  • #7 Avatar 2: The Way of How to Save Humanity | Life Lessons in a Movie Style

    What can Avatar 2 teach us about Life? Short answer: A lot! 


    Avatar is an amazing movie directed by James Cameron with the goal of making humanity aware of its current status. We loved it and share the things that stood out to us the most and the lessons we take from it. As much as possible we try to not spoil anything for you. 


    If you are interested in getting a great perspective of what humanity is currently doing and its trajectory watch the movie. Then check out the episode again and it will make so much sense. 


    We will go deep into the following topics:



    • The connection between humans and mother earth

    • The most emotional scenes

    • What can we learn from the Navi

    • What is nature creating for us?

    • How are we destroying our environment?

  • #5 Your Shadow Aspects | How to Work with Them?

    What is your shadow side and how is it different from your normal personality trait?


    In this episode, we dive deep into the dark side of ourselves, the shadow aspects. As always, we approach the topic through a psycho-spiritual lens to make sense of our own lives.  We discuss why it is important to bring some light to the shadow of oneself. Also, as always, we share some of our stories working with our shadows and the best way to deal with them. 


    More questions that we discuss are:

    What's the downside of not working with your shadow?

    How to differentiate between your normal personality and the shadow?

    Where does the shadow come from and why do we have it? 


    If that doesn't sound exciting I don't know what does. So lean back and maybe have a journal close by this one is gonna be deep. 


    As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or comments through our websites or IG.

  • #3 Alchemizing Outrage | Turn Your Trigger into Growth

    Ok, let’s start with defining what outrage is before we talk about it.


    Outrage: feeling when injustice happens. Not just to you in this moment but maybe even to your family or heritage. Almost as if someone is taking away your dignity.


    Let’s talk about it.


    Highlights:

    Strategies to deal with outrage.


    Gender injustice in a Thai monastery.


    Seeing the bigger picture of injustice.


    How can I solve the systemic injustice and not just lash out?
