleâŠWe are called to stand before the ways culture works now and offer a different way.â

Deborah Eden Tull is a Zen meditation and mindfulness teacher, author, activist, and sustainability educator. She spent seven years training as a Buddhist monk and has been living in sustainable communities for over 25 years. She teaches engaged awareness practice, which emphasizes the connection between personal awakening and global engagement. Eden draws upon teachings from the natural world and an embodied understanding of animism. She is the author of Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown and other books. Eden offers retreats, online courses, and consultations internationally. To learn more, go to DeborahEdenTull.com.
If youâre an activist or a spiritual person, do you need âendarkenmentâ as much as âenlightenmentâ? Hear Eden Tull explain in this interview why her answer is a resounding âyes.â
In this conversation, Eden and I discuss:
Why our âouter workâ of activism or contribution needs to be supported by âinner workâ that feeds compassion, resilience, and purpose. We are wildly creative beings who are meant to experience darkness âas the field of absolute rest and regenerationâ that inspires our creativity.A âdark timeâ can be a personal experience or an experience a people or culture are going through. It can be âdarkâ as in âunpleasant,â or âdarkâ as in âmysterious, uncertain or visionary.âItâs counter-cultural to embrace darkness. But darkness includes beautiful halves of our reality such as the night, sleep, rest, interiority, sadness, wisdom, crisis, and fertile soil. Ignoring darkness within and without can be a mistake because suppressing or ignoring our grief or horror at the worldâs suffering prevents us from acting in healing ways.Darkness can be a fertile space where we listen and discover creative solutions that are based in fierce compassion. âItâs in metabolizing our grief that weâre freed up to act in more constructive and creative ways.âHow her book offers a structure for going into âdarkâ spacesâwhether meditation, open inquiry, or grief for a planet in crisisâand letting them be fertile instead of without life. Endarkenment can be a process of transmuting pain into vision and vitality.âWe need to wake up more fully to our partnership with natureâânot by seeing ourselves as separate, but âby recognizing our innate oneness with the more than human world and Gaia consciousnessâŠwhen we do this, we receive guidance and information.âThanks for listening!

She is the author of Nature, Culture, & the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership, and of Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart.
Hear Nina discuss:
âWe are in a paradigm shift from an âIâ culture to a âweâ culture.â âWe are collectively co-creating a new world.ââThe Earth needs us all to be leaders now.â And hierarchical models of leadership wonât provide the restoration that is needed.Her experience of redefining leadership as non-hierarchical and collaborative so that it became a role she could accept. What humans and Earth need is a âfull-spectrum leadershipâ that departs from patriarchal values and instead values both feminine and masculine strengths and contributions. This leadership honors bodily and emotional wisdom as much as rational thought.We need to recognize that vital forms of leadership include parenting, art-making, teachingâŠâThere are probably as many expressions of leadership as we are human beings.ââThe most inspiring leaders I know are those that can show up with vulnerability and not knowing, turn to each other for help, and exercise what I call relational intelligence. Theyâre helping create a culture where transformation is possible.â We all become leaders by supporting these skills in ourselves and others.Our whole culture is up for review and renewal. We need to nurture this within models of regeneration, not depletion of self, others, and our planet. âItâs not really our power weâre reclaiming, itâs actually the power of lifeâs energy coming through us.âThanks for listening!

Hear David Nicol, Ph.D. eloquently describe the big picture of humanity's long journey of relationship with Earth and how we're now ready to create dynamic transformation to benefit all life.
David discusses how those of us alive today are undergoing the personal and collective initiation of releasing outmoded patterns of hierarchy and stepping into co-creating new ways of collaborating with one another and our planet. The inner soulful journey many are experiencing is mirrored by the social, political, and environmental transformations we are endeavoring to co-create.He notes how this is an egalitarian, inclusive process of transformation that welcomes each person's or being's sovereignty, individuality, and unique insights and abilities. He also explains how he sees a consciousness of healing and peace growing world-wide.

