"Every saint is just a sinner who hasn't quit."Beloved family of the podcast, welcome to another episode! Today, I'm speaking with Bridget Boren. Bridget is a spiritual teacher and speaker who specializes in energy healing, emotional release, and teaching the art of letting go. A former Silicon Valley executive, she left the corporate world to train with her father learning the lost art of spiritual healing. The experience so transformed her life that she dedicated the rest of her career to teaching and aiding others on their spiritual paths. She is based in California where she leads an international spiritual counseling business. I stumbled across Bridget's profile on social media and as the saying goes "The eyes are the portal to the soul." and so they have for me and Bridget's work. I sensed a resonance with her energy and teachings and decided reached out. I personally really resonated with Bridget's transition from being a corporate executive to now spiritual teacher. Together we explore themes of spirituality, personal growth, and the connection to nature. Bridget shares her journey from a corporate career to becoming a spiritual teacher, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging one's energy field and the healing power of nature. We discuss the significance of being seen and valued, both in human interactions and in the natural world, and how pain can lead to profound personal transformation. I also really like Bridget's holistic approach to health and her understanding of masculine and feminine archetypes. I'm excited to hear what it does for you.

"The archetypal forces still speak through us."My beloved podcast family, welcome to another episode. My heart bursts open with love and excitement for the release of this gem of a conversation that went into the very depth of our existence and all the nuanced and subtle realms of the human experience. That is with my guest, Igor Kufayev. Igor is an artist, Advaita Tantra teacher and founder of the not-for-profit organisation Flowing Wakefulness. He has been serving as a conduit of transmission for awakening, towards the new era of heart-centred consciousness for over two decades. Born in Uzbekistan and classically trained in art from a young age, the one-time student of the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts enjoyed an international art career by his mid thirties living in London. After stumbling across his work on Instagram, I felt something drawing me into a conversation with this modern mystic and man of presence and integrity. There's something undeniably magnetic about Igor and I wanted to explore who lives behind the timeless wisdom of his sharings on social media and beyond. This is a deep one, folks. I gained entirely new perspectives on frequently discussed topics on the podcast such as surrender or masculinity. Igor has a very unique, eloquent and elegant way of observing and articulating his view on these topics and it has been nothing short of amazing and enriching to speak to him. I would love to hear what it does for you. Move well out there.

"My purpose is bigger than my fear." Hello hello hello! Wow, it has been ages since coming on here and I sincerely hope this episode finds you well wherever you are in the world. After a winter hiatus we're back in the saddle and it is my pleasure to start off the new year with a conversation about one of my favourite topics of all time: Surrender. That being said, I couldn't imagine a more suitable person to speak to about this topic than my guest: Tim Davis. Tim is a spirituality-based coach, author, and seasoned mindfulness practitioner with over 30 years of experience in spiritual development. As a coach, mentor, and course leader, Tim has empowered individuals from diverse backgrounds, including business professionals, spiritual seekers, and prison inmates, to achieve inner peace, emotional freedom, and work performance. A resident of Michael A. Singer's Temple of the Universe in Alachua, Florida, Tim's work is dedicated to practical applications of spiritual techniques. I've met Tim during my time at the temple only a couple of weeks ago and felt immediately drawn to having him on the pod. Together we explore Tim's spiritual journey, including significant moments that shaped his understanding of surrender and the interconnectedness of all beings. We delve into the essence of living from a place of surrender, emphasizing acceptance and love for one's current circumstances as a pathway to personal growth and transformation. On top of that we delve into the nuances of personal ambition, the influence of personal dispositions on the practice of surrender, and the importance of self-awareness in relationships. Tim also shares a beautiful poem that encapsulates the essence of embracing pain as a pathway to wholeness with us. Move well out there. I love you.

"Connecting to our hearts will always be at the core." Grand rising, brothers and sisters of the podcast family. Today, it is my pleasure and honor to once again feature a beautiful soul from the Sacred Sons community on the podcast - Bric Bain. Bric is the Creative Director at Sacred Sons, a worldwide men's organisation focusing on strengthening men's health. He is also the director of the new short film ‘Aaron.' A story about violence, forgiveness and a multi generational family connection which is available now to watch on Sacred Sons' YouTube channel (link down below). Bric approached me a couple of weeks ago with the idea of doing an episode together and so we hit the ground running diving into all things men's work and Sacred Sons, Bric's personal evolution and journey within the organisation as well as the future of Sacred Sons and his visions and ideas. I admire Bric's curiousity, drive and intrinsic motivation of bringing change into the world through whatever medium, shape or form he can use to leave this world a better place than he found it. This is a deep dive into an organisation that has helped me in so many ways that I cannot put into words here. Thank you for listening.

"I'm not drowning in the mist anymore." Grand rising and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today I'm inviting you into the world of my friend, yoga teacher, facilitator and sacred space holder Maria Branco. Maria is the founder of The Art of Presence, a studio dedicated to guiding people back to their innate ability to live fully in the present. Maria believes presence is a sacred gift, helping us engage with life's simplest joys and most challenging storms alike, with non-judgmental awareness. Through yoga, meditation, sound healing, and nature-based practices, Maria invites others to rediscover their connection to themselves and the world around them. Her culturally rich upbringing between Portugal and China, along with her experiences studying psychology and eco-therapy, deeply informs her compassionate, open-hearted approach. After meeting Maria and attending a couple of classes it was clear for me to have her on the podcast to explore some of the nuances of her interpersonal and spiritual journey and to dig deeper into who Maria is today and what led her to become the person she is today. This is a gentle, deep and intimate conversation between two seekers and friends. We hope you enjoy this dance through words and love to hear how this co-creation lands with you

"My experience of love is that it's like water, it always wants to flow to the thirsty." Beautiful souls of the podcast family, we're back with a juicy, delicate, deep and potentially awakening conversation. Today, I'm speaking with Bruce Lyon. Bruce Lyon – BSc, Dip Clin Hyp, MSE, PHDE, has been teaching in the area of esoteric wisdom, the tantric arts, cosmology and universal spirituality for over thirty years. He is the founder of Shamballa School and Highden Temple and the author of numerous books. He is also part of the Lead Faculty for ISTA, The International School of Temple Arts. Together, Bruce and I explore the profound themes of love, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Bruce shares his multi-facetted journey of understanding love and the challenges of being human, emphasizing the need for deep connections and the courage to face one's inner truths. After his work was forwarded to me by a dear friend of mine, I specifially wanted to dive deeper into Bruce's understanding of love and its place within our society and conditioning. So that's exactly what we did. Attention though: Bruce's view on these topics might shatter some of your perspectives and concepts around love as he emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's connection to love beyond gender and societal conditioning. We also discuss the dynamics of masculine and feminine energies, the complexities of modern relationships, and the journey of self-discovery through love. The conversation delves into the various structures of relationships, including monogamy and polyamory, and the lessons learned from personal experiences. I can't wait to hear how this lands with you. Thank you as always for being here. I love you.

