Decolonisation: The Pathway to a Golden Age

We stand at a threshold between worlds. The old paradigms—rooted in dominance, extraction, and disconnection—are crumbling, making way for a new Earth timeline, a Golden Age of harmony, reciprocity, and sacred stewardship of life. But this transition is not automatic. It requires us to engage in profound, necessary work: decolonisation.

Decolonisation is not simply an intellectual exercise or political stance; it is a soul-level reclamation of truth. It is about unlearning the distortions that have separated us from each other and the Earth, and instead, realigning with the deep wisdom traditions that have sustained life for millennia. To decolonise is to heal—not only ourselves but also the collective wounds of history.

For centuries, colonial systems have severed our connection to indigenous wisdom, stripped cultures of their sacred traditions, and imposed a mechanistic worldview that places profit over people and power over balance. The impact of this is evident in the environmental crises, mental health epidemics, and societal fractures we witness today. The sickness of colonialism is separation—from the Earth, from Spirit, from each other. The medicine is remembrance.

True decolonisation invites us into radical responsibility. It asks us to question the unconscious beliefs we carry, to dismantle internalised hierarchies, and to listen deeply to the voices that colonialism sought to silence. This is not about guilt or shame; it is about awakening. It is about choosing to weave a world based on harmony, sovereignty, and respect.

If we wish to move from beyond mundane, material existence for real, we need to deeply examine power relations around culture and their connection to governance, behaviour, institutions and ultimately suffering and samsara. Utilising empathy and applied Dharma as powerful tools to enable us to step into deeper social equanimity is imperative. — Padma Khandro, Dakini Weaving – Keys to the Golden Age

This journey is one I have walked for decades, learning directly from indigenous tribes, elders, wisdom keepers, dharma teachers, and spiritual lineages that have preserved the teachings of right relationship. Their guidance has shown me that decolonisation is not just about justice—it is about our very survival and evolution. It is about stepping into a future where we honour our ancestors, protect our Mother Earth, and reclaim the sacred in all things.

If you are ready to embark on this journey, I offer transformative workshops and trainings to support the decolonisation process—both personally and collectively. Through embodied practices, ancestral reconnection, and deep inquiry, we can dismantle the old and make space for the luminous new. The Golden Age is not a distant dream—it is a reality we create through our choices, actions, and willingness to heal.

The time is now. Let us walk this path together.

“Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” – Fannie Lou Hamer

As we dream into a New Earth, envisioning a future of harmony, healing, and higher consciousness, we must first face a crucial truth: we cannot build this Golden Age upon the foundations of inequality, dominance, and unconscious bias. Decolonisation is not just a buzzword or a distant historical process—it is a deep, ongoing soul work. It is the dismantling of old power structures, not only in our systems, but within our own psyches, bodies, and spiritual practices.

Why Decolonisation Matters Now?

In a time when many are awakening to spiritual truths, embracing meditation, energy work, and mindfulness, there remains a glaring oversight: we often skip the uncomfortable work of examining our internalised colonial narratives and power dynamics. Yet without this vital introspection, we’re simply dressing old paradigms in new-age clothing.

As seekers, we speak of love, light, and liberation. But true bodhicitta—the heart of compassion—requires that we actively dismantle systems of oppression, starting with the ones we unknowingly uphold.

Decolonisation invites us to transcend spiritual bypassing and step into spiritual integrity. This work is not about guilt or shame, but radical accountability and compassionate transformation.

On a microcosmic level, inequality creates physical and energetic imbalances in our own bodies and relationships and has a symbiotic relationship to the global macrocosm. If we wish for world peace or a Golden Age to occur then it is vital to understand that Bodhicitta – true motivation to alleviate suffering for all sentient beings – starts with our actions and exploring unconscious and conscious power relations as well as spiritual endeavour.— Padma Khandro, Dakini Weaving – Keys to the Golden Age

What Is Decolonisation Really About?

At its core, decolonisation is about:

• Unpacking unconscious privilege and power dynamics
• Restoring the voices, wisdom, and sovereignty of marginalised communities
• Honouring indigenous knowledge, land, and protocol
• Shifting from extraction to reciprocity in all our relationships

It means acknowledging that colonial structures didn’t just vanish—they evolved. They are alive in our institutions, education, language, and even in many “spiritual” spaces that center white-centric perspectives and methodologies while marginalising others.

A Spiritual Imperative for the Golden Age

To enter the Golden Age, or what some call the Age of Aquarius or the New Earth, we must embody the harmony we wish to see—not just in meditation, but in our speech, our actions, our policies, and our everyday choices.

You cannot access higher realms while perpetuating lower-dimensional harm.

If we desire unity consciousness, we must confront and heal the divisions seeded by colonisation. This is the inner alchemy that turns shadow into gold. Decolonisation is a spiritual act.

It can be all too easy to dismiss inclusivity through over-rationalising someone else’s suffering and karma as their problem. This is spoiling a wonderful opportunity to become more compassionate and to activate one’s bodhisattva capacities. As the spiritual Hindu leader and ’hugging saint’ Amma aptly proclaimed “If it is one man’s karma to suffer, isn’t it our dharma (duty) to help ease his suffering and pain?”— Padma Khandro, Dakini Weaving – Keys to the Golden Age

Practicing Integrity as Conscious Practitioners

We, as spiritual practitioners, are being called to walk our talk. It is no longer enough to “send love and light” without getting real about inequality. We must:

• Listen deeply—to First Nations voices, to marginalised groups, to the land itself.
• Question our motivations—Why are we speaking? Are we taking space that should be shared?
• Use our privilege consciously—to open doors, to amplify unheard voices, to support rather than dominate.
• Cultivate inner balance—by harmonising our masculine and feminine energies, softening our yang-driven habits of extraction and control.

Why This Is the Threshold Moment

We are standing at the cusp of something truly extraordinary. But the portal to a new earth is not opened by ignorance—it is opened by courage, compassion, and commitment to equity. Decolonisation is a part of that sacred key.

Just as trauma lives in the body, so too does colonial karma. It must be acknowledged, felt, and released if we are to truly rise.

Let us not delay the dream of Shambhala with unconscious habits. Let us be the warriors of equanimity, the architects of a world where everyone belongs.

A Call to Action

This is an invitation to you—practitioner, healer, teacher, leader:

• Examine your unconscious conditioning.
• Change the way you show up in diverse spaces.
• Honour the protocols of the lands you walk on.
• Listen more than you speak.
• Support decolonial movements through action, not just intention.
• Integrate subtle body wisdom with social awareness.

The Golden Age does not arrive from above—it emerges from within, when we have cleared the roots of oppression from our hearts.

Looking at your own life and cultural background; where does your upbringing, vocation, lifestyle and experience locate you? Have you got privilege? Can you be honest about the distinct experiences and teachings you have received because of your background and how this informs on your world-view? How can you strive to be in deep equanimity regarding power relations and your own behaviours?
