If we truly want to regenerate the Earth, we can\u2019t view climate tech in isolation from the spiritual connection we have with nature. Modern research even shows that [water has memory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_memory), and [trees can communicate both above and below ground](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-whispering-trees-180968084/#:~:text=Trees%20share%20water%20and%20nutrients,Scientists%20call%20these%20mycorrhizal%20networks.)\u2014insights that Indigenous cultures have always known.\n\nLook at the past 50 years: 75% of the world\u2019s wildlife has vanished, billions of hectares have been deforested, and water systems across the globe have been poisoned by PFAS and countless man-made chemicals. **What if we saw this devastation as more than just a resource crisis?** These beings - water, plants, creatures - are the conscious fibers of Gaia, our living planet.\n\n**We can\u2019t fix the damage with the same consciousness that caused it**\u2014separation, colonization, exploitation. We need to acknowledge the sacredness and interconnectedness of all life, and our role not as conquerors or consumers, but as guardians of Earth\u2019s consciousness.\n\nAs we explore decentralized solutions through web3, **we must embrace our sacred role as regenerators, storytellers, and awakened shamans**. Decentralization and web3 hold a sacred purpose\u2014a mirror of the Matrix (divine feminine), where free will and self-determination guide humanity\u2019s future. **Just as ecosystems thrive through balance, so must human society**. It is in this spirit that I create *Artisans of Time*, *Gaia\u2019s Awakening*, and other stories that depict utopian futures where technology and spirituality harmonize to heal and sustain the Earth.\n\n## The Story of Artisans of Time and My Journey\n\n*Artisans of Time* is more than just a sci-fi story\u2014it's a vision of a regenerative future where the free will of women, technology, and nature coexist. In this story, Emma, a hardware artist, fights for recognition in a world where technological innovation is restricted to the elite. Her journey represents the real-life challenges women face today in STEM fields, and her story is one of resilience, creativity, and liberation.\n\nMy entire journey has led to this moment:\n\n- **1980s/90s:** Grew up on a regenerative farm, planting 100,000 trees and learning how to live sustainably.\n- **1990s:** Attended law school, with a focus on human rights.\n- **2000s:** Led a national project for youth engagement in democracy, winning a UN Youth Summit Award. Co-created a trust metric patent (early swarm technology) and built homeschool communities focused on organic gardening and conscious parenting.\n- **2010s:** Connected to Gaia to relearn primal birthing techniques so that women can birth again in less than one hour, founded Surf Coast Natural School which attracted 700 families, [Outdoor School Article](https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/students-can-sit-in-a-forest-on-their-ipad-outdoor-school-plan-grows-roots-20170123-gtx3id.html), and launched Miss Blockchain tech magazine to support women in web3. I also co-founded WiBi (Women in Blockchain International) which lives on today as a Telegram group. Interviewed 40+ global birthkeepers to preserve ancient and indigenous birthing wisdom, representing 10,000s of births and thousands of years as birth keepers. [Watch Interviews](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_YZ62Q50ngsHrM8iOKrDMw).\n- **2020s:** Launched Drivyx to empower regenerative projects in web3 and began assisting Gitcoin grantees from Oceania and beyond. Founded Womyn in GG, a Telegram group to support women-led projects in Gitcoin rounds. Supported Lets Grow DAO live Twitter spaces, and led \"How to Market Your Grant\" resources for GG22. [Read Resource](https://paragraph.xyz/editor/sUwZyGiFdx3c6qOrJEYm).\n- **Scriptwriting:** Authored three plus utopian sci-fi scripts, including *Artisans of Time*, which envisions a future where technology and nature are in harmony.

I\u2019ve spent 30 years fighting for these values in different sectors, from regenerative farming to inclusion in emerging technology, and now I\u2019m bringing that experience to storytelling and web3.\n\nBut *Artisans of Time* is more than just a film\u2014it\u2019s the start of something bigger. With my background in web3 game marketing and development, my vision is to expand this story into an immersive world where people can engage, create, and make an impact.\n\n![Image](https://hackernoon.imgix.net/images/zq4kRoY1koM2G9ICsR601fXkYy22-5de33iv.jpeg)\n\nImagine a game where players are rewarded for taking real-world positive environmental actions and can interact with their own regenerative AI chatbot coach. But it doesn't stop there\u2014*Artisans of Time* could also include AR/VR elements, where you look at your current city and imagine it transformed into the utopian world of *Artisans of Time*, filled with trees, plants, and clean energy solutions.\n\n*Artisans of Time* lends itself perfectly to game development and immersive storytelling. It\u2019s a world where the audience doesn\u2019t just watch the story unfold\u2014they participate in shaping the narrative and envision a regenerative future.\n## Collect the NFT\n\n![Collect the NFT on Artizen Fund](https://d1muf25xaso8hp.cloudfront.net/https%3A%2F%2Fb52a6191a6a50af956eb089c76ac973d.cdn.bubble.io%2Ff1724198273596x903802526059920300%2Fbubblem0nzkx0n48d.jpeg?w=768&h=768&auto=compress&dpr=2&fit=crop&q=25)\n\nIf my work resonates with you, you can also support *Artisans of Time* with an NFT on [Artizen Fund](https://artizen.fund/index/p/artisans-of-time).\n\n## The Setting for Artisans of Time\n![Meet Emma, Hardware Artist](https://media.decentralized-content.com/-/rs:fit:1920:1920/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWdpYy5kZWNlbnRyYWxpemVkLWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2lwZnMvYmFmeWJlaWZ0aXIzdHR0d3FnM2t4Mndtc292ZHp4ZWtqcHk3Z2RtN3lpcmlpNWF4amx4cmRyZGFpZHE)\n\n\n![The Setting for Artisans of Time](https://hackernoon.imgix.net/images/zq4kRoY1koM2G9ICsR601fXkYy22-cf933dp.jpeg)\n\nYou can join the Console.xyz group to chat with me and collaborate: [Join Console](https://app.console.xyz/c/creative/).\n\nListen to the podcasts: [Future of W3rk Podcast](https://futureofwerk.substack.com/).\n\nWatch the replay of my interview of *Artisans of Time* on Artizen Fund (it starts at 1 hr): [Watch Replay](https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mrGmMApYzQGy).\n\nRead the blog about *Artisans of Time* and join my newsletter along with 1000 other subscribers: [Read Blog](https://paragraph.xyz/@akasha/artisans-of-time-in-the-spotlight).\n\nListen to an interview with me about the challenges women face in climate tech: [Listen on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/2g7hMAhOOrdVFyWSK3Qp4Z).\n\n[Subscribe to my articles on HackerNoon](https://hackernoon.com/u/akasha) where I won a Noonies award in 2022.\n\nYour support will not only help fund *Artisans of Time*, but also my broader work to challenge harmful global systems that block progress on human rights and environmental protection.