"Death and dying are central to our culture." Grand rising soul family! Woah, I'm so excited and proud to share this episode with y'all. Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Hinemoa Elder. Hinemoa is the mother of two, a fellow of the Royal Australia and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists and a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist. She is the author of two best-selling books. “Aroha. Māori wisdom for a contented life lived in harmony with our planet” was published in 2020 and is included in the Oprah Winfrey Book club. Her new book “Wawata. Daily Māori wisdom guided by Hina, the Māori moon, was published in October 2022. She has a PhD (2012) and NZ Health Research Council Eru Pomare Post-Doctoral Fellowship (2014-18) researching traumatic brain injury and has developed Māori specific approaches for the whole whānau (extended families) affected by traumatic brain injuries. To be completely honest with you, I don't even know what was the first touchpoint between Hinemoa and myself but I remember being incredibly inspired by her natural, authentic, powerful yet tender way of being in the world. I admire Hinemoa's strength and clarity and find her mission of acting as a spokesperson for the Māori culture beyond inspiring and important. In this conversation, we explore the deep connections between Māori culture, spirituality, and mental health. We discuss the importance of intentional spaces, the lessons learned from nature, and the profound impact of personal journeys and legacies. Hinemoa shares insights into the Māori understanding of death and dying, emphasizing the significance of rituals and the spiritual journey of the wairua. The conversation also addresses men's health, emotional well-being, and the societal pressures that contribute to mental health struggles. I know you're gonna get somehting out of this. Move well out there, I love you!

"We can't escape our biology." Grand rising soul family of the podcast! We are rewilding today with my guest, father, husband, traditional bow hunter, and multidisciplinary movement coach Tim Matz. Together, Tim and I explore the balance between technology and rewilding, the challenges of navigating the modern world while staying connected to nature, and the impact of technology on children's development. We reflect on Tim's experience of using technology to spread his message while acknowledging its potential negative effects. This is an honest deep dive into the world of someone I really got to respect for his shameless authentic expression and being in the world. I find Tim's demeanor a breath of fresh air in a world of self-improvement and seemingly never-ending self-optimization. There's so much to be gleaned from our connection to the natural world and I'm excited to share this one with you. As always, looking forward to hear what this does for you. I love you.

"I've really learned how strong and powerful I really actually am." Hello everyone, it's so good to be back with y'all. I'm honored and moved to share today's episode with you. I'm speaking with singer, artist, and therapist Nirinjan Kaur. Chances are that if you've ever listened to any "spiritual type music," you've probably come across Nirinjan. Her work has been featured worldwide, reaching and touching millions of souls on their individual healing, spiritual, and personal journeys. In this conversation, we explore Nirinjan's personal story, who was raised in the Kundalini Yoga and Sikh community. Nirinjan shares her experience of being raised in a strongly devoted religious community. However, she later discovered the corruption and abuse within the community, leading her to question and reject the teachings. She emphasizes the importance of embracing both the light and shadow aspects of ourselves and the need to integrate our humanity. The conversation also touches on the complexity of religious practices and ideologies. Nirinjan discusses her experience of leaving the Kundalini Yoga community and the challenges she faced in rebuilding her life. She talks about the trauma, grief, and loss she experienced during this process, including the dissolution of relationships and the impact on her sense of self. Nirinjan shares how she has learned to view herself as strong and powerful, and how she is reclaiming her identity as an artist and musician. This is a very deep, honest, and raw insight behind the curtain of a life within a spiritual community, the integrity of artistry, and the reclamation of power. I'm deeply inspired by Nirinjan's life force and way of showing up in the world and am in eager anticipation of her musical future. Let me know how this one landed with you. Sending love to all.

"I am." My loves, hey. How are you feeling today? I know it has been a very long time since I came on here and shared anything. The last few weeks have been intense on many levels, and I'm still in the weeds. I'm currently reevaluating my relationship with myself, the work that I'm offering, the things that I'm sharing, and the intention behind all of these things. Why am I doing anything? And what role does my EGO play in all of it? Having said that, this transmission came through after some weeks of inner contemplation and retrieval. I feel good about the fullness from which these words stem. However, the ways of the ego are subtle and sneaky, and I'll continue to hold this little MF close. Thanks for sticking around, for supporting, listening, reading, and interacting with me and my sharings. It means a lot.

"You are not sick. You're just not listening to your body." Grand rising beloved listeners of the podcast, I'm excited like a little boy sharing this episode with you today. I'm speaking with Garry Lineham. Garry is a cofounder of Human Garage and the pioneer behind Fascial Maneuvers. Fascial Maneuvers is a self-care movement system that improves mobility and reduces stress through the entire body. To help achieve his mission of teaching 1 billion people learn to heal themselves, he's made access to Fascial Maneuvers and the full 28-Day Rest program absolutely free. After 10 years of providing traditional and alternative treatments through his clinic in Venice Beach, CA he realized that unless people learned to heal themselves, the results were at best temporary. A former amateur bodybuilder and serial entrepreneur, Garry is no stranger to pain and stress. His quest for solutions to his own suffering is what ultimately led to the development of Fascial Maneuvers. With over 2 million new followers in 2022 alone, his message is striking a chord with people all over the world. The way this conversation came to be was paved by synchronicities and divine interventions which indicates for me the significance of this co-creation and the service it'll hopefully provide. Let me know how it lands with you. I love you all.

Ladies & Gentlemen of the podcast, I know, I know, I know. It's been a minute since we last spoke. That makes me even more excited to share today's episode with you all. I'm speaking with NY-based photographer and writer Collin Hughes. Collin has worked with some of the world's biggest brands like Nike, Amazon, Tommy Hilfiger, and more on a variety of projects, both commercial and editorial. I stumbled across his work through an old high school friend and was mesmerized by his eye and unique style of photography. I've been following Collin's journey for more than a decade, and his photos carry such a unique and tasteful ambiance that it was clear to me I wanted to explore who's behind the lens and get to know the person. We're free-flowing through all different kinds of topics, ranging from photography and Collin's early creative memories to fatherhood, integrity, presence, and so much more. I love you all and can't wait to share more conversations like this in the future with y'all. I love you.

