The Highest Potential of Technology to Serve All Life with Adam Apollo (Ep 11)
Technology is all around us in many forms. There are those that we are aware of and those we are unaware of - we call those invisible architectures and they have a powerful influence on us, and not always generative.  There are those technologies that serve us and those that do not. What is important for us is that the more we become conscious of how to design technologies for an all- win culture, the more we are liberated into our true freedom and true sovereignty.  This sovereignty, this full-spectrum human dignity, must be fully landed in our bodies and our relationships and our communication protocols.  To make this a reality, this technology must come from a consciousness that can support our evolution as individuals, as a species, and throughout our social systems. Imagine if we designed technologies that were aligned with the principles of life and living systems, where we were served in who we are becoming in more of our social potential.  We have been so long under the spell of an oppressive tech infrastructure bombarding us from all sides, that we don’t even fully recognize how repressed and limited we have been in these waters.  It’s like the frog in the pan as the water is slowly heating up.  It doesn’t jump out.  Our opportunity is now here where we are aware enough and conscious enough to say now we want our technologies to serve all life and nothing less. This next conversation is all about technology that serves life and our social potential and technology designed from a beautiful state of consciousness that is taking into account the whole and the part and the one and the many.  My guest is Adam Apollo who I have known since 2007.  This is our first interview and I’m truly excited.  You’ll hear how we met in a wonderful context with a group of people using open space technology and inquiring into platforms that can serve a wiser commons.  This was the beginning of Wiser Earth, a project initiated by Paul Hawken, which was the direct result of his book Blessed Unrest which was tracking the movement around the world, essentially humanity’s immune system.  Adam was one of the participants and was already working on some cutting edge technology that is even now being brought into greater form, in our time of need. Adam is a very unique and awake human.  He has offered insights on global transitions, physics, technology, human spirituality and the future as a "Next Generation Leadership" ambassador at the White House, in multiple NEXUS and other summits at the United Nations, and at conferences and festivals around the world. He served as Chief of Business Development for the 2020 Fund, and organized two Prayer Runs for World Peace with indigenous elders and youth from all over North America. He is a cofounder of the UNIFY movement which has reached over 100M people, and two education and technology based companies: Access Granted and Superluminal Systems. He is an active faculty member, author, and the lead systems architect for several international online academies, including the Resonance Academy for Unified Physics and the Guardian Alliance Academy for self-mastery, with over 100,000 active students of all ages from around the world across these schools.  He is now building a decentralized social operating system that has a revolutionary 3D starship dashboard and regenerative impact engine for gamification of planetary transformation. Adam is dedicated to achieving a sustainable and thriving interplanetary culture. I believe this technology that Adam has been developing can ignite some of the visions that have been foreseen for some time and that have been needing the conditions conducive for their manifestation.  I believe we are at that precipice.

THE TRANSMISSION FIELD AS A CATALYST FOR OUR COLLECTIVE AWAKENING with Sarah Drew
When I think about the times we’re in and this moment of history and all that is being revealed to us, all that we haven’t seen, all that we have forgotten, when that all comes together in flashes of insight and wholeness, clear intuitive guidance, then we’re touching on that place in ourselves that already knows - this is innate and we are naturally multidimensional with more capacities than we yet realize. We must recognize that we are at a collective fork in the road and we need to upgrade our capacities, attune to the highest frequencies of ourselves, listen deeply to the wisdom inherent in our life.  This deep gnosis, that knowing beyond what we were told, beyond what we learned in school or what we were raised with, that’s touching into the heart of who we truly are.  There are many ways to do that, through direct experience, teachings, books, teachers, life experience, perennial wisdom, the transmission through all the major religions and the mystical paths, and from life Herself, from the intelligence of Gaia and Divine Wholeness. And my next guest will weave many of those strands together in an exquisite embodiment that will inspire and welcome you to step into more of your greatness.  Her name is Sarah Drew and she’s a dear friend who is “the visionary author of the eco-feminist novel, GAIA CODEX, which catalyzes powerful blueprints for the future deeply rooted in the gnosis of the past.  Sarah has been a featured speaker at the graduate level and at organizations such as Google, ABC Deepak Homebase, and Bioneers, and she is currently a popular teacher and mentor for women worldwide on topics such as Feminine Wisdom, Evolutionary Culture. and Regenerative Technologies. Her work expresses a deep curiosity and a polymathic approach to exploring multiple disciplines with a focus on humanity’s evolution, the cultivation of compassion and our multi-generational nurturance of Mother Earth.” This is 7 generation thinking. We will touch on all of this in our conversation, and we do so in a deeply personal way that has repercussions for the collective and our global community.  She also shares some of her personal practices from her spiritual lineage and the divine feminine lineage of women who remember.  Toward the end she guides us into a simple yet profound visualization practice to bring forth a future that aligns with the more beautiful world we know, the vibrant seeds waiting to blossom in our hearts. I invite you to listen deeply, this is a transmission and conversation situated inside a pulsing field of life.  The way you listen will reveal what it is that you most need to hear.  Join us in this intimate container with Sarah who is a true catalyst for the transformation of culture and an activator for the role of women stepping into their fullness and majesty.  And you’ll be invited to participate at the very end in a wonderful collective intention!  And again, if you enjoy this, please share it and offer your comments and feedback which we deeply welcome.

