Jonas Mago: Presence and Consciousness in Theory and Practice

About today's guest: Jonas Mago is am a certified Unified Mindfulness meditation coach with a deep fascination for the science and mathematics of consciousness and wellbeing. His work bridges the gap between scientific inquiry, practices of the body and mind, and the wisdom of ancient traditions. Rooted in lineages such as Buddhism and Christian prayer, Jonas find inspiration in exploring how contemplative practices across traditions offer pathways to profound states of consciousness and flourishing. In his academic work, Jonas is pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience at McGill University, where he studies how contemplative practices enable the brain, body, and mind to access new states of consciousness. His research focuses on how these states support holistic wellbeing and transformation, weaving together insights from neurobiology, cognitive science, and phenomenology.

Devlin Flynn: in Honor of Breath and Belonging

About today's guest: Following a path of multiplicity and ambi-valence, Devlin Flynn has gathered together many ways of being- trained jazz musician, professional puppeteer, working with kids and teenagers with complex neurological disorders, metal vocalist- and has in recent times turned towards something of the sacred. Devlin has turned towards Death and Sound as two prisms through which he engages with his work. Now working often as a “sound healer” (but don’t call him that, he doesn’t like it) and practitioner of vocal resonance, he is interested in how we story ourselves, how we can be in better relationship with Place, Ancestry and Time.

Lalaina Ravelojaona: Être présent, détaché, et reconnaissant pour le composte.

Lalaina est né en France au cœur d’un foyer empli de musique et d'aventure, il a été élevé par une mère enseignante et musicienne pétrie d’humanisme. Elle lui lègue son amour de l’aventure, du mystère et de la transmission ce qui déterminera son parcours : Il termine une maîtrise sur l’improvisation musicale avec les machines puis se retrouve à enseigner et jouer de la musique sur les routes de France et du Canada. Sa pratique artistique couplée à son amour pour la méditation et la philosophie l'amènera à étudier les pratiques ancestrales de son peuple d’origine, faite de cérémonies rituelles profondément communautaires mélangeant musique et danse. Ces dernières le poussent à s’initier aux arts du mouvement, dans une recherche d’unisson entre le corps et l’esprit. A travers l’art et sa transmission, il cherche à observer au quotidien l’application de la loi d’Antoine Lavoisier, “rien ne se perd, rien ne se crée, tout se transforme” . --- Pour en apprendre plus sur Laure et son travail, visitez www.laure.love.