"What has gone wrong on a major scale that human beings aren't relishing life?" Brothers & sisters, are you ready for that FIRE energy?! Today I'm speaking with Chrissie Fire Mane. Co-Founder of MANA, Chrissie has always been guided by the excitement of empowering people to be creators. Named 'chaqaruna' or Bridge-Person by the Q'ero, Wisdom Keepers of the Andes, Chrissie's north star is activating and rewilding humanity with modern and indigenous wisdom, reminding people of what is already inside but forgotten or suppressed. Chrissie has been facilitating transformational weekends, workshops and retreats around the world intensively since 2012, moving online also in 2017. The journey of motherhood has greatly shaped Chrissie's path, raising her two wild children travelling the world and sitting in sacred ceremonies, learning from elders. She has roots in activism, beginning at Greenpeace in the Press Office in the UK in 2000, combining her passions for communications with service, has launched numerous campaigns in frontline activism mainly in water conservation and more recently served on the New Earth Council as part of the Humanitad Foundation. As an artist, Chrissie was signed to Virgin Records, has toured and created albums and continues to use her love of poetry, singing and frequency to complement her style of leadership. Her spiritual path led her to the Peruvian Andes in 2012 where she was initiated as Chullu Chaqera, or Sweat Lodge Mama Qona in 2017. Simply, Chrissie draws from conscious motherhood and indigenous tradition to inspire her community back to the natural truth of things. I'm in awe of the polarity of Chrissie's being, the open-heartedness AND stability, power and discernment that she brings into the world. Let me know how this co-creation lands with you. I love that you're here.

"I remembered home." Aloha, beautiful podcast family! What a gift it is to share yet another inspiring, deep, and thoughtful conversation with you. Week after week, I still have to pinch myself that I get to do this. Today, I'm speaking with Robert W. Dean. Robert is a writer and filmmaker whose work is profoundly inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of New Mexico. With nature as his most profound teacher, Robert is on a mission to weave themes of unity and love into every story and project he undertakes. His diverse body of work highlights the urgent need for a radical shift toward recognizing our inherent connections across the globe. Driven by a firm belief in the power of community and collaboration, his endeavors seek to catalyze deeper global interconnectivity. Through his multifaceted career, Robert advocates for a world where humanity thrives in harmony, dedicated to forging a more harmonious future where every individual and ecosystem can flourish. I stumbled across Robert's work many moons ago and was mesmerized by his capture of the American West. My gravitation towards him shifted from being inspired by "the external" to Robert's sincere introspective journey towards self-realization. My intuition whispered into my ears that now would be a good time to reconnect with him after all these years, and I couldn't be more grateful for the fact that I did. Listen for yourself and let me know how this co-creation resonates with you.

"There's a part of me that cannot be satiated by this worldly experience." Grand rising, soul and podcast family! I'm excited to share yet another LIVE podcast episode with you - freshly out of the oven, taped and recorded in my beautiful new home in Bavaria. I sat down with my good friend and fellow seeker, Felix Wittmann. Felix is currently birthing his business as a somatic-spiritual coach, assisting people in coming into deeper embodiment of their true selves through nervous system work, trauma integration, and restoring relationship with God. His approach is founded on a synergy of trauma-informed somatic principles and a more intuitive and mystical approach. In his 1:1 coaching sessions, he creates safe and sacred spaces for people to explore, experience, and integrate their full spectrum human experience. I am deeply inspired by Felix's commitment and devotion to God and how he seeks to understand. I'm infinitely grateful for the connection with him, and to me personally, this is a testament to the work here on the podcast. Show yourselves, people! Unapologetically. That's the only way the world can respond to you on eye-level, meeting you where you're at, and providing you with people, places, and circumstances that are aligned for you. I love you.

"Relating to the podcast as a lifelong journey relieves pressure and allows for a more enjoyable experience." Grand rising, podcast family! Are you ready to dive deep into the waters of personal growth, podcasting, men's work, and accountability? Well, I've got a treat for you: This week, I'm speaking with Chris Geisler. Chris is a podcaster, men's coach, and founder of a men's health organization called 'Men Of Earth' - an online platform that supports men to come back into circle and dedicate time to inner work and self-leadership. Chris is dedicated to fostering spaces where people can begin to embrace the full spectrum of their humanity. With a mission to bring truth with compassion and invoke curiosity in all endeavors, he delves deep into the human experience, uncovering the patterns and behaviors that shape our lives. I'm so happy with the direction this podcast is heading, as these conversations really turn into an authentic representation of me and my guests' internal and external states. This one is a testament to this mission, and I thoroughly enjoyed Chris's light, his curiosity for life, dedication to truth, vulnerability, and sincere demeanor. I deeply cherish connections like these and can't wait to hear what it does for you.

"The thing that changed everything was choosing to do something different in this moment of awareness." Grand rising, soul family. Today, I bring you a beautiful little episode with ThaiHa Sloan. ThaiHa works as a somatic healing mentor, breathwork facilitator, and relationship coach, and recently gained prominence on the internet with her content around conscious communication and self-regulated behavior in relationships. Besides finding great value in her shares on social media, I became curious about the human behind this wisdom. So, I reached out. It turns out, ThaiHa struggled with severe eating disorders and body dysmorphia that led her onto the path of healing and recovery. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to speak with ThaiHa, not only about the things that she's teaching but also about her personal learnings and struggles. I found it beautiful to find a fellow spiritual seeker within ThaiHa, someone who investigates the human experience from a very curious, sincere, and deep place. That being said, enjoy this conversation between two souls who have come together with open hearts to share what's alive in this very moment. I'm honored to serve you in this way with these conversations.

"I experience God as a very sweet energy." How would you describe your relationship with God? Have you experienced unconditional love before? What is art, and how do you cultivate trust in your life? These are just the "tip-of-the-iceberg" questions of this week's episode with the incredible Paula Camacho. Paula is a force of nature, a divine artist, a powerful woman, a creative painter, and a seeker. Her art has inspired me in various ways and dimensions, and this conversation is a testament to what feels like 'divine intervention,' sort of co-creation. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite conversations I've had on the podcast so far, and I can't wait to hear your responses to it. The kingdom truly is within all of us.

