In this conversation, Monika Jiang, a German-Chinese community builder, writer and facilitator, explores the profound distinction between loneliness and "oneliness" - a historical term predating our modern understanding of isolation. Through her work building communities and facilitating gatherings, Monika illuminates how our current societal structures have led to increased disconnection, despite being more technically "connected" than ever before.

The discussion delves into how modern life, particularly in Western cultures, has created an environment where authentic connection has become increasingly rare. Monika shares her journey of discovering how loneliness isn't merely a personal challenge but a societal issue that requires collective healing. She emphasizes that true connection often requires stepping away from the performative aspects of social media and professional life to embrace more vulnerable, authentic interactions.

Throughout the conversation, Monika explains her approach to community building and healing through structured gatherings that combine theoretical understanding with practical, embodied experiences. She highlights the importance of creating safe spaces where people can explore connection through various modalities, including movement, active listening, and conscious touch, while maintaining a balance between addressing deep topics and maintaining a sense of lightness and play

In this powerful episode, Joshua Fineman, founder of Mensch, shares his journey into facilitating men's work and the transformative power of male community. Drawing from his personal experience transitioning from running a creative agency to becoming a men's work facilitator, Joshua explains how regular gatherings of men create spaces for authentic connection, emotional expression, and personal growth.

The conversation explores the unique challenges men face in modern society, particularly around emotional expression and seeking support. Joshua describes how men's work provides a structured, intentional environment where men can "take off their armor" - whether that armor manifests as aggression and standoffishness or people-pleasing and conflict avoidance.

Through powerful examples and personal stories, Joshua illustrates how consistent participation in men's work leads to subtle but profound transformations in how men show up in their relationships, careers, and daily lives. He emphasizes that transformation isn't about dramatic changes but rather small, conscious choices that shift the trajectory of one's life "half a millimeter" at a time.

In this episode, Kerstin Liener, a shamanic practitioner, coach, and intuitive healer, shares her journey into the world of healing, particularly focusing on the powerful technique of constellation work. This method, developed by Bert Hellinger in the late 1970s, allows individuals to explore and heal dynamics within their family systems and other aspects of their lives.

Kerstin explains how constellation work can reveal hidden patterns and traumas, even those passed down through generations. She describes the process as a way to physically observe relationships between different parts of a system, whether represented by people in a group setting or figurines on a table. This tangible representation allows clients to see, experience, and ultimately heal deep-seated issues.

Throughout the conversation, Kerstin emphasizes the importance of accessibility in healing work. She discusses her unique approach of combining various modalities, including shamanic practices, EMDR, and emotional code work, to meet clients where they are. Kerstin also touches on the challenges of transitioning from a corporate career to healing work and the process of "coming out of the spiritual closet." The episode concludes with valuable advice for aspiring healers and information on how listeners can connect with Kerstin for sessions, either in person or remotely.
