Join us in an empowering conversation with Dr. Anneloes Smitsman as our first guest on Awakening Together. She has a Phd in systems change, an international law degree, she’s spent years in Australia being initiated in aboriginal ways and the dreamtime, she’s the co-author of The Future Humans Trilogy with Dr. Jean Houston, and is a teacher extraordinaire.
In this episode Anneloes elegantly weaves together the latest scientific understanding with indigenous knowledge aligned with the intelligence of the cosmos. The simple wisdom she gained from her time in Australia around how to trust that the universe has your back and you can surrender into your greatest potential without struggle. Essentially becoming more intimate with the intelligence of nature, within us and around us and between us. These are skills we all need to hone and practice to come into our greatest potential and to be in right relationship with life. We also explore how we can unite our individual innate gifts with the intelligence of Nature and the Cosmos to turn on our latent capacities - thus enabling us to step more clearly into our power, purpose and passion. This conversation is hopeful and inspiring as we focussed on who we are becoming as future humans and what is our greatest potential. This is valuable especially given the many crises we face as a civilization. Not only does Anneloes share her vision of the future potential we all have, but she brings in clear scientific understanding of the new paradigm to help us see more of the patterns of the cosmos as they live inside each of us. We go on a journey into understanding the nature of system change and how this “chaos window” moment’ we are facing on earth is a tipping point for us all to stand even more in our greatness and our collective imaginal capacities.
Anneloes’ second book co-authored with Dr Jean Houston is titled: "Return of the Avatars: The Cosmic Architect Tools Of Our Future Becoming,” and has just been published and is available on futurehumans.world.
