Simon van der Els is a student of the invisible realm. He holds a PhD title in the empirical tradition of molecular microbiology. He also explores the subjective realm of shamanism, as a way of re-discovering the interiority of the living cosmos, and assisting in healing of Gaia. He enjoys time in nature, dance and other sensory embodied experiences. Dialogue is one of the practices in which he can encounter flowstate, and this is one of his favorite activities.
