Ep 10 - Keren Cogan | A Shaman’s Wisdom Revealed: Learn to Dance with Existence

Épisode 10

mercredi 26 mars 2025Durée 01:43:14

Welcome back beautiful souls! This week, Keren Cogan shares how shamanism is not limited to indigenous cultures but is a universal practice that connects us to our inner wisdom. A wisdom that is deeply rooted in the body, women’s wombs, and our ability to discern between other’s energy and our own’s.


We also explore the relationship between technology and consciousness, why surrendering to life might save you, and look at trauma and healing in a new light. Finally, we also delve into the importance of being present in the moment, why the darkness isn’t to be feared, and how surrendering to life's flow and embracing nature's intentions can lead to profound healing and awareness.

Adrian Kuipers is a musician, filmmaker, photographer and the creator of Breathing Concerts. During filming for the documentary series The Primordial Code Adrian discovered something magical: the power of churches, with their sacred geometry and perfect acoustics. He also realized the ancient wisdom of gathering together—something humans have done since the beginning of time for their spiritual and physical well-being. A safe space where everyone feels supported. Adrian felt this sense of gathering was missing in our Western digital world, and so the Breathing Concerts were born.

Épisode 6

mercredi 26 février 2025Durée 02:02:42

Daniel Philips is a life coach focusing on helping others build a soul aligned business and life on their own terms. He’s also helped me personally overcome obstacles, make a big shift and live the life I truly want to live (of which this podcast is a big part, by the way). He made me realize in detail just how powerful we all are in creating our own life’s experience and for that reason alone I know you will get so much out of this conversation.


In this episode, Dan shares open-heartedly about his own journey to move to Portugal with his family and what all the challenges and fears taught him about embracing change. We also explored the the significance of self-love, intuition and the connection to something bigger in navigating life's uncertainties. Dan and I dive deep into the themes of personal responsibility, the impact of societal systems and the potential for growth through challenges, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of ourselves, love, and consciousness as a whole.


If you’re looking to find more freedom in your mind and true alignment in your life, this one’s for you. Enjoy!

Épisode 5

Mayke Niestadt takes us through the dynamics of masculinity and femininity, the magic that occurs when both energies are fully embodied within a relationship, and the complexities of love, relationships, and healing. She dives deep into the concept of sacred union, conscious relationships, and the importance of surrendering to divine will.


The episode also touches on societal expectations regarding gender roles, the significance of inner work, and the vulnerability that comes with true connection. Ultimately, Mayke highlights the transformative power of union for personal growth and spiritual liberation, contrasting it with the concept of polyamory.

Ep 4 - Aydin Shahidi | The Universe Is a Love Story: Using Nature’s Wisdom to Create, Connect & Heal

Épisode 4

mercredi 12 février 2025Durée 02:33:04

Aydin Shahidi is one of the most fascinating people I’ve met in a long time. Already upon our first contact last year we connected instantly and I just couldn’t stop listening to him as he was bridging some of the biggest challenges of our society with the worlds of nature, love, and consciousness. 


Aydin and I went deep into the structure of reality, the complexity of nature and how, according to him, we’ve been looking at our societal problems all wrong. We played with questions like What is love? What is the nature of life? What does it mean to be human? and How can we use a different perspective of the workings of the universe to heal, connect and create a more beautiful world? I hope Aydin’s unique perspective and the thought-provoking questions he raises brings you something new and inspiring.

Ep 3 - Tom Verstappen | From Crisis to Connection: How Self-Love Can Transform Your Life

Épisode 3

mercredi 5 février 2025Durée 01:29:53

Tom Verstappen is one of the most inspiring examples of transformation that I know. As you’ll hear in this episode, Tom continued to show up for himself during difficult times to eventually turn the tide around, and build something that's not only greater than himself, but is also serving a purpose in community and society. We talk about the power of self-love as Tom shares some deeply personal stories about the toughest time of his life, slowly allowing himself to feel all the emotions and heal from within. Tom also opens up about how cacao and plant ceremonies have changed his outlook on life, what fatherhood taught him, and why he is now focused on bringing people together in sacred spaces & ceremonies through his business & brand Cacaosito. I hope you will enjoy this heart-opening conversation. 


Tom & Cacaosito also have a special offer for listeners of the Spirit Unfolding podcast: Use code “SPIRIT10” for 10% off your bag of organic ceremonial cacao from Cacaosito: https://cacaosito.nl/ You can order any size & shipping is available throughout Europe.

Ep 2 - Arun Thompson | How to Lead From the Heart and Build Deeper Relationships

Épisode 2

mercredi 29 janvier 2025Durée 01:19:03

Arun Thompson is a men’s coach, therapist and facilitator that I've had the pleasure of sharing a space with a couple of times, and every time I’m touched by his passion, wisdom and talent for touching people’s hearts with his words. In this episode we dive into the stigma men experience around feeling feelings, what they can do to live and lead from the heart, and how being present in your body is a game changer.

Arun also shares practical tips and best practices on coming back to yourself and living a life of truth that he's cultivated through years of doing the work himself and leading many men to a more authentic life. We touch on the need for radical honesty and the healing that comes from embracing one's true self. And last but not least, we went deep into the topic of relationships and intimacy with Arun sharing some beautiful stories of bravery and connection that still give me goosebumps.
