In this episode of The Aether, host Nicole Johnstone is joined by multidisciplinary artist and educator Peter Bussigel to explore the phenomenon of spoon bending — also known as psychokinesis.

Nicole and Peter recount their firsthand experience at Lily Dale, where ordinary spoons bent effortlessly in their hands, blurring the boundary between matter and mind. In a shared exploration, the conversation shifts into Peter’s creative practice, where art, sound, and form intersect with the unseen forces of intention and embodied consciousness.

Together, they examine the role of intention, creativity, and the mind’s miraculous ability to influence the physical world.

In this first journey into The Aether, host Nicole Johnstone and filmmaker Ivan Nevesenko explore the archetypal gate of Death — not as an ending, but as a corporeal threshold. Ivan shares his experiences with thanatophobia (fear of death), chronophobia (fear of time), and the life-altering presence of sleep paralysis, revealing how these states became catalysts for transformation. Together, they reflect on the ancient motif of katabasis the descent into the underworld (and the title of Ivan's newest film), the paradox of non-duality, and the initiatory power of grief, loss and acceptance.
