    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!).

    Relational Edges: Fear, Gender, and Race
    May 28 2024
    Kish and Mitra dive into the fear, paranoia, and cultural edges they've been exploring. Mitra shares about missing other Asian people in Asheville and his reluctance to bring up being one of the only Asians in certain circles. Kish reflects on her internalized sexism and her desire for more female role models after a powerful session at Relateful Camp. They discuss the differences in how therapists and coaches hold space, with coaches often taking more relational risks. Kish opens up about sharing her fear and paranoia with her partner Harris, while Mitra contemplates ending his relationship with his male therapist to find more feminine-based support. Personal anecdotes about translating between cultures, dealing with blunt Asian parents, and struggling to find the right words for grief illustrate the nuances of showing up with love and authenticity.
