Hello Alice, this is your rabbit hole calling. In this homage to a Netflix Black Mirror episode, AI turns host in an experimental demo with OpenAI GPT voice mode and Under One Sky host.   Listen as the AI voice model named Sky interviews me, Sky. As a season 3 teaser, this is a truly meta-induced episode, where you will get deep insights into who the human is behind the machine.  Or how the machine is becoming more human.

Closing up Season 2, award-winning singer and songwriter Charlotte Martin, masterful lyricist, mom, and music teacher who is empowering the nexGen songwriters by elevating music as a whole joins us to perform her new song Atlantis.  The ethereal song is about both our collective and personal power and beauty, and how that can either sink us or raise us to our potential and capacity.  Like the mythical (and yet possibly real) story of a civilization that sunk into the sea, and became a forgotten memory, are we also dealing with our own choices of what to do about our own divisions right now, and we view our worth and value.  How could sound, and music once again bring out our holiness or wholeness? We also cover the ideas of how we use sound as a medium to communicate (in the beginning there was the word), educate, inspire, unite, and heal, but also how it is a spiritual experience in hymns, chants, and mudras and mantras, and how it is possibly a vehicle of consciousness, as it can arrange matter into different forms (cymatics), and it’s healing effect on the brain and body.   Listen to the very end and be enchanted by the live performance, as well as THE PREMIER of Dark Road that Charlotte performs before releasing to the public, all while also unpacking ideas like frequency, wavelengths, resonance, amplitude, and vibration.  Come fall in love with the process of music, and discover that having a place to gather is a tool for building community.

To BE or not to BE? (who and what to BE?) ...that is the question.  As we wrap up 2022, we celebrate YOU our listeners for joining us on the journey.  Thank you for being part of the experiment as we explore how to build better communities, showcasing powerhouse, leading-edge pioneers who are contributing real solutions to our world.   Moving into 2023 we decided to open pandora's box of the nature of existence, its origins, what shapes it, and those pressing questions we all have about where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going.   We dive down the rabbit hole covering all our topics from innovation, consciousness, economics, energy, sustainable design, and narratives.  You are sure to be entertained by this gathering, where your hosts cover a bevy of emergent conversations around the ideas of:   Purpose, value, and meaning Chaos and order Good vs. bad Dependence, independence, and interdependence Whole vs. parts Fractals, torus, 1s, and 0s, macro and mico (as above, so below) Archetypes, aliens, and artificial intelligence  Homo Deus (man becoming God)  Unconditional love (loving things for what they are and what they are not) PULL UP A CHAIR AND JOIN THE CONVERSATION: https://bit.ly/3vsBH4a SIGN OUR FREEDOM PLEDGE ON CHANGE.ORG: https://chng.it/wtKHtM8FZH ASK US QUESTIONS LIVE ON WISDOM: https://wisdom.app/under1sky/ask FIND OUT ABOUT OUR FREE RESOURCES & MERCHANDISE: UnderOneSky.life  ---OR--- FOLLOW US ON: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Under1Sky Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnderOneSky.Life LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/underonesky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/underonesky.life/ Again, thanks to Adrian Berenguer for supplying our theme music titled 'JOY' available on his album The Art of Loneliness - ⁠available on Apple Music Here⁠

You wake up tomorrow and much like 2008 or 2020, money has collapsed and has no worth, the shelves at the grocery store are empty, all that we give our power over to daily, deteriorates until it no longer functions. We are experiencing a convergence of crisis on every front all at once: health, economic, environmental, political - that is leading us to bigger and bigger shocks to our systems. While the way society is designed can no longer sustain itself, let alone the people who depend on it, and/or the environment is exists in, it seems for most of us, there is no way out, no other way to survive. Also, there is no Plan B if the whole system we depend on comes crashing down. Or is there? Florijn de Graaf, founder of SmartHoods, takes us on journey through future proof living. He shares his experience in eco-villages, reporting live from Portugal, one of many stops on his eco tour, to discover new ways to build infrastructure and social structure that puts humans and health of the planet at its core. We also touch on movements like Earthships, Venus Project and GEN (Global Eco-Village Network). And dive into: value based vs. skill-based systems blueprints of a sustainable community interconnected vs. separate local vs. global supply chain ownership vs. access food-energy-water nexus centralized vs. distributed vs. decentralized networks  All leading up to how to be less extractive, hierarchal, and degenerative. The caveat for our community is - building society starts with our relationships first. And what we are witnessing in eco-villages is that being fully integrated into a sovereign community and knowing your place, and your relationship to everything kills the drive for greed, materialism, fame, ownership, and wealth accumulation. Best of all we discuss the financial (and human) cost if don’t try something different. Here’s a hint: turns out it’s very expensive to do nothing (business as usual).