"It's real if you allow it to be real." Grand rising, podcast and soul family! How are we all doing just days after the Equinox and with the official new year underway? This week, it brings me great joy to present a special episode centered around the power of connection through spoken word and conversation—specifically, the power of podcasting. With that said, I couldn't think of a more fitting individual to delve into this topic with than my brother, Harry Duran. Harry is the founder of Fullcast, a consultancy dedicated to supporting podcasters and conscious creators in bringing their visions and ideas to life through the medium of podcasting. I deeply admire Harry's ambition, dedication, and the drive that shines through his work. In addition to managing his business and hosting several podcasts himself, Harry is a Sacred Son—a committed seeker and an embodiment of masculinity whom I greatly respect. This episode serves as a testament to the transformative power that emerges from men's work, vulnerability, and accountability. I'm eager to hear how this resonates with each of you. Sending love to all.

"We're all walking each other home." Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of the podcast where we explore the human experience through conscious conversations! Yes, you read that correctly – we've got a new intro, everybody! You may have noticed that things got slightly quieter around the podcast over the last few weeks. So much has happened during this time, and after an intense period of relocating and moving, I'm finally back in the saddle. That being said, I'm deeply honored and grateful to share this week's very special episode with you: My interview at Yale University. After my conversation with Dr. Benjamin Doolittle, I was asked to be interviewed by him, as well as to answer some questions from fellow Yale students about my podcast. Writing all of this, it still seems very surreal. But I did it, and here it is. I was stunned and amazed by the incredible conscious community at Yale, the profound questions I was asked, and simply the opportunity to share space and time with such highly ambitious and intelligent souls.

"All of you is required." Good morning, soul and podcast family! Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Today, I am thrilled to share a deeply inspiring conversation with someone who has been a personal inspiration to me - Adam Jackson. As one of the founding members of the Sacred Sons movement, Adam wears many hats - a musician, singer, engineer, devoted husband, father, and leader. Having previously interviewed various leaders and facilitators from Sacred Sons, I eagerly anticipated delving even deeper into the roots of this transformative movement. What fuels Sacred Sons? Who is the man behind the images and videos we see online? What has Adam Jackson's journey been like, and what led him to commit to the path of men's work, healing, and alchemy? In this episode, we explore these questions and more, intertwining my own experiences and learnings from collaborating with Sacred Sons. Our conversation extends to the seasons of life, the pursuit of meaning and purpose, gratitude, family, community, and a myriad of other profound topics. I am excited to present this conversation, offering you a perspective and side of Adam that you may not have encountered before. So, without further ado, let's dive into this enriching dialogue! I love you.

"We don't use the natural world, we have a reciprocal relationship with it." Hey everybody, this week we're speaking about a combination of two of my favourite topics: Nature and Therapy. I'm speaking with Dr. Megan Delaney. Megan holds a PhD in Counselor Education from Montclair State University (MSU) and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Monmouth University (MU) in Long Branch, New Jersey. Her research explores the influence of natural world on our mental health and the use of Ecotherapy in clinical practice and the counselor education classroom. Trained in outdoor leadership through the National Outdoor Leadership School, Megan spent several years as a wilderness instructor for organizations including the National Wildlife Federation and Outward Bound. Today she infuses Ecotherapy in her counseling classroom as well as her private practice. This was a wonderful deep dive into the world of Ecotherapy, and how nature can act as a co-facilitator in healing processes. I'm excited to hear how this one lands with you and as always am grateful that you're here!

"I exist, therefore I matter." Soul family, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today, we have the pleasure of hosting Anton, a Yoga teacher, mens work facilitator, mindset coach, devoted husband, father, and son. Anton's ability to guide people through movement is something I experienced firsthand and was struck by from the get-go. I was deeply impressed by the ease and depth of Anton's knowledge and experience in the fields of Yoga, movement, flexibility, strength, and so much more. In this conversation, Anton and I explore the world of Yoga from his very own and unique perspective. We dive into the alternative (and maybe a little more critical) way of looking at the ever-so-famous Yoga tradition, talk about the concept of stability vs. fluidity in life and in our body, the comfort crisis, purpose, and much more. I really enjoyed speaking with Anton and his strong energy and presence. I admire his firm stance in life and how straight-forward and to the point he is. And so, I'm even more excited about what you'll take away from this conversation.

"Trauma is not in the event. Trauma is in the body." Greetings, beloved listeners! Today, I am thrilled to bring you a captivating conversation with the remarkable Tamsin Rickeard, a trailblazer at the intersection of Somatic Experiencing (SE), and manual therapy. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Certified Rolfer, Tamsin seamlessly weaves together the worlds of SE and Rolfing, recognizing the profound synergy between these two transformative approaches. During my time in the UK, I sought out individuals who, like Tamsin, embody the fusion of somatics and manual therapy. Tamsin's dedication to combining the wisdom of SE, created by Peter Levine, with the holistic approach of Rolfing adds a unique dimension to her work. Join us as we delve into her professional journey, exploring how she brings a trauma-informed approach to her practice, constantly awed by the body's innate wisdom to heal with the right interventions. As always, I'm so thankful that you're here.

"If it's not love, what is it then?" Grand rising, soul family. Today, we're exploring a favorite topic of the podcast community, as well as a personal favorite: Relationships! That being said, I couldn't be happier to have had the chance to speak with an absolute expert on the topic, Shems Heartwell. Shems has been honing and sharing his craft for 20 years. He has mentored with some of the most influential teachers in the fields of coaching, healing, relationship, and transformation. He is a licensed acupuncturist, certified coach, relationship guide, and Qigong teacher. What I found so fascinating about Shems is how he blends his experience and knowledge into a unique way of coaching and mentoring that is on the leading edge of the human potential movement. Shems is also a passionate athlete, gardener, and musician, living with his beloved wife, Achintya, on the beautiful island of Maui. Him and I initially connected at Sacred Sons Convergence 8, and it was clear from the get-go that I had to have him on the show to share his light with you. There's SO MUCH wisdom and valuable input in this episode around the topics of relationships, intimacy, sexuality, alchemy, co-regulation, shadow work, and much more. Also, I'm certain that no matter what kind of energy (masculine or feminine) you're dominantly identifying with or what relationship status you're in, you'll get something out of this one!

