40 for Tea

Rach Allan

About

40 for tea invites us on a quest, to take a moment to be together, a weekly conversation exploring our unique perspectives and common ground, what it is to be human in this new decade. With 40 for tea all perspectives are possible, instead of feeling divided about our differences as human beings, 40 for tea believes deep down we all want the same things, and it's good conversation and curiosity that's going to bring us together around the table (and a pot of tea, of course). Go grab a cuppa and join the journey of 40 cups of tea, together.

Collective Healing Through Dialogue: with NNI's Jonelle Naudé & Wiebke Renner

Welcome to Cuppa 37 of 40. In this episode of the 40 for Tea, host Rachel Allan https://www.linkedin.com/in/rach-allan invites you to a lively conversation with NNI dialogues Jonelle Naudé https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonellenaud%C3%A9 and Weibke Renner https://renner-resonanz.com/about.   We dive straight into tea, crossing divides and removing the charge from power words.   These powerhouse women are firm believers in the power of facilitated, genuine communication and the transformative role of empathy in resolving conflicts. At the heart of their philosophy lies the knowledge that when people's voices are truly heard, a space for understanding and new solutions are created. NNI dialogue is a systems based methodology born through working in post apartheid South Africa.  Tangible change is measured through 3 specific steps. We are challenged to question the dominating focus on the "why am I right?" mindset, which often hinders progress. Instead, we are encouraged to consider that multiple truths bring resilience to a system, fear as a protector and perhaps the emotions we feel don't always belong to us. We celebrate what it is to be human, are offered valuable perspectives on how to get unstuck in relationships, teams and in life events.  As we ask the question "how do we be with complexity and move forward together?" There's also a bit of energetic plumbing!   So grab your cuppa and let's dive in together.

Finding Balance with Satish Kumar: Love, Optimism, and Regenerative Economics - Cuppa 36.5

Welcome to Cuppa 36.5 of 40. In this episode of the 40 for Tea, host Rachel Allan has a heartfelt and profound conversation with world-renowned activist, peacemaker, and author, Satish Kumar.  With over half a century of activism, Satish is a beacon of hope, drawing from his profound interactions with figures like Pope Francis and Martin Luther King to inspire global change. Satish recounts his poignant journey delivering peace tea to global leaders, advocating for mindfulness, unity, and heart-led communication in times of adversity. He shares anecdotes of bridging divides with a cup of tea, a powerful conversation and connection with nature, advocating for patience and trust in the tireless pursuit of justice. As co-founder of Schumacher College, Satish talks of regenerative practices and sustainable living, grounding his teachings in the belief that the economy should enhance human and planetary well-being, not exploit it. He reframes HR from Human Resources to Human Relationships. Painting a compelling portrait of an economy that celebrates human relationships and operates within the ecological "doughnut." We delve into Satish's guiding principles – soil, soul, and society – and how we must nurture each dimension to foster environmental and spiritual connectivity. With coherent and compassionate wisdom, Satish champions love as the metaphysical gravity that holds our universe together. We celebrate the power of love, optimism, and the courage to transform not just our external world, but our inner landscapes as well.  This is not just an episode; it's an invitation to pause, reflect, and join us on a journey to uncover what truly matters.