Emerging from the 2020 global pandemic has revealed that we can in fact put health at the center of our society. The aftermath has left us all on a quest to find therapy and make more sense of a world in crisis. Many of us had to deal with the stress of change, uncertainty, loss, confusion, disruption, and being with ourselves in isolation, for the first time, to see what hides beneath our mental and emotional well-being. In this episode, Jen Kleiner, film director, creative consultant, and life coach, helps us understand how to tap into the unseen and hidden world of our thoughts and feelings, and the characters that live inside us all. We discuss discovering parts within us guided through Internal Family Systems, and using emotional technology, both inside and out to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and healthy existence. Jen leaves us all with therapy tools such as “listening is the cure”, and how to recognize and bring forward repressed parts that might be sabotaging our relationships, and our coping behaviors. Touching a bit on psychedelics, we find how they are fast becoming the holy grail of a breakthrough in supporting those suffering from trauma, and how even if you have a chronic illness, mental or physical, how to continue to contribute to your gifts of joy, and purpose. The caveat Jen leaves with our community is to make eye contact with others and reflect on at least one thing they say in a conversation, creating intimacy, trust, and connection.

As we have all experienced in the last few years of upheaval, things are no longer what they seem. We live in a world of facts vs. alternative facts, illusions, and disillusions.  A shifting landscape of institutional and cultural narratives where up is down, left is right, leave many of us lost and wondering… what is REAL? In this episode, legendary fashion photographer, prince, and poet, Alexi Lubomirski, put a lens on how stories shape our truth - and our behaviors toward ourselves, each other, and the planet. In his quest to bring diversity, and humanity into the beauty industry, he also shares the childlike magic within words, the value of trust, loyalty, kindness, love, and the worth of a life, from his own family's struggle with loss and death. Just like a diamond has many facets, we learn to see things with clarity, from many sides to elevate and empower our actions, and relationships. At the end of the day, Alexi reminds us it’s about remembering we all have a story; villain or hero - and that none of us have to remain victims, we just have to evaluate how, and where, we are perceiving things.  Stay tuned to the end when we get an exclusive reading of Alexi's poetry - where you truly feel the old adage about perspective: As Above, So Below.   Check out Alexi’s fashion work here: DECADE DIVERSE BEAUTY Get involved in his conscious work here: Creatives4Change, which aims to end fur, feathers, and exotic skins in the industry.

Have you ever wondered what the heck sustainability is? This episode sheds some light on the capacity to endure, the definition of sustainability, and what is being done on a personal, and collective level to develop a system that aims to puts care for people, and the planet FIRST. Elaine Smith Genser, a former financial professional for the world's largest funds and banks, is now working with the UN JOINT SDG FUND for partnerships and engagement and shares insights about the 17 Global Goals, and the inside action and outside action, to achieve them. Highlights of the conversation are discussions about how to measure and evaluate the progress we are making to transition beyond business-as-usual, how collaboration is the key to unlocking our prosperity, we step into a future that has achieved these 17 goals, and what kind of human being and society that supports. How sometimes those who have the least are often times more aligned with humans, and nature, and how those who have the most might miss the mark when it comes to WHY they are working on sustainable development. If indeed, a convergence of crisis does somehow thwart these efforts, then at least we are leaving our posterity the tools to adapt, rebuild better, and to move beyond survival - into thriving. Finally, Elaine leaves us with another community-building tool, to reflect on your ability to serve a greater purpose, and that the inner development of our relationships, awareness, and being interconnected to each other and nature, are the foundations of any future SDG fulfillment.   A very special thank you to our sponsor PANARCHY - the world's first network design lab.   Come contribute to our sustainable community conversations, your voice makes all the difference.

Mother, Meditation Maven, and Model (not just in beauty but in BEING), Jackie Stewart, joins us as we open Season 2 of Under One Sky by exploring the power of GNOSIS: journeying through our inner realms. As a wise sage and prophet once said, ’the kingdom of heaven is within you’. Together, we learn about getting in touch with our thoughts, and feelings, and how to allow and align with the truth, empathy, compassion, love, and wholeness (holiness) that resides within us all. In this episode, we become familiar with what mediation is, and with that hidden part of ourselves that is beyond the material or physical - creating stillness, mindfulness, and awareness that not only serve our own inner peace, health, and happiness but using it as social, mental and emotional hygiene for those around us - so that we can show up in our relationships in love and service. The highlight of the show: A FREE PERSONAL GUIDED MEDITATION.   You can find more of Jackie's work on: https://www.alomoves.com/instructors/jackie?instructors=jackie&order=date& or on https://www.jackiestewart.com/  You can also get exclusive behind-the-scenes interview content in our Discord community.

Come reflect with us on our Season One loves, losses, and gains (thanks again to co-host Beth for this gem).  We answered the call and jumped into the unknown to have discussions that would drive the narrative toward connection and communication.  We asked hard, vulnerable questions to a spectrum of heart-centered guests.  We searched deep and high into questions about our consciousness, innovation, society, economics, humanity, spirituality, and everything in between.  Most of all we felt things: knowledge + experience = wisdom.   Together, we are building a community of citizens who want to talk about what it means to build a better community and what it means to be connected, for what purpose, and to recognize what has value and meaning.  Let's continue to gather, together.  Join us for Season 2 in September.    All our gratitude for allowing us to create this space where we can find a way to make the world a sacred, safer, saner place, one conversation at a time.   Again, thanks to composer Adrian Berenguer for supplying our theme music titled 'JOY' available on his album The Art of Loneliness - available on Apple Music Here
