Podcasts

Two conversation formats about meditation, change, farewells, loss and lived spirituality.

Roots of Ascension is created together with Shambhu Salminen and explores meditation, consciousness and lived spirituality. In Hit by a Butterfly, I speak with changing guests about personal experiences, transitions and the questions that can arise from them.

Roots of Ascension is in English. Hit by a Butterfly is in German and English.

Roots of Ascension

Roots of Ascension is a joint podcast by Shambhu Salminen and Raphael Alexander.

In our conversations, we explore meditation, consciousness, spirituality and the question of how spiritual practice actually shows up in one’s own life. The focus is on personal experiences, different perspectives and the questions that can arise along a spiritual path.

Hit by a Butterfly

Hit by a Butterfly is a podcast with personal conversations in German and English about meditation, change, farewells and loss.

I speak with people about experiences that changed something in their lives: transitions, relationships, grief, spirituality and what sometimes only becomes understandable in retrospect.

I’m not interested in perfect stories or finished answers. I want to know what someone actually experienced and what has stayed with them.
