¿Alguna vez has vivido el final de un ciclo, relación o proyecto compartido con una persona que te importa profundamente?¿Te has preguntado cómo honrar algo que llega a su final, sin perder la conexión, aunque duela?

En este “bonus episode” Christine se sienta con sus amigas y colegas Nana y Martha, con quiénes compartió casi una década el proyecto musical Passiflora, para sincerarse sobre cómo navegaron las aguas turbulentas de la salida de Chris del proyecto, mientras guiaban un viaje de un grupo de 20 mujeres por las mágicas Dolomitas, en Italia.🇮🇹✨

Es una conversación emotiva sobre la honestidad, las rupturas y el poder del perdón.

Gracias a todes por escuchar, hasta la tercera temporada!

Warning: this episode openly discusses suicide.

In our last episode of this season, we had the opportunity to speak to Mercedes Kostucki, a Belgian trans woman who shares her raw and courageous story of transformation. Mercedes openly discusses her journey through gender transition and the struggles she faced, including suicidal thoughts, as she fought to live authentically in a world that often rejects those who don't conform.

We dive into the emotional and psychological challenges of transitioning and the weight of family and social expectations. Mercedes speaks with vulnerability about the darkest moments of her life and the hard won path that eventually led her to self-acceptance. A testament to resilience and the courage to embrace who you truly are, her story speaks to the healing power of intimacy and connection.

En este episodio, el intelectual Ignacio García nos comparte el relato de su profunda transformación: primero como un abogado de derechos humanos con enfoque completamente racional, hasta cultivar el camino espiritual que fue instigado por el amor de su vida y familia.

A través de su vínculo con la naturaleza, representado por una majestuosa ceiba, y su decisión de adoptar, nos muestra cómo el amor transformador lo llevó a deconstruir viejos patrones patriarcales y a redescubrir su propósito. Su historia refleja un delicado equilibrio entre su ejercicio profesional como abogado y su vida espiritual, mientras construye una familia que incluye tanto hijos biológicos como cósmicos.

In this episode we explore the life of Eva Dalak, a Palestinian Muslim woman who grew up in Jewish Israel, attended a Christian school and ended up in Costa Rica- the country without an army. Eva's life has been profoundly marked by war. As a young person, she learned to survive by disconnecting from her emotions and fighting for her rights. She shares how her father's poignant question, "How is your soul?" helped her confront internal struggles like fear, shame and anger. Later, a surprising diagnosis that left her blind during the pandemic, led her to discover the power of community; the importance of embracing a new identity; and the healing potential of allowing oneself to receive love.

Her story is a testament to the transformative potential of crisis: the emergence of a new self as a result of life's trials is possible. Tune in to hear how Eva made "honey from her darkness" by shaping her work in conflict resolution and inviting people on both sides of the conflict to look inward in order to truly achieve peace.

En este episodio especial, grabado en el entorno sagrado de Rishikesh, India, junto al río Ganges, nuestra anfitriona comparte una conversación íntima con Erika Luna Cubillos, una amiga y hermana que ha sido una pieza clave en su vida. Erika, fisioterapeuta e instructora de yoga, se une para una charla que va más allá de una simple entrevista, explorando profundas experiencias personales y el poder transformador de la amistad. Juntas, reflexionan sobre su tiempo en la India y los desafíos y aventuras que Chris enfrentó para llegar allí, pero cómo la vida se encargó de que todo se diera para que pudiera experimentar de este retiro maravilloso.

Este episodio es una exploración profunda de peregrinajes, rituales y el poder de la amistad en un lugar muy especial para ambas.

In this episode, we explore how power dynamics can lead us to relinquish our free will and the valuable lesson of reclaiming it. Laura Killingbeck, while navigating complex power dynamics in an intentional community in Costa Rica, realized that sometimes the only thing you can change is yourself. With this insight, she grabbed her bicycle Enigma, and cycled hundreds of kilometers along the Pacific coast.

Throughout her journey, Laura discovered that her body was her greatest teacher and nature her greatest inspiration. By adopting a perspective of curiosity and humility, she learned that by visiting the darkest and deepest places within herself, she could reclaim her true sense of fulfillment.
