The Kowtha Constellation

21/05/2026

I realized the last few months, I'm in a season of emergence. It's been a season of huge quantum leaps of understanding, learning and practicing new skills, and the result is a transormation on a large scale. I've seen this in other seasons of my life and of course in the life/work with Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds participants or organizational leaders in my consulting projects. Sometimes a small project gets the ball rolling and is what's needed, but more often than not, a huge paradigm shift is what awaits in my work. And it takes 8-10 months to really deeply learn the necessary skills and a further 18 - 24 months to integrate the shifts at an identity level. Only then does the Emergence come forth. (Emergence is the 7th step in my Kaleidoscope Practice).

The process I support change makers through, has been happening to me at a deep level and I'm only coming out the other side now. I'm starting to talk about what it was like in the cocoon - the healing, the adventure, the grief, the heartbreak, the integration, the process, and the outcomes. I'm still very much in process.

That's why I wanted to share a little bit more about my work in transformation as a consultant, teacher, facilitator, parent, friend, and human in the Open Studio Pop Up Series. Your invitation is below.

But a few other things you might be hearing this season from me:

- An experiment with audio notes (coming soon!)
- A revamp of Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds - you don't want to miss this new iteration, we start this summer but you can reserve your spot now.
- An encore of Cultivating Liberation on May 26th (and 2 more dates to come). I have recently revamped the curriculum BIG TIME!
- A season of asks. I will be making more asks! Some of them might be for support, or an invitation, or a program, or anything.
- More experiments, more visibility, more fun, in aligned ways.
- More resources (I'm trying not to overwhelm you and pace myself here - LOL)

We're headed into a very difficult season in the world. There's no two ways about it. If you've been barely hanging on, you know. It's going to be a bit of a whirly gig. So let's get prepared.

Headed to London today...

I finally found a comfortable mask that doesn't keep fogging up!

​I'm in the middle of rebuilding and rethinking how I teach transformation work, redesigning my flagship course Sowing Post-Capitalist Seeds, and refining what it means to hold space for deep change.

​Instead of doing that alone, I'm opening up the process.

​Open Studio is a live, interactive series for coaches, healers, consultants, and practitioners who help people transform. Each session I'll share what I'm actively working through — raw, real, and unfinished — and invite you to apply it to your own work. We'll think together, work alongside each other, and learn from the process itself.

​This is not a polished course. It's a working studio. Come as you are.

​What to expect each session:

- ​A real, behind-the-scenes look at what I'm building and thinking through

- ​A prompt or question to apply to your own work or offering

- ​Space to share, reflect, and learn alongside other practitioners

- ​Honest conversation about what's working, what isn't, and what's emerging

​Who this is for: Coaches, healers, consultants, facilitators, and service providers who help people transform — whether you're just starting out, rebuilding, or rethinking what you do and how you do it.

​Format: Six Friday sessions. Drop in for one or join for all!

Next Friday will be the first session, May 29.

​Session 1: Your Needs and Resources Grounding in what you actually have and what you actually need — before building anything. Practical inventory of qualifications, technology, network, expertise, capacity.

Woohoo! I just finished something and wanted to share.

My website journey has been a bit challenging the past 2 years. Oh dear, it has given me SO much stress.

But we are inching closer to updating them so they are all functional as well as beautiful, thanks so much Katherine Creighton Crook.

In the meanwhile, I finished a mini website with some of the projects and resources in one spot! The linKy is in the usual spot!

I'd love to hear your oohs and ahhs and other good thoughts!

I know many of us—founders, board members, and charity leaders—want to focus on creating inclusive and accessible workplaces. But with tight budgets and limited time, it's often a struggle. We're constantly juggling new legislation, finances, rebranding, websites, grants, governance, safeguarding, and day-to-day operations.

While we understand the importance of investing in education around equality and equity practices, it sometimes feels like we're always putting out fires. However, there are significant benefits to this work: enhanced decision-making through diverse perspectives, improved trust and loyalty, higher staff and volunteer retention, better services or products for users, and even bottom-line improvements. Plus, there are the moral benefits of doing what we believe in.

This brings us to the importance of setting aside time for structured strategy sessions. A workshop might not solve every issue related to workplace equity, but it provides a valuable pause. It offers a chance to connect with other leaders facing similar challenges and to think more strategically rather than just reacting to daily problems.

We need to build our resources before we face crises—addressing these issues now prevents bigger problems like low public trust and compliance issues later. More importantly, when we focus on overcoming workplace inequity and building psychological safety, the positive impacts are immense. This work shouldn't be seen as separate from our core activities but integrated with all aspects like GDPR, safeguarding, and fundraising.

I'll be hosting a virtual workshop next Tuesday morning. There's still space available if you'd like to join. It's three-and-a-half hours long, with all details provided below. We'll provide you with a playbook and work through key questions together to move from good intentions to well-executed actions.

If you have any questions or need more information, let me know. Hope to see you there!

To me and all non-binary parents out there.

Today is Nonbinary Parents Day

💛🤍💜🖤

And it’s a beautiful reminder of something the world is still learning to fully see:

There is no one way to be a parent.

