Futuresteading
This is a conversation about the future. About creating a culture that values tomorrow. We reckon a slower, simpler, steadier existence is the first step - one that’s healthier for humans and the planet. We call it Futuresteading. Each week we chat to community builders, ritual makers, food growers, health wizards and environmental wisdom keepers, gathering practical advice and epic solidarity - so we can all nut this thing out together. Join our nitty, gritty, honest and hopeful convo every Monday during our 16 episode seasons. Support the pod by shouting us a cuppa >>> buymeacoffee.com/futuresteading

EP 205 The Passage of Self: Dance, Grief, and Heart Wisdom with Eclectica (Demi Lee)
In this episode, Demi Lee takes us deep into the story of Eclectica — a movement, a community, and a living expression of embodiment and transformation. Together, we explore how dance becomes a language for healing, how grief can serve as an elder and sacred teacher, and how true empowerment begins with self-responsibility.
Demi shares the evolution of Eclectica from a creative experiment into a profound rite of passage — one that invites people to come home to their bodies, their emotions, and their truth. Through honest reflections on community, relationships, and heart-centered living, this conversation reveals how we can turn life’s challenges into initiations that reconnect us with purpose and love.
It’s an exploration of what it means to live embodied, to honor our inner seasons, and to build communities that hold us through the cycles of becoming.
Key Takeaways:
- Grief is not just loss — it’s an initiation into depth, compassion, and the full spectrum of love.
- Movement and dance can reconnect us with intuition, release stored emotion, and ground us in presence.
- The Power of Community: holding people in the dark.
- Self-Responsibility in Relationships: Owning our patterns and triggers allows for more authentic, heart-based connection.
- Rites of Passage: rituals that mark transformation.
- Choosing love, responsibility, boundaries, and honesty as guiding principles transforms how we show up in the world.
- A journey into remembering who you are beneath the noise — embodied, empowered, and whole.
