What if the future we're longing for isn't something we have to find—but something we're being asked to remember how to create?
In this deeply reflective episode of Conversations for Change, Becky begins with a memory from decades ago: sitting on the floor of a small room in Hilo, Hawaii, with her young son, listening to poet Gary Snyder read from Cold Mountain Poems. That memory—and the later realization that she had unknowingly lived within reach of Joseph Campbell while he was teaching in Hawaii—becomes the doorway into a much larger exploration of memory, mythology, nature, purpose, and what it means to be human at this pivotal moment in our collective journey.
We live in a world filled with noise, distraction, consumption, and stories telling us where to look for meaning. But what if what matters most has never been out there?
What if the way home is within?
In this episode, Becky explores our profound relationship with the living Earth—the source of every breath, sound, texture, nourishment, shelter, and physical experience we have ever known. She reflects on how deeply humanity has forgotten that relationship and suggests that healing our world may begin by restoring our capacity to feel that connection again.
From grounding and energetic connection with the Earth to gratitude, presence, conscious creation, and regeneration, this episode invites us to reconsider our role here. Rather than powerless observers of a world seemingly beyond our control, what if we recognize ourselves as participants—and co-creators?
Becky explores how our focus, choices, expectations, and intentions help shape both our individual experience and the world we collectively bring forth. Instead of continually giving our attention to what is broken, she invites us to notice, support, imagine, and participate in what is already emerging: healing, regeneration, new forms of community, and new possibilities for how we care for ourselves, one another, and the planet.
Drawing on Joseph Campbell's understanding of the hero's journey, this conscious conversation ultimately asks us to consider whether humanity itself may be standing at a threshold—a moment of decision in which each of us is being invited to remember the deeper purpose beneath our conditioning, our stories, and our fears.
Because perhaps spiritual awakening isn't about escaping this world at all.
Perhaps it's about becoming fully present to it.
Remembering that we belong to the Earth.
Remembering our capacity to heal.
Remembering our soul purpose.
And remembering why we came.
