Meeting the Future

How a Podcast Conversation Led Me to the Embassy of the Future

“The future is waiting to be authored.”

The Podcast That Keeps Opening Doors

On a personal note, I often reflect on how much joy and meaning my podcast Good is What Makes You Feel Well brings into my life.

Every week, I sit down with incredible human beings—visionaries, healers, innovators, and deep thinkers—who are not just doing interesting things, but shifting paradigms. These conversations are more than interviews; they are portals.

With every guest, I expand—my knowledge, my curiosity, my heart. I walk away with new perspectives on life, emotion, mindset, medicine, and human potential. Many of these guests become long-term, powerful connections or friends, and often, they introduce me to people, books, ideas, and communities that open even more doors.

That’s exactly how I came across The Embassy of the Future.

A Portal Opens in Conversation

In a recent episode, I spoke with Vivian Amarante, a singer, songwriter, therapist, facilitator, mentor, podcast host, and consciousness explorer. During our talk, she mentioned a powerful experience she had while attending an event hosted by Novos Humanos, where she witnessed the unveiling of the 2070 Vision.

The 2070 Vision was created by the Embassy of the Future—a living, breathing portal designed to support visionary leaders and changemakers in creating a more conscious, regenerative world.

The Origin: Ancient Sites and Future Messages

The Embassy wasn’t born in a boardroom—it was birthed through sacred dialogue at some of Earth’s oldest spiritual sites:

• The Mayan pyramids
• Göbekli Tepe in Turkey
• Olympia in Greece
• The oracle site of Delphi

In each place, one message rang clear: The future is waiting to be authored.

This is the heart of the Embassy’s mission: to remember the wisdom of the past to co-create what’s next.

The Embassy was co-founded by Benjamin J. Butler – a futurist, strategist, and philosopher, former Wall Street forecaster, known for his work on global megatrends and long-view thinking, and Sujith Ravindran – mystic and author, a master teacher of conscious leadership, who has guided organizations like the European Union and United Nations in soul-aligned transformation.

Together, they created a sanctuary that fuses systems thinking, inner transformation, and future design—a rare and powerful combination.

The Annual Council at Broughton Sanctuary

From June 28 to July 2, 2025, the Embassy hosted its annual council at Broughton Sanctuary in the UK—considered one of only 30 places on Earth said to hold the energetic codes of the emerging future.

This year’s theme was: A HEarth — Where Connection Meets Vision

Attending were global visionaries, mystics, futurists, indigenous wisdom keepers, and spiritual teachers. Novos Humanos was invited and brought six members to participate in this sacred gathering—a five-day crossing between timelines and worlds.

What Emerged: A Vision for the Year 2070

Through deep listening, meditation, storytelling, and collaborative dreaming, the seeds of a vision for 2070 began to emerge—rooted in questions that challenge the very structure of modern civilization:

• Will nation-states dissolve into self-organized communities of care and shared purpose?
• Can money, AI, and technology be reimagined to serve the soul—and listen to the forest?
• Will cities become gardens?
• Will death be embraced as a sacred rite of passage, not something to fear?
• Can we build a future not rooted in collapse, but in regeneration, reverence, and interconnection?

The Vision

Here is the 8-part collective vision co-created during the Embassy of the Future gathering. These guiding principles reflect a future rooted in consciousness, regeneration, and unity.

1. Health – Integrative and Sacred:

Health is no longer defined as the absence of illness, nor a battle against disease—but as the celebration of a whole, fulfilled life.

Mind, body, and spirit are understood as one, with medicine evolving alongside human consciousness.

Healing happens through the full spectrum of human experience, honoring both ancient wisdom and modern innovation.

Each person is a steward of their own well-being, guided by the innate intelligence of the body and the natural rhythms of life.

2. Technology – Conscious and Ethical

Technology reflects the consciousness and intention of its creators and users. It is a shared strength, born from collective creativity and ethical responsibility.

Innovation no longer comes at the cost of the environment. Instead, it supports all life—efficient, ethical, and aligned with the harmony of living ecosystems.

Knowledge is seen as a shared birthright, not a commodity.

3. Earth – Planetary Knowledge

We gaze at the stars with our feet rooted in the land we vow to protect.

The planet is now a sanctuary where life flourishes alongside an awakened humanity.

This is not just a healed world—it is a reimagined one, born of a radical shift in human understanding and reverence for all life.

4. Humanity – Whole and Awake

Humanity has awakened to the truth of interconnectedness—the illusion of separation has dissolved.

Borders are relics of the past. Ideologies have softened. Diversity is honored as the beautiful expression of one shared existence.

At the heart of this transformation are conscious leaders—present, authentic, and in service to the web of life.

5. Economy – Living and Regenerative

The global economy now mirrors nature—regenerative, balanced, and alive.

Wealth is no longer defined by accumulation but by well-being, sustainability, and reciprocity.

Giving and receiving are sacred acts, and sufficiency is recognized as abundance.

Sovereignty and shared prosperity are the foundation of true wealth.

6. Education – Integral and Human-Centered

Education is preparation for life, not for systems.

Learning is a lifelong journey of self-discovery, not a checklist of tasks.

Every child’s unique gifts are nurtured—not molded—to serve both personal growth and collective harmony.

The pursuit of truth, not just information, shapes a generation of whole, wise beings.

7. Communities & Cities – Intentional and Regenerative

Communities and cities are designed as living systems—rooted in connection, culture, and care.

Architecture reflects nature’s sacred geometry, blending the ancient with the modern to create harmony and beauty.

Public spaces and homes are built to foster belonging, balance, and joy.

8. Diplomacy – Decentralized and Networked

Diplomacy thrives through global cooperation, regional sovereignty, and collaborative networks.

Communities and leaders unite to steward shared resources and respond to collective challenges.

Timely ambassadors ensure that the future remains accessible to all beings, everywhere.

The Embassy Resonates Deeply with Me

This vision and the work of the Embassy touched something deep in me. And it’s not a distant dream—it’s a blueprint we can begin living into now. A future shaped by consciousness, compassion, and courage. Are you in?

It reminded me of why I started my podcast in the first place: to be part of these kinds of conversations. To serve as a bridge. To remember, and help others remember, that the future is not fixed—it’s a living story we are co-writing with every choice, every word, every dream.

Spotlight: Novos Humanos

A special acknowledgment to Novos Humanos, the Brazilian-based group whose mission aligns so deeply with my own. Their foundational work is to raise individual and collective consciousness—and they do so by combining self-knowledge, multidisciplinary learning, and systems change.

They are currently active on two main fronts:

• Podcasting – Sharing voices and perspectives that reimagine humanity’s path forward
• Corporate Workshops – Bringing emotional intelligence, awareness, and transformation into businesses and institutions

They’re small, but their vision is vast—and the work they’re doing is essential.

We Are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For

My podcast journey keeps surprising me. It brings extraordinary people into my life. It guides me into spaces I never imagined. And above all, it reminds me that the future is being shaped—not just by technology, but by the depth of our presence, the clarity of our vision, and the courage of our hearts.

This is just the beginning.