Grand rising, soul family, and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today, with a guest that I've wanted to have on ever since starting this project and even before. I'm speaking with Mark William Logan. In his own words, Mark is somebody who has 'allowed himself to die many times' and whose way of being and gifts are manifesting in a variety of forms and mediums: music, art, film, photography, the written word, poetry, rap, as well as space holding and facilitating. In my personal view, Mark is a true creative, a powerhouse who unapologetically offers his gifts, opinions, feelings, and fears to the world - fully aware of the potential pitfalls, blowbacks, obstacles, and mistakes that occur in the process. I admire Mark's strength and vulnerability, and throughout all these years of following him, I've always seen myself or large parts of myself within him. Enjoy this beautiful and rich episode and let me know what it did for you. I love you.

Welcome, beautiful people, to a deeply enriching episode of the podcast and the first one in 2024! I couldn't imagine a better way to start the year than with this episode and my guest, Sabine Kuegler. Sabine is the author of the best-selling book 'Child of the Jungle,' which also served as a foundation for the movie 'Jungle Child' with Thomas Kretschmann and Nadja Uhl from 2011. Sabine takes us with her and her immersive experiences, living among the Fayu tribe in the jungle of West Papua, Indonesia. She shares the profound wisdom she gleaned from growing up in the jungle, as well as her return and 5-year healing journey with shamans and plant medicines, which saved her from a deadly disease. This conversation is packed with incredible anecdotes, little stories, and indigenous wisdom, making me very excited to share it with all of you. I feel honored and deeply grateful to have had the chance to interview Sabine and, hopefully, expose some new parts of her amazing story in this conversation.

Hey everyone, the last episode of 2023 is here - and it is a SPECIAL one. I'm speaking with Ian Wogan from Treesources. Ian and I initially met at Sacred Sons Convergence 8 in Los Angeles and reconnected in Miami when I visited him and his family for a couple of days during my trip. Ian is an arborist, entrepreneur, father, devoted husband, and environmentalist. His life's work is dedicated to the protection, conservation, and stewardship of nature and landscapes within urban environments. Treesources stemmed out of the need to responsibly grow and incorporate our ecological resources within our ever-changing modern environment. Ian's team consists of conservationists, scientists, arborists, and designers. Ian had an immensely valuable and a deep effect on me and my personal development. His devotion, dedication, sincerity, and integrity are traits and values that I got to deeply admire and respect. I've learned so much about life, decision-making, fatherhood, responsibility, integrity, authenticity, nature, trees, and our ecosystem from Ian that I'm certain you'll get a lot out of this episode. That being said, THANK YOU ALL so much for your amazing support throughout my first year of podcasting. It has been an honor to serve all of you in this way and through these conversations. I'll work even harder in 2024 to deliver the best work and content for you to enjoy and get inspired by. Much love.

"The image is already there. I'm just chipping away at what it's not." Soul family, two days before gathering under the Christmas tree, I share with you a powerful conversation I had with a fellow brother and leading facilitator of Sacred Sons. Today, I'm speaking with men's work coach, Peter Eugène Bennett. Peter is a men's coach who also works with the Sons of Zion and the Sacred Sons. He has trained in Vipassana Meditation, Wim Hof, Nutritional Therapy, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Qigong, Tantra, and is currently training as a mentor & coach. His work now is focused on helping men reach their potential, creating healthy community spaces of brotherhood so they can be of service to the world and each other. I discovered Peter in a podcast interview he did with Danny Morel and was amazed by his free-flow sharings from the heart around his own shadow, inner child healing, celibacy, and much more. After meeting in person at Convergence 8 in Los Angeles, I decided to have him on the show and am grateful that I did. I personally share a lot of my journey in this episode and had the chance to receive immensely valuable insights from Peter. That being said, I sincerely hope and wish for you to enjoy this episode and gain a ton of value from it. Merry Christmas to you all. May you move well and spend meaningful time with your families during the holidays. Much love!

"How do I find the Self? You cease to leave." Hey everyone, I'm beyond honored and grateful to share today's episode with you. It's still surreal to say it out loud or write it out, but I took a walk with my spiritual teacher, mentor, and author of 'The Untethered Soul,' 'The Surrender Experiment,' and 'Living Untethered' - Michael Singer. As part of my recent trip to the United States, I made a promise to myself to visit the grounds of the Temple of The Universe and hopefully meet Mickey in person. As the universe would have it, I not only got to meet him but also took a one-on-one walk with him to discuss all the questions that have been on my mind and heart for so many years since I came in touch with Mickey's work. This episode is dedicated to my time there but, moreover, to all the beautiful people I've met at the temple, including Michael and his 'extended family' at the temple as well as the visitors. I'm deeply moved and eternally grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. In this episode, I'll share with you my experience on-site and walk you through my time with Michael. I'll share my biggest takeaways and some of the answers that Michael gave me in response to my questions. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00-06:24: Intro and Personal Disclaimer 06:25-24:45: Michael Singer: Background and Story 24:46-35:25: Temple of the Universe: Atmosphere and First Impressions 35:26-45:12: Meeting Michael Singer: Energy and feeling 45:13-1:13:18: Taking a Walk: My biggest takeaways and learnings

"Medicine is easy and everything else is hard." Dear podcast family, I sincerely hope this episode finds you well, wherever you are in the world during these challenging times. I am honored to share today's episode with you as I explore a slightly new territory. I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Benjamin Doolittle from Yale University. Ben serves as the Program Director of the Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program and is also the Medical Director of the Faculty-Resident Continuity Clinic. His practice focuses on addiction, Hepatitis C, HIV, and primary care, while his research interests delve into the intersection of medicine and spirituality, wellness, and burnout. Ben is also an ordained minister, holding an MDIV from Yale Divinity School, and he serves a local urban congregation. My intention with this conversation was to shed light on the topic of healing from a more scientific angle. I am genuinely curious to discover what prominent figures in the scientific community, such as those at Yale and Stanford, have to say about the benefits of a spiritual life, belief in something larger than ourselves, and other insights into human wellbeing, happiness, and fulfillment. Additionally, I am grateful to share that Ben has invited me to speak at Yale in March next year, which is something I am still wrapping my head around. Grateful for this life and for all of you. Thank you!

