• Interview with Dagny Hov
    Dec 3 2025
    “ I feel Relatefulness is a practice which really refines your perception and reality and expands [it] over time. [It] expands your perception and you notice more. And that to me is one of the most significant things with it  because it seems to me that you can  live your whole life and not notice a lot of…your reality and what's going on with other people and yourself. And to actually do this practice and be able to expand your perception of reality and notice more... has been extremely valuable to me.” —Dagny Hov

    In today’s episode, we get to know Dagny Hov, a fellow Relateful facilitator. She shares the story of her first Circling immersion 11 years ago, which she did while pregnant with her 3rd child. We talk about Dagny’s non-ordinary experiences and her process of reconciling spirituality with her scientific background (she has a PhD in philosophical ethics!).

    Kish and Mitra dive into the fear, paranoia, and cultural edges they've been exploring.
