A combination of conversations, meditations, hypnotic techniques, guided journeys and intellectual inquiries—using sound, music, language and curiosity to explore healing, spirituality, consciousness and imaginative reality-tunnelling for the 21st century and beyond.
"Convexplorations is an intellectually fierce and artistically immersive project built specifically for those who crave unfiltered depth".
"Convexplorations applies academic, systemic, and legal theories to examine the exhaustion and shifting consciousness of our entire global culture. It operates on two distinct wavelengths: highly rigorous, uncompromising academic interviews on one side, and deeply layered, hypnotic soundscapes designed to physically shift your system on the other. It is an avant-garde, uncompromised passion project. While it lacks mainstream ratings, the technical and conceptual quality is exceptionally high—making it a perfect fit if you want a podcast that challenges your mind while intentionally calming your body".

'Hydrojustice'—Moving Towards Horizontality—with Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos

In short, hydrojustice is the just confluence of all bodies, human and no...