"The body is the battleground." Soul family, we're gathering today for another special episode. We're joined by a man who impacted me and my life profoundly during my time in the United States, more specifically at Sacred Sons Convergence 8. Today I'm speaking with Hunter Toran. Hunter was the tribe lead of the 'Hawthorne Clan' in which I was a part. The way he led and facilitated this experience for me and all other men was nothing short of deeply moving and profoundly impactful on various levels—emotionally, spiritually, physically. Hunter is a registered ISMETA movement educator and therapist, a Level II Spatial Dynamics Practitioner, and Practitioner of Biomechanics. With over 10 thousand clinical and teaching hours, and a lifetime of somatic exploration, Hunter shapes unique programs to assist individuals in overcoming pain and expressing their best selves in their personal and professional lives. In my opinion, he is a poet—someone who understands the subtle realms of life like very few. He is able to read souls and the land that surrounds him in a highly sensitive way, and I've learned so much from him. Hunter lives with his wife and three children in Seattle, Washington.

"We need more choosing love over everything else." Soul family, I'm so excited and happy to announce and reintroduce today's guest of the podcast. I'm speaking with Alison Armstrong once again. For the second time, Alison has come on to share her light and wisdom around the magic of relationships and love with us, and I couldn't be more delighted, especially because this time around, we're speaking live and in the flesh in Alison's living room! I had some rough topics in mind and heart leading up to this conversation, but as usual with the podcast and the magic of the moment, this particular conversation went into so many other realms of spirit, afterlife, soul connections, and much more. I've learned that love truly is a verb, that we are always connected to each other beyond space and time, and what we individually can do to bring more love and harmony into this world. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to conduct these kinds of meaningful interviews and even be in the physical presence of such incredibly wise and powerful beings such as Alison. She truly taps into divine wisdom when sharing, which you'll certainly feel in this episode. Much love to you!

"Men do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Regardless." As a German saying goes, 'All good things come in three,' and this episode marks the trilogy of what has been an epic journey of self-discovery, confrontation, and masculine alchemy. It signifies the third encounter with our most frequently invited guest on the show, the one and only Vince 'Matoska' Chafin. After Vince's and my initial conversation on the podcast, my personal journey into manhood began. Like an overflowing river slowly flooding every little chamber of my heart and spirit ever since, I have undergone profound changes - especially when it comes to my masculinity. Without Vince, I wouldn't have embarked on my most recent self-initiated rites-of-passage trip, let alone experienced all the internal processes, encountered people, explored places, and faced circumstances that have entered my life since getting to know him. I am beyond honored to now call Vince a friend, a fellow brother on this path of healing and transformation. As always, we covered a wide range of topics. Having both recently participated in Sacred Sons Convergence 8 before this conversation, we took some time to reflect on the powerful work that is being done in these containers.

"We are just light dancing with each other." We're back with another banger of a podcast episode featuring a familiar face, our previous guest, powerhouse, and spiritual badass: Anna Brown! I had the pleasure and honor of being the first-ever guest in her soon-to-be-opened Satsang garage—a place to gather in the flesh, a place of remembrance, and coming home to the timeless essence that we truly all are. My intention going into this conversation was to meet the human that is Anna, the mother, the daughter, the wife that she is and decided to be in this incarnation. I'm proud and glad about how Anna and I managed to dance within the realms of non-duality and timeless truths while also taking glimpses and detours through her own personal journey and inner world as a soul inhabiting this sensory suit we call the body. I'm honored to have taken the podcast this far and to be able to travel a foreign continent with these conversations and ever so powerful personal encounters. Thank you for coming along and being here.

"Home, I am home. The place that feeds my soul. It is right here. We are right here. Under the mountains and the sun. Rivers so clear. Rivers so clear." Today I'm sharing a different kind of episode with you all. This conversation was recorded within an hour of meeting each other and therefore holds a special place in my heart. It is dedicated to the time I spent on the vast land that is Boulder, CO and its beautiful mountains. Today I'm speaking with Alec 'Lautauro' Solimeo. Alec is a lifetime student and teacher of the art of fathering, grief and praise, the awakening of an indigenous soul together with the quieting of the imperial mind, earth stewardship and masculine alchemy. The pandemic and post-pandemic era has asked Alec to step further forward with his healing modalities that have been his life-studies. Working with hundreds of men a year in group facilitation capacities, Alec is now turning towards and tuning into the opportunity of delivering a more potent container for individual men and women looking to further their integration on their healing path.

"True healing comes from healing the root cause of pain." It is my honor and pleasure to welcome Nicoline Walsh on the podcast today. Nicoline is a Reiki practitioner and energy healer. She is also the loving mother of three and Luke's wife - who also has been on the show previously. During my visit at their beautiful home and in the "Healing Forest" just outside of Dublin, I sat down with Nicoline to explore the world of energy and dive deeper into what it is exactly she's doing within her work. I took a lot with me from this conversation, especially when it comes to the everlasting realization that really all of life is energy. How much healing we can receive from working with these naturally existent energies is something we explored in this conversation along many other topics. I'm so grateful for this experience and conversation. Thank you Nicoline and Luke for your love and trust. And thank you all for listening.

"Spiritual growth is nothing but practice." Today it is my pleasure to welcome an absolute powerhouse of a divine feminine woman onto the podcast who I wholeheartedly respect and admire: Michaela Aue. Michaela is a certified Yoga and Meditation teacher. She works with individuals as well as groups to assist and guide them towards getting to know themselves better and at a deeper level to ultimately live a more fulfilled, aligned and self-regulated life. I discovered Michaela through her very own podcast "Die Kunst du selbst zu sein" and I was in awe of her way of holding space for her guests and navigating meaningful conversations. I initially wanted to explore the world of meditation and mindfulness with her and got - as always - so much more than that. I'm so incredibly thankful for these conversations, especially when I get to meet my guests in person as I did with Michaela in her new place in Berlin. Thank you everyone for listening. I love you.