Hello everyone, thank you for joining us on Awakening Together. This next conversation with Tomas Bjorkman is a very meaningful one for the times we’re in right now. You might say it is right and timely. So much of Tomas’ focus in the world is about cultivating the inner capacities of people as well as the collective capacities that can make the biggest difference. One of his projects he’s been developing is the Inner Development Goals and Summit, all designed to support this inner growth and maturation of individuals so you can start deepening your own inner growth practices. One of the greatest things we can do as Gandhi said is “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Tomas Björkman is an author and social entrepreneur with great interest in science and philosophy.

EXPLORING THE TOOLKIT FOR THE NEW HUMAN with Anneloes Smitsman, part 2 (Ep 07)
Welcome everyone once again to Awakening Together. I’m your host Sheri Herndon and as always I’m very happy to be here. This is what I consider to be a sacred container. I have a great love for containers because they are the membranes around a field, around a conversation, a group, a potential, an emerging potential. This conversation is a container. We tend to not think of it that way but when we go deeper into the scientific understanding, or innerstanding, of energetic fields and our combined biofields and the nonlocal fields, we begin to see more of reality, we experience the veils dissolving, we see through the glass darkly and then face to face. Our next conversation is a deepening of the conversation I had with Anneloes Smitman on becoming future humans part 1. What was clear in that episode is that we covered a lot of terrain and now it’s time to go deeper. By going deeper we will be going under the more superficial top layer, and thus are bringing in more of the wholeness that we can access within ourselves. So think of this conversation as an exploration within yourself. For more information and show notes, go to www.awakeningtogether.one

RESTORING AND REMEMBERING DEEP KINSHIP with Jamaica Stevens (Ep 06)
Hello everyone, welcome, I’m your host Sheri Herndon and we’re here again for another inspiring conversation. I recorded this dialogue about two months ago to the day and for a variety of reasons it’s just now getting out. And it’s perfect because some of the themes we’ve been seeing over the past 6 episodes there’s a weaving here and we’re seeing these themes being amplified again organically in this conversation. I want to invite you into a kind of mini moment of sense-making, because when we are paying attention to the continuity of a conversation, like this podcast, this isn’t just a set of discrete conversations, they are telling a story, they are laying down a new pathway, we can begin to see emerging patterns, and discover that we’re learning and unlearning as we’re in the process of deeply listening.

COMMUNITY BUILDING & GLOBAL COORDINATION SYSTEMS with Tibet Sprague (Ep 5)
Welcome everyone to Awakening Together. This next episode goes really deep into the heart of the new social DNA of an awakening culture. With my guest Tibet Sprague, we cover alot of terrain, starting with how we live in community, embody our values, stay connected when it gets difficult and do the healing work necessary for cocreation. It’s potent and enlivening to fully inquire together into what it takes to build a new culture, what are these building blocks from healing relationships to building deep and trusted friendships, navigating through the disconnection, as well as what will it take to birth these next generation of technologies, platforms and social networks. This is what is so inspiring because Tibet because he is bringing a whole systems way of embodying new culture. This is our collective creative opportunity to give birth to a human culture that is mature enough that we can actually work together in order to create a new kind of social coordination system for a planet in transition. We’ll hear wonderful examples of living together, working together, and working on a tech platform. Such a unique convergence. What will it really take to shift into Game B, the Infinite Game, or become a coherent superorganism for a regenerative culture. Basically we are talking about creating community, the kind that builds a beautiful structure of belonging. We’ll hear about the way of council, how it works in community and with for purpose businesses, as well as in a home, family, community. Here are living prototypes of the new operating system in action. Wisdom in action. We’ll learn about the Terran Collective and Hylo, a pro social platform, and ultimately as Tibet likes to say building a platform for stewardship of the planet. I think you will enjoy this, check out the show notes, subscribe and share with your friends and I am grateful that you are here. All feedback, comments and questions are welcome. It’s wonderful to share the things that inspire me with all of you. For links, bio, and show notes, go to www.awakeningtogether.one

