Weaving in Action: Worldchangers Organization & the Heartfire Festival (w/ Yash Akasha)
Show Notes

Our 2nd episode in the “Weaving in Action” series focuses on the story of Yash Akasha and the Worldchangers Organization, an effort that he and a friend conceptualized back when they were children and brought to reality as young adults. 

Their story is one of multi-front, collective action built on 2 foundational pillars acknowledging the relational nature between ourselves and the world: 1) Inner Work for Global Change, and 2) Global Work for Inner Change.

This has led them to develop a 40 acre, community eco-village; host a family-friendly festival focused on spiritual learning, transformational workshops, music, and creativity; and to create an academy for learning both ancient traditions and modern psychology.

Tune in to learn what motivated their effort, how they maintain their inspiration, what the foundation of their philosophy is, and how they brought it all together. We close with a surprise artistic demo from our guest as well!