"Es ist so viel einfacher geworden Liebe zu empfinden." Ihr Lieben, ich erinnere mich noch sehr gut und genau an meinen ersten "Touchpoint" mit Micheal Singer. Es war ein Video mit dem Titel "What do you really want?". Seitdem ist viel passiert und die Message des Videos resoniert heute noch tief in mir und passt wie die Faust aufs Auge zu unserem heutigen Gespräch mit dem tollen Lenny Schönbach. Lenny ist ein ganz feiner Mensch mit einem extrem spannenden Lebenslauf, der sich diese Frage "Was macht uns eigentlich wirklich glücklich?" täglich in seiner Arbeit als Coach und Trainer für Achtsamkeit stellt. Denn ja, um was geht's denn eigentlich im Leben? Warum tun wir das, was wir tun? Was ist die Essenz? Diese und weitere Fragen haben wir uns gemeinsam näher angeschaut. Außerdem hat mich wirklich nochmal ein genauerer Blick auf Lennys Weg interessiert und wie er zu dem Mensch geworden ist, der er heute ist. Wir sprechen über seine Entscheidung mit 19 die Schule abzubrechen, seine Selbstständigkeit, seinen Weg von der Fitness-Industrie über das Online-Marketing und hinzu der Arbeit im Bereich Achtsamkeit und Zufriedenheit. Wir beide haben dieses Gespräch sehr genossen und hatten trotz aller Tiefe so viel Spaß zusammen, was sich hoffentlich auch auf euch als ZuhörerInnen überträgt. Ich freue mich auf eure Reaktion auf diese Episode und bin wie immer zutiefst dankbar, dass ihr da seid und zuhört. Von Herzen danke!

"There's beauty in pain." Beautiful people, a special episode is arriving on your audio & video player of choice today, as we're returning to our roots and revisiting where it all began: the journey of introspection. I went to the beach to record a long-overdue solo episode after more than 6 months. So much has unfolded in my personal life since then, and I truly felt compelled to record an intimate update episode for you. As is customary with the podcast, I shared from the heart with minimal filtration. The energies, synchronicities, encounters, and circumstances of my current life are aligning seamlessly with what I deeply understand to be my soul's calling and mission for this particular incarnation of mine.With that being said, I also want to express my gratitude for your presence in this movement and the community we're nurturing here. Your listenership is immensely appreciated, and it's a gift that's never taken for granted. Thank you so much for tuning in. Know that I hold deep affection for each and every one of you.

"Yoga to me is a combination of science and art which guides us towards the right way of living." Namaste, friends. Today, we're exploring one of my all-time favorite subjects and one of the biggest influences on my personal spiritual growth and expansion: Yoga. That being said, I was on the lookout for a suitable guest to address the topic of Yoga in an adequate way, and I'm so happy to say that I've found the perfect match. My guest today is Deep Kumar. Deep was born in India and began his journey into Yoga in 1994. He followed the path of traditional Yogis and the art and science of Yoga by learning at the Tapovan Dhyan Dham Vidhyapeeth, a classical Yoga ashram located at the foothills of the Himalayas. Thereafter, he pursued the advanced Yoga teacher training course at the world-renowned Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute. He is trained in various styles such as Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, and Meditation. He is also specialized in Yogic breathing (Pranayama) and other aspects of Yoga, all for the purpose of health and rejuvenation. To me, Deep is a true embodied Yogi – someone who not only has an unbelievably deep understanding of Yogic philosophy and theory but also is highly skilled in the fields of anatomy, physiotherapy, and Western science. In his work as a teacher, he effortlessly combines the ancient traditional Yogic teachings with 21st-century Western approaches to healing and holistic health. All of that is part of Deep's very own Yoga school called "Yoga New Vision".

"Die Menschheit fängt an, viel mehr Licht in sich zu tragen." Meine liebe Podcast Familie, mein Herz geht auf wie ich diese Zeilen hier an meinem Küchentisch schreibe - nach einiger Zeit wieder eine Episode auf deutsch. Heute spreche ich mit der großartigen Dr. phil. Milena Raspotnig. Milena arbeitet als Diplom-Psychologin, Heilpraktikerin, Therapeutin und Life-Coach. Ihre Schwerpunkte sind Psychotherapie, klassische Homöopathie, anthroposophische Medizin, Kinder und Frauenheilkunde sowie energetisches Arbeiten und schamanische Psychotherapie. In ihrer Arbeit verbindet Milena modernes, wissenschaftliches Wissen mit altem traditionellen Brauchtum und überliefertem Wissen, was ich persönlich für eine wahnsinnig spannende und inspirierende Kombination halte. Sie war über viele Jahre hinweg die persönliche Assistentin einer Schamanin und wurde nach langjähriger Meisterausbildung in eine Maya Curandero Linie sowie weitere weibliche Heilerinnen-Linien aufgenommen. Milena hat eine sehr feine, offene und kraftvolle Art und Energie, die sich während unserem Gespräch stark auf mich übertragen hat. Es gab in diesem Gespräch einige Momente, die bis jetzt in mir nachwirken und mich vor allem in Bezug auf die Weiblichkeit tiefgehend inspiriert, bewegt und vieles gelehrt haben. Milena ist sehr gut aufgestellt und bietet eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen Ressourcen und Möglichkeiten der Zusammenarbeit an, was ich an dieser Stelle nur herzlich empfehlen und erwähnen möchte. Viel Spaß, gute Unterhaltung und wertvolle Erkenntnisse wünsche ich dir von ganzem Herzen!

"You have responsibility for your kindgom. And for that you need to be able to say no and set a boundary." It is my pleasure to once again welcome the amazing Helge Hellberg to the podcast, this time in English, as the show has grown into an international sensation, and we both wanted to reach as many of you beautiful people out there! Helge is an internationally acclaimed executive coach, lay-ordained Buddhist teacher, musician, and artist. Let me share a bit about Helge's background for those who may not be familiar with him. Helge Hellberg is renowned for his expertise as an executive coach, guiding and empowering individuals from various walks of life. His spiritual journey and passion for personal development have also led him to become a lay-ordained Buddhist teacher. On top of that, he is a multi-talented individual with a deep love for music and art, adding a unique touch to his teachings and approach. Earlier this year, I attended one of Helge's workshops, and I must say, the impact it had on me is still ever present. This experience served as a perfect starting point for our conversation today. During our discussion, we delved into the fascinating topic of archetypes. As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, Helge's work effortlessly combines teachings from various schools, traditions, and lineages, all culminating in his profound exploration of archetypes. I was keen to learn how Helge became acquainted with archetypes, why they hold such power, and what insights we can draw from them to enrich our everyday lives. This episode is a beautiful exchange between two men who are both on their individual journeys, striving to become the best versions of themselves. Once again, I was reminded of the immense privilege I have in sharing time and space with someone as insightful and inspiring as Helge. Upcoming Workshop with Helge - "The Power of Archetypes and Your Authentic Self" - September 23/24 in Hamburg

