July 15, 2025 • Christofer Lövgren

Christofer speak with writer Sasha Chapin about spirituality and connection. They discuss Sasha's spiritual biography, the interplay between awakening and emotional healing, being Comfortable Here, everyday interaction after non-duality, discernment and preferences, conceptual vs phenomenological Self, the potential problems with focusing too much on connection, and more.

Sasha Chapin is a writer, meditator, coach, and normal guy living in California. He went through a totally predictable pipeline where spirituality started to appeal after achieving his strivey childhood dreams didn’t quite fix the hole in his heart. He is passionate about figuring out how to live a spiritual life that is firmly rooted in this world as it is.