Nonbinary parents are showing up every day loving their kids fiercely,
building safe homes,and creating space for their children to be fully themselves.

They are raising the next generation with honesty, courage, and compassion.

And yet, so many are still navigating systems that don’t recognize them,
language that doesn’t include them,
and spaces that weren’t designed with them in mind.

Today matters because it says:

We see you.
We honor you.
You belong here.

It also reminds all of us that parenting has never been about fitting into a box.

It’s about showing up.
It’s about love.
It’s about care.

To the nonbinary parents in this community and everywhere:

Thank you for the ways you are expanding what family looks like.
Thank you for the love you give so freely. Thank you for helping create a world where more people get to live and love as their full, authentic selves.

We’re better because you’re in it.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility and our anniversary.

I have often shared about our annual ritual of visiting the sea and renewing our vows. Today, we took a day trip to Scarborough and shared those words we first shared 16 years ago.

I less frequently talk about my q***rness. I didn't have words for being bi or for being non-binary as a teen. And even if I did, I didn't see how it fit into my life. Yes, I'd hear stories in Hindu mythologies. But my experience of the community didn't acknowledge my mental health, phyical disabililities, let alone q***rness. At school, my best friend was a gay Jewish young man. And there wasn't space for my q***rness in those conversations.

I feel like I'm a teen all over again with figuring out how these threads weave into the life I have created - the beautiful tapestry of it all. I never got to be me like that. As a teen I was trying to figure myself out, not as a normal teen, but as someone who survived abuse, as someone who was in an immigrant family, as someone who was always not fitting in.

Now I'm finally coming to terms with it all and we're being targeted.

I question - do I bother? But the role model and teacher says, this is too a learning moment for me, a chance to be brave, a space to show the work.

I think - is it safe? Should I share? Will this person hurt me if I come out. Will this put a target on me and my life? Will this compound the many other marginalized identities I carry and the weight that is?

I ask - for permission to be me, to let myself be me with more dimensions and depth. I ask will this be cute on me? How can I be more like my q***r idols and embrace their bravery and vibrance.

I navigate - a world that doesn't see me from my hidden disabilities, to my mental health and q***rness. I hear my name frequently abandoned before it's uttered. I hear 'she' even after I've said please no. I navigate spaces where my complex identity goes with me and how I must cut of pieces of myself to belong or choose to go without to stay whole.

Hey everyone, I wanted to reintroduce myself.

I thought this was a great opportunity to say, ‘Hi. I'm Anuradha.’

How do I pronounce Anuradha? Uh - n uu - r aa - dh aa.
What are my pronouns? Anuradha or they/them/theirs.

My work, and so much of my life right now, is about creating post-capitalist workplaces and changing paradigms. My work is really about helping people see the ways they have been indoctrinated through systems of oppression, capitalism, and so on, and how that shapes how they show up in the workplace or in our community. We replicate those systems of harm everywhere we go, and they shape how we show up in the world and the actions we take. My work is about catalysing people into action and co-creating a liberatory future.

Many of my clients are change makers, individuals and organizations, who are committed to making an inclusive and equitable workplace and world.

There are a number of principles I'm guided by. I value all sorts of work. We should be able to co-create spaces where we aren't extracting and using hierarchies, but instead coming together in power-sharing and imagining a future, building that future side-by-side. This is not necessarily being best friends with everyone we're doing this work alongside, but understanding the importance of the work.
If you want to know more, there is a manifesto page on my website.

In my spaces, I hope to have excellent discussions. I am open to dialogue. I don't love typing as a medium, I'll say that upfront. I will be shifting some of my dialogue over to voice notes for leaders - The Post Capitalist Workplace Brief (for organizations) and Sowing Seeds of Change (for change-makers).

I'm interested in real connection and connecting with people who want to take real action.

I look to people around the world working and fighting to build participatory and liberated communities. I center the voices of people marginalized by global systems of supremacy: Black, Indigenous, and people of color, people who are q***r, trans, impoverished, undocumented, disabled, neurodivergent, fat, and s*x workers who are fighting for the rights of all.

A sweet ladybird 🐞visited me in my office this week.

I've been a bit quieter this week while focused on an evaluation via interviews for an innovative community health equity project based in London and doing deep client work and pitches.

Despite the current political climate, many organizations want to transform their workplaces and programmes, retain top talent, increase customer loyalty, increase and increase public trust, effectivenes, and community engagement.

This work is vital, and I wanted to share some ways to reach these goals sustainably, purposefully and in a way that resists helps us dismantle the systems of power, and helps us imagine a different world. We can have delightful workplaces and workplaces that are imagine workplaces beyond the post capitalist paradigm that we're currently living in.

Here are a few ways to work with me. Find the links for availability and pricing or DM me, so we can work together this season.

- I have 2 opening for Accessibility in Action audits for April.

The process is quite an in-depth 360 that is the first step towards a post capitalist workplace. We assess the gaps, inconsistencies, and critical issues that need to be addressed to remove barriers to accessibility. Even more importantly, we come up with a personalized plan to move forward with the resources and opportunities available for your organisation.

Let's connect and see if we're a good fit.