"I think Qigong is the ultimate somatic therapy." Soul family, we're back with another episode! This week, I bring you Steve Macari. Steve spent his twenties and early thirties working within the finance industry as a hedge fund manager and saw his life turn upside down after a surfing accident. Being open, curious, and receptive to spirituality, shamanism, Qigong, and other forms of healing, Steve embarked on a journey of holistic health. He studied the mechanics of health, nutrition, and fitness with Paul Chek and worked as a health coach for numerous years. He later discovered Qigong for himself and began practicing while developing his very own healing technique called O.U.T. - Organize, Understand, Transmute. I recently stumbled across Steve's Qigong videos on Instagram and was instantly captivated. I always somewhat knew that I wanted to extend my spiritual practice and daily routine with more physical exercises, and I feel like I've finally found what I was looking for - thanks to Steve. I admire his calm, wise way of sharing his wisdom around those topics and the very approachable way of his practice with Qigong. Also, Steve's story beautifully displays how life can play out - if we let it, if we surrender. Enjoy!

"Love is not scarce. Love is the easy part." It is with profound reverence and the utmost respect and admiration for her work and shared wisdom that I present today's episode with the one and only Alison Armstrong. After Vince recommended Alison's work on the podcast, I conducted my own research and arrived at the same conclusion as he did when he said, "There's nobody on the planet who understands men and women better than she does." Alison's renowned work has been published worldwide, and she is a best-selling author of various books on intimacy, relationships, love, men and women, and polarity, including her notable work, "The Queen's Code." After conversing with Alison, the respect I hold for her wisdom has only grown stronger. It is truly captivating to witness her effortlessly flowing, the same flow or channeling that inspires her when she writes her books. We delved deep into how she came to write about these profound truths and insights regarding men and women, exploring the unique relationship she shared with her late husband, Greg, who passed away four years ago. We also discussed the importance of loving boundaries and maintaining a strong sense of self-love and self-respect as the foundation for intimate relationships. These topics resonate with me on multiple levels, making this episode one of my favorites. I am humbled to have had the opportunity to speak with Alison, and I am thrilled to announce that this will not be the last time we hear from her. We are already working on a follow-up episode, so stay tuned. From the depths of my heart, I send infinite love to all of you.

"Being the student is where you wanna be at." Dear podcast family, this week, I am thrilled to share with you a profound episode featuring a truly special guest: Luke Walsh from "The Healing Forest". Luke is not only a father and a podcast host, but also a forest bathing guide. He is the owner and lead facilitator of "The Healing Forest," a sanctuary where he and his wife facilitate profound healing work within the realms of shamanism, men's and women's circles, kundalini activation, Reiki, and much more. I stumbled upon Luke and his remarkable work through his own podcast, "The Healing Forest Podcast," which I wholeheartedly recommend for you to listen to. Luke's ability to hold space and genuinely connect with his guests is mesmerizing. From the moment I began listening to him speak and pose questions, I found myself fervently jotting down notes. His presence in the world is truly extraordinary—gentle, purposeful, and beautiful. It was an absolute honor to share time and space with Luke, delving into topics such as the therapeutic power of nature, the essence of manhood, and the profound journey of fatherhood. We also explored the art of holding space for those in need. Luke's words and his work have deeply moved me, and I can only urge you to explore the offerings he provides. Thank you for being here. I love you.

"The planet is one living organism." Soul family, we're back with a mind- and heart-blowing episode today. I'm speaking with British-Venezuelan scientist, author, and ecologist, Dr. Stephan Harding from Schumacher College in Dartington Trust. Stephan was born in Venezuela in 1953 and came to England at the age of six. Since childhood, he has had a deep fascination with the natural world, and his scientific mindset led him to pursue a degree in Zoology at the University of Durham, followed by a doctorate on the behavioral ecology of the muntjac deer at Oxford University. There are very few people alive today who have comparable insights into the fields of deep ecology, Gaia, and the spirituality of nature, which made this a truly special conversation. I'm humbled and deeply grateful to have shared space with Stephan and to have him share very personal lessons, insights, theories, and experiences of his own interactions with nature, spirit, and everything beyond. I know that as a species, we're facing a lot of challenges right now, and that's why I believe this episode is even more valuable and important to share. There's hope—the answers lie within each one of us.

"I'm not your healer. Come on people, start looking within." Hello dear podcast family! This week we're diving deep into the topics of sex, pleasure, intuition, tantra and one of my favourite divination tools: Theta Healing. Today I'm speaking with Franziska Block aka franziflows. Franzi is a Theta Healing practicioner, tantra- & yoga teacher and a writer & poet. After checking out Franzi's work online, I was amazed by her charisma and knowledge around the deeper questions and topics of life. Shortly after we've connected, I went on a Theta Healing session with Franzi and believe me when I say that it was nothing short of transformational. This work is so deep, powerful and profound - it's really amazing. In this particular conversation, we went deep into the mechanics of Theta Healing and how this beautiful work can help you to reconnect to your true essence. Of course, we touched on much more including relationships, love and self-love.

"Das Spirituellste, was wir tun können, ist Traumaarbeit." Ihr Lieben, heute habe ich aus mehreren Gründen eine besondere Episode für euch. Ich übertreibe nicht, wenn ich sage, dass das eine der intensivsten, tiefsten und auch ehrlichsten Episoden ist, die ich bisher aufgezeichnet habe. Heute spreche mit Lars Basczok. Lars ist somatischer Mystiker und lehrt moderne und traumaintegrative Bewusstseinsarbeit. Er arbeitet mit Menschen die am Aufwachen, an verkörperter Lebendigkeit und Traumaintegration interessiert sind. Ausgebildet in spiritueller, systemischer und psychologischer Gruppen als auch Einzelbegleitung, arbeitet er seit 12 Jahren mit Menschen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Seine Passion ist es Räume zu halten in denen es möglich ist aus uns selbst heraus, im eigenem Tempo, wieder vollständig zu werden und im Kontakt mit uns Selbst das Wunder des menschlichen, verkörperten Bewusstseins zu realisieren. Ich habe wahnsinnig viel aus dem Gespräch mit Lars mitgenommen und merke, dass er mit vielem so Recht hat. Mich würde eure Meinung hierzu sehr interessieren und ich möchte euch gerne dazu einladen, eure Gedanken und Gefühle über unser Gespräch auf der für dich richtigen Plattform mit mir zu teilen. Vielen Dank und happy listening!
