Reflection on the journey of creating "40 for Tea Podcast" Discussing the importance of heart-centered conversations Looking forward to the continuing exploration of connections and human experiencesTue, 02 Apr 2024 - 1h 12min - 68 - 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 invites you to a lively conversation with NNI dialogues Jonelle Naudé and Weibke Renner. 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.

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.

Celia Bull shares her story, saving the life of Adventurer Paul Pritchard on the Totem Pole (see Cuppa 12), how that put her life on a new trajectory and the power of Trust. Rach and Celia explore being a mum, exploring life as a journey and the power of saying yes to synchronicities, to shape life and how it evolves.
Celia is a Skipper, Climber, Crofter, Writer and Mother with an incredible story of journeying PTSD, following saving her climbing partner's life, to create a life beyond what she ever imagined. She is courageous, captivating, inspiring and real.
Through the power of connection 40 for Tea opens conversations on what it is to be human in this new decade. In Cuppa 12, Paul Pritchard told the story of a near fatal accident on the Totem Pole in Tasmania. He talked of his spiritual awakening, and how it had changed his life for the better. At the end of every cuppa, I ask my guest, "who should I speak to next?" He said, "Celia Bull, the woman who saved my life." Here is Celia's story and so much more.
The power of a cup of tea, to find common ground, be real and grow.
