As we arrive at the end of 2025, this episode of Root + Rise is an invitation to take stock of all that this year has asked of us – personally, collectively.

I reflect on 2025 – the year of the Wood Snake in the Chinese calendar – as a year of profound shedding, completion and a time when old systems, identities, and ways of being have been chiselled away to reveal something more essential beneath.

Moving from personal reflection into the wider collective field, this episode explores what it means to stand at the threshold of a new cycle. I speak to the collapse of unsustainable structures, reclaiming energetic sovereignty in an age of hyper-stimulation and surveillance, and why rooting in inner authority is essential as we move through these times.

At the heart of this conversation is the reclamation of imagination through an exploration of what it truly is, beyond just make believe, and why it matters so much at this time – and the threats to it. I introduce the idea of embodied imagination, and how that's an access point to our mutlidimensional human potential.

As 2026 opens as a 1 year numerology, the beginning of a brand new cycle, this episode is a call to step into your role as a steward and architect of what’s emerging, via your imagination and grounded in the body, the nervous system and your inner authority.

This episode is an exploration of manifestation through a decolonial, Nature-aligned, trauma-informed lens. Moving beyond the hyper-individualistic, transactional narrative, this is a call towards a more relational understanding of co-creation – one rooted in ecosomatics, nervous system capacity, embodiment, and interdependence with the more-than-human world.

I talk about why we don’t create from thoughts alone, how unprocessed trauma and stress can influence what we’re able to call in, and how bypassing, toxic positivity, and formulaic manifestation practices can reinforce a culture of pathology. This is about manifestation as a crucible for integration, evolution, and becoming – not performing or fixing and not a measure of our worth.

We also look at the role of values in the process of manifesation, the importance of nervous system safety in holding big visions, and what it means to steward dreams that are in service to life, rather than extraction or ego.

For the humans with big visions who are feeling disillusioned with the hype of mainstream manifestation culture, and sensing there’s a more natural, relational, and truthful way, this conversation is an invitation back into right relationship with yourself, your values, and Nature’s creative rhythms.

In this 10th episode of Root + Rise, we wander through some of my favorite terriain: the dance of opposites, the numinous space of both/and, and the wildly generative consciousness that lives at the Zero Point Field ~ the realm of The Fool, Beginner’s Mind, and radically creative evolution.

Join me as we explore:

The archetype of The Fool and the number 0 ~ the cosmic reset, the soul’s new cycle, and the curiosity that unfurls new worlds.

The Zero Point Field in physics and mysticism ~ the alive, luminous space of infinite potential that’s also the fabric of our own consciousness.

A personal story from my childhood encounters with the vast, transpersonal Self ~ and what they revealed about love, identity, and the larger context holding us.

Curiosity as an alchemical force ~ especially towards the “negative spaces” in our lives.

Beginner’s Mind ~ the revolutionary humility that makes space for new possibilities, innovation, and the radically creative consciousness that the world is hungry for right now

The dangers of expertise-as-identity, and why openness is the fertile ground of evolution.

Everyday invitations to practice Beginner’s Mind in real time

This episode is a recalibration and a reminder that you're not separate from the infinite, shimmering potential of the Unified Field; that openness is a kind of magic. And that the seeds of a new evolutionary cycle are already alive within you.
