    Episode 166: “Human” Nature with guest Sarah Radtke
    May 31 2022

    There are many similarities, and - of course - many differences between humans and other primates (e.g., chimpanzees and bonobos). What can we learn about our human experience and psychology when we look at animal behaviour and evolution? Tune in for an in-depth look at how the prevalence of certain characteristics in other animals can ultimately help humans to better understand themselves.

    Episode 165: Everything is Connected with guest Dr. Howard Eisenberg
    May 17 2022

    The belief that you are an entity that is separate from everything that surrounds you is false. You may look at yourself in the mirror and disagree – you most certainly appear to have boundaries that are distinct from the objects and people around you. But reality isn’t always as it seems – and luckily for us, science is starting to show these connections. For example, the energy from your heart radiates many feet out from your body and – as we learned in Ep.159 - when you put your feet on the earth, it changes the viscosity of your blood. Tune in to learn how we need to reconceptualize reality for a better future for all of humanity, Mother Earth, and future generation.

  • Episode 164: The Three Human Brains: Head, Gut, & Heart with guest Dr. Howard Eisenberg

    Episode 164: The Three Human Brains: Head, Gut, & Heart with guest Dr. Howard Eisenberg
    May 3 2022

    From where does consciousness originate? Many people would intuitively say from the brain – your head brain to be more specific. But, in fact, humans have three brains: the head brain, the gut brain and the heart brain. Each plays a critical role in your human experience. In fact, some argue that we (humans) would benefit from getting our head brain out of the way, so that we can experience reality in a more imaginative, intuitive, and heart-centred way. Tune in to learn more!
