Exploring Reality, Maybe
Exploring Reality, Maybe podcast explores the nature of reality, what the mind, intellect and ego might be and how to play with perception, identity and the ego.
We are interviewing neuroscientists, quantum physicists, biologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, plant medicine scientists, tantric mystics and artists to explore these issues. At the end of each podcast, a non-dual tantric practice will be shared to “relax” the intellect and “melt” reality so an expansive sense of consciousness is experienced throughout your day.