FULL SPECTRUM REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE with Adam Russell (Ep 4)
Our next conversation is going to take us into a full spectrum approach to regenerative agriculture. What does that mean you might ask. My next guest, Adam Russell, is an extraordinary person in his own regard and he also happens to have a profound and integral relationship with working with the land and life. There are many people working in this space, but Adam’s uniqueness is that he is an integral comprehensivist and is firmly in the lineage of Buckminster Fuller. In this conversation we’ll go deep into what it means to be in right relationship with the land itself and how essential this is to be able to mirror more of life’s intelligence. In this way we heal so much of the wounding in our relationship with the earth and our outdated story of separation. There’s alot of hope in this conversation. From his vantage point he sees a readiness and shift in culture to have a different relationship with the earth. This land consciousness has been a core thread in all of our conversations on Awakening Together thus far – This being in a participatory relationship with life. We also explore coherence and an ancient technology called agnithotra, the seemingly miraculous aspects of biodynamic farming and quantum agriculture, as well as what does it take to transition from conventional to regenerative agriculture.  BIO  Adam Russell is an ecologist, explorer, and educator. For a decade he was an educator for Remote Medical International where he has worked with human and land health in remote locations around the world since 2006. He has worked to regenerate land with the use of the Holistic Management framework, Regrarians platform, Permaculture, earthworks, biodynamics, pyramids, and Homa farming practices which include biofertilizers and agnihotra. He seeks to build a knowledge base of how we can work to release the potential from under-utilized lands. Adam’s current projects include broadscale soil and atmospheric regeneration and the spread of available solutions through his work with Symbiosis.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FUTURE INDIGENOUS? with Joe Brewer
My next guest is Joe Brewer who will be sharing with us the stories of his life in Colombia and the magic that has been unfolding around him because of a renewed relationship with the land, not in a conceptual way, but a deep embodied way.  Joe is the author of The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth and has been building an empowered community of practice called Earth Regenerators.  His background is extensive in earth sciences, linguistic framing and understanding how we create greater harmony with the earth.  His journey is an empowering one.  One of the things I love about Joe of many things is that he holds a deep belief in the future of humanity and in the innate goodness of people. During our conversation he shared this powerful observation around healing.  Here he was thinking he was healing land that badly needed regeneration but what started happening was the earth was healing him.  This is the beauty of reciprocity.  Who is healing who?   One of the themes in Awakening Together that we like to explore is that there is an essential worldview shift underway that will make all the difference, a spiritual consciousness of connection and unity and deep knowing that life is yearning to be in greater more intimate relationship with us. Joe’s stories that unfold from his relationship with listening to the land and to healing himself are profound, like receiving messages directly from the land, to money showing up without effort to purchase the land, to profound healing for the indigenous people in Colombia living in the bioregion. The healing we are talking about here is the collective trauma of 100s of years of colonization.  This is in essence creating the ground for rewilding, out of being domesticated and colonized, we regain our freedom, our deeper sense of purpose, our higher capacities to see and listen and receive guidance and find joy.  This is when we know that we are standing in the wholeness of life and in right relationship.  Listen to the magic that is unfolding in Joe’s life.  It’s so palpable. I hope you enjoy the conversation. BIO Joe Brewer is the founder of Earth Regenerators. He has studied earth systems, complexity, and evolution in service to the future of life on our precious home planet. As an interdisciplinary scholar, he helped design educational offerings in Earth Systems, Environment & Society and participated in the founding of the Cultural Evolution Society. In the realm of social change, he worked with /TheRules to hack the global discourse on poverty and inequality. And as a father, he seeks to give his young daughter the opportunity to bring rivers back to life.

LIVING IN COMMUNITY with Katharine Roske
Welcome to the next episode of Awakening Together.  I hope you love this next conversation as much as I did.  It’s so full of wisdom and insight and plenty of invitations of where we can uplevel our capacities..  My guest is Katharine Roske and she has been a leader and elder in the regenerative movement and intentional communities.  She and her husband and partner Makasha Roske have been exploring their own personal and social development their whole lives  So they have tremendous lived experience. They live in community on 500 acres called HTLC in New Mexico.  They are a living lab for the new planetary Operating System. For them cocreation is a relational path to awakening.  It’s also at the heart of all our social systems - how we govern ourselves, how we make decisions, how we deal with conflict, how we heal and how we create, give, steward, all of it. They’ve been stewarding this land for several decades, tending sacred sites and sacred springs and discovering their greatest social potential.  This is a small taste of what it will take to cultivate the capacities for resilience that are needed now more than ever.  We’ll hear about the power of conscious evolution and the need for anchoring in the feminine intelligence at the center of all that we do. The story of Hummingbird is to imagine culture where trust, safety, resonance and love are at the foundation.  We’re exploring the social grammar of cocreation.  I hope you enjoy the conversation and please reach out and share if it inspires you.
