Conversations with courageous Women (and some Men) that are taking a stand for radical aliveness.
We are broadcasting from and beyond the edge of patriarchy, mapping the way to Archiarchy: next culture of initiated adult Women and Men collaborating.
This Edgecast is brought to you by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten, Millicent Haughey and Hannah Abouzahrah, and is powered by Radically Alive Women, a context for empowering radical aliveness in Women (and also Men).
Yaki Wo is the Mother of two, a forest therapy guide, and a regenerative practitioner. Besides being a Mother, her main work is introducing people to regenerative development and practice for future positive leadership. She is originally from Hong Kong and today lives in Australia.
In this episode, Yaki shares how she got to develop Future Positive, or “Future+”, a programme she birthed in collaboration with Beijing based “Wild Bound”. It is a programme to bring regenerative practice, which she defines as cultivating essence-to-essence relationship between whole living beings, to architects and urban planners.
Yaki shares her journey from feeling out of place in Hong Kong, studying journalism with a strong sense of justice, becoming a human rights campaigner, winning a scholarship in the UK which got her into climate change, and joining a philanthropic foundation funding NGOs that work on climate change issues.
Listen to this episode to learn about how a dream job can turn into burn-out if old principles of pure logic and analytics are applied, and how personal life challenges can lead to change of focus. Through the death of her mother, Yaki came to enquire her spirituality, and became a forest therapy guide. Her becoming a Mother and encountering Covid lockdowns spurred her development further.
As she learned to trust for things to emerge rather than trying to impose, listening and noticing where the patterns are emerging, she came to co-create Future+.
Today she offers Future+ workshops and community support, mainly in Asia, with a focus on regenerative discipline, to empower people to move beyond old school thinking to a more regenerative way forward.
Listen till the end for a practical exercise to take into your life.
