What if consciousness is not an accidental epiphenomenon of matter, but—just as mystics have suggested for ages—fundamental to reality itself?

From this perspective, many unconventional experiences and so-called “paranormal” phenomena gain a deeply intuitive explanatory ground.

Questions such as what, if anything, survives death are no longer ridiculous, but profoundly valid.

In this engaging conversation, Hans van Veen and Cliff Green explore the transformative impact of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Cliff shares his own childhood NDE, recounting a life-altering moment of surrender and unconditional love experienced while drowning. This encounter deeply shaped his understanding of life, relationships, and the essential role of empathy and human connection.

The dialogue also explores how NVC can serve as a powerful tool for fostering deeper understanding and authentic connection, emphasizing the sacredness of shared experience and the human need for validation in communication.

Cliff reflects on the challenges of integrating his NDE into everyday life and his longing to connect with others who have had similar experiences. He highlights the importance of creating safe spaces for open, non-judgmental dialogue around these profound topics.

The conversation ultimately becomes a call to action: to explore our own experiences more deeply, to listen with empathy, and to help cultivate a culture of understanding, validation, and connection around near-death experiences and beyond.

In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Nikolaj (philosopher and Jungian psychotherapist) and Hans explore the living heart of Jungian psychology, dream work, and the dialogue between philosophy, spirituality, and everyday life.

They dive into the power of dreams and active imagination as gateways to the unconscious, and how working consciously with images can support individuation, creativity, and emotional integration. Nikolaj shares personal reflections on his own transformational journey, including how dreams guided him through periods of uncertainty and profound self-discovery.

The conversation weaves together Jungian thought and Eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhism, highlighting their shared emphasis on imagery, inner experience, and the delicate balance between ego strength and surrender to the unconscious. Together, they emphasize why working with the unconscious requires structure, grounding, and responsibility—so insight becomes embodied rather than overwhelming.

I deeply enjoyed learning from and speaking with Nikolaj; I hope you will too.

In this powerful episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Steve March, founder of Aletheia Coaching, for a deep and multi-faceted exploration of lasting psychological transformation and true inner freedom.

Steve explains how memory reconsolidation—the neurological process activated within Aletheia Coaching—can dissolve limiting patterns. He also shares how psychedelics can support genuine self-discovery when used in a safe, skillfully guided setting.

We talk about what it really means to live from wholeness rather than fragmentation, and we touch on an exciting new direction Steve is unfolding: the art of ontological design.

Steve also explores why attunement is at the heart of meaningful coaching, how AI is reshaping both our inner and outer worlds, and why nonduality is far more practical than most people think. Together, we look at the personal and societal wound of separation—and how healing it opens the door to love, clarity, and compassion for ourselves and for future generations.