Weâre experiencing a revolution in our understandings about how life on planet Earth really works. Hear why collaboration is actually how things are meant to function on Earth, and why thatâs good news for anyone who cares about healing our planet and human well-being. I talk about what this means for your sense of hope, your own thriving, and your experience of connection to the people, plants, and animals with whom you co-exist on this lovely planet we call Earth.
In this episode I cover:
New scientific findings that are identifying collaboration as perhaps the most vital aspect of how life on Earth thrivesEvidence of how human cultures have been leaning more into collaboration for the past three centuriesWhat this means for your well-being and for our joint work of restoring our planet and human well-being.Despite the messiness occurring on planet Earth, thereâs evidence everywhere that weâre outgrowing mistaken stories of domination and hierarchy. This is a thrilling time to be alive as science and spirituality converge in conversations about how we can renew life on Earth by witnessing and encouraging the collaborations that are fundamental to how Earthâs systems function.
Collaboration is a key to turning life on Earth from foundering to flourishing.
Itâs up to us which story we choose, and which story we live inside.

Life on Earth is complex right now! Whether you are alert to refugee crises, signs of environmental damage and climate change, severe storms, health effects from air and water pollution, or social and political turmoil, you could make a list of a lot of things that worry you or even lead you to feel despair.
But are the anxiety and eco-anxiety that have become normal our best response to the crises we face? Neuroscience and the history of activism suggest an alternative approach thatâs more beneficial for us as individuals, and far more effective for healing our world. Weâre learning that:
· Anxiety creates a freeze response in our brains that shuts down the optimism and innovation needed to solve crises.
· People who bemoan social problems or environmental problems often make few or no contributions to solutions.
· Neuroscientist Rick Hanson describes the human brainâs state of anxiety, stress, and pessimism as the activity of our reactive (and more primitive) âred brain.â Conversely, our âgreen brainâ state is our responsive (and more evolved) mode of confidently meeting challenges and enjoying lifeâs pleasures without getting stuck in the stress response.
· We can see the effects of red brain and green brain play out in human history and the work of current activists such as Wangari Maathai and Boyan Slat.
· It may be fashionable to moan and complain in âred brainâ and talk about our dystopian future, but I challenge you to realize that actually we are designed to respond creatively to our world, not sit frozen in despair.
· If you want to suffer less and help a lot more, learn to curate your âgreen brain.â Listen in to learn how.
· Living as much as possible in green brain allows you to be someone who assists with regeneration for people and planet, rather than someone who holds us back.

Karen Lorre helps people release unconscious blocks so they can have priceless results. She is the best-selling author of three books, Chronic Pleasure, Effortless Enchantment, and Chronic Pleasure in Relationships. Karenâs work has been endorsed by Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, and Gay Hendricks. She has had a lifelong interest in epigenetics, neuroscience, health, and spirituality. Karen is also an actress who has done over a thousand hours of TV, films and commercials. Earlier in her life, Karen went through intense emotional and physical challenges that doctors could not seem to heal. This led her to discover ways to transform her fatigue and pain into vibrant energy and chronic pleasure. She now lives a life of magnetism and miracles and teaches others how to do the same. You can access her books for free at https://www.karenlorrecoaching.com/book-downloads
Hear Karen discuss:
How she went from feeling that the world was too troubled for her to want to stay in it, to realizing that a focus on problems holds them in our reality.Her discovery that when you are solutions-focused, you continually encounter people who are bringing next-level solutions to the world and you see how you can contribute. Her exploration of sustainable and regenerative agricultureâs benefits and how she supports local farmers. How Blissipline took her out of serious chronic illness to her current state of thriving, joy, and mentoring others. âBlissipline creates a momentumâ that lets you create from your desire rather than responding to the world from worry or fear.The best contributions arise out of love. People think worry and stress lead to creativity, but actually, if youâre feeling good, thatâs when your opportunities appear. âI think, I love this planet. I love nature and want to support it any way that I can. I love seeing nature thriving.â And as you focus in this way, opportunities for your contribution become clear.How you can choose to be influenced by either the worldâs âbad newsâ or âgood news,â and how this affects your brainâs reticular activating system, your neuroplasticity, and your perceptions of life.What to do if this kind of conversation doesnât feel ârealisticâ to you.Thanks for listening!
