Enjoy Amisha Ghadiali's Zoom talk in our The Elephant Meets series, on the power of committing to a beautiful future

Above is the edited version of our recent conversation, under the title of our The Elephant Meets… series, with Amisha Ghadiali, founder of The Future Is Beautiful, a podcast and consultancy that talks to those who have a strong commitment to positive visions of the future, and a politics to match. In this conversation and Q&A, Amisha covers topics like:

• The ‘dark night of the soul’ and how it is part of the cycle of life to let something die before the new thing appears - always knowing the new thing will appear

• Power and politics: being able to locate your own power before seeing how that shows up in the broader society

• Beauty as a commitment rather than as an accident. “The future is beautiful” is a practice and also a method, a way of going about being with others and therefor doing politics.

Amisha wrote a piece especially for us, blogged on this page.
