In 17th-century England, women weren’t meant to preach, write, or speak in public. And yet, in the chaotic swirl of civil war, collapsing institutions, and religious upheaval, early Quaker women did exactly that. Women Who Refused to Be Silent spoke, they travelled, they wrote, and they claimed spiritual authority—risking imprisonment, public flogging, and social humiliation. This was The Real Quaker Beginning.

In this episode, Stuart Masters joins host Philipp Kobald to discuss the radical faith that made this possible. The early Quaker movement empowered ordinary people—women and men alike—to experience a direct, inward connection to the Holy Spirit. This faith encouraged personal transformation, bold public action, and a spiritual agency previously denied to most, particularly women.

You will learn how the social, political, and religious turmoil of the time created the perfect conditions for a revolutionary movement to emerge. The episode also traces the charismatic lives of early Quaker leaders like George Fox, James Naylor, and Margaret Fell, whose courage, vision, and devotion shaped the movement’s enduring principles.

📌 Key Takeaways

• How early Quaker women defied societal limits to speak, travel, and preach
• The ways social and political upheaval created space for radical spiritual movements
• The embodied, transformative power of faith in action
• How Quaker principles of truthfulness, peace, and equality were forged under persecution
• Why their courage and radical inclusivity still resonate in a modern context

💬 Quotes from the Episode

• “Women preached in public, travelled, wrote, and confronted authority—and society treated it as a direct attack.” —Stuart Masters
• “Only an Englishman can stay this calm while talking about flogging.” —Philipp Kobald

What if the seventeenth century wasn’t a distant chapter in history—but a mirror for the world we live in today?

The 17th Century Is Back—Monarchs, “Witches,” and the Politics of Fear

In this episode, Philipp Kobald sits down with historian Katie Dean, PhD, to explore why the 17th century feels so unsettlingly familiar. Together, they examine a period marked by collapsing monarchies, religious extremism, witch hunts, and societies ruled by fear and superstition—and why these patterns are resurfacing now.

This is not a nostalgic trip into the past. It’s a map of how fear shapes civilizations, how women became targets when they stepped into power, and how trauma—and the systems built on it—continue to influence modern society.

It’s a conversation about history, psychology, spirituality, and human behavior in times of chaos.

What You’ll Learn

• Why the 17th century mirrors today’s political and social climate
• How power, panic, and accusations of “witchcraft” were used as political tools
• Why superstition rises during moments of instability
• The emotional + societal cost of living in an age defined by fear
• How healing trauma changes societal structures more than ideology ever could
• Why studying history is essential in chaotic times—not optional

Memorable Quotes

“Superstition replaces spirituality the moment fear enters the room.” —Philipp Kobald

“If we’re going to survive this next transition, healing trauma matters more than ideology.” —Katie Dean, PhD

About the Guest

Katie Dean, PhD earned her doctorate in History from Cambridge University and later developed a healing and self-reconnection system using sacred geometry and color. She bridges academic insight with a holistic understanding of trauma, spirituality, and the human experience.

• The corporate mindset Kristine left behind and the soul intelligence she discovered.
• How AI’s evolution could push us to reinvest in consciousness.
• What it really means to bring science and spirituality into one clear conversation.

What happens when we try to control the most natural act on Earth?

In this deeply human conversation, Philipp Kobald sits with Kiley Tkaczyk Jones—a pre-conception, birth, and postpartum doula—to explore the mystery, surrender, and raw spirituality of giving birth.

Together, they question how modern medicine has turned birth into a procedure instead of a passage—and what it would mean to bring back trust, ritual, and consciousness to the beginning of life. In short, Why Modern Birth Lost Its Magic (and How to Get It Back)

This episode isn’t only about childbirth—it’s about letting go, learning to trust the unknown, and remembering that some transitions in life can’t be planned. They can only be lived.

💬 Key Takeaways

• Why the real power of birth lies in surrender, not control
• How modern systems disconnect women from their intuition
• What birth reveals about fear, death, and awakening
• Why rebuilding the “village” around mothers matters more than ever
• How “containing discomfort” becomes the first spiritual lesson of parenthood

We live in a culture that worships the mind—logic, constant thinking, endless analysis. But what if true wisdom and healing aren’t in the brain at all, but in the heart? Your Heart Remembers What Your Mind Forgets

In this episode of Spiritual Conversation, produced by HolisticCircle and hosted by Philipp Kobald, cardiologist and Sufi practitioner Dr. Kirk Laman shares why real healing begins in the heart. Drawing from his new book Inner Peace Now, he introduces a simple yet radical practice: breathing the sound “ah” into the heart until the layers of trauma begin to dissolve.

This is not another fleeting wellness trend—it’s a reminder that your heart remembers more than your mind ever will.
