We begin where most end—at the edge of science and the soul. In this riveting conversation with Dr. Shamini Jain, we explore the biofield—a scientifically validated field of energy and information that surrounds and interpenetrates the body. This is not mysticism—it’s the new physics of healing. We unpack groundbreaking research on subtle energy, while reimagining what it means to be whole. Dr. Shamini Jain is Founder and CEO of the 501c3 social profit Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI), an international collaborative of scientists, healing practitioners, educators and artists who lead humanity to heal ourselves.  Dr. Jain is a clinical psychologist, and an award-winning researcher and author in psychoneuroimmunology, integrative health and biofield science. She also serves as an adjunct professor at UC San Diego's Department of Family Medicine, where she supports research education within UCSD's Centers for Integrative Health.  Dr. Jain is a sought-after speaker and teacher with ample media experience related to biofield healing research and education, including national television placements, two TEDx talks, and regular talks at universities as well as leading health conferences and retreat centers.  Her two-time award winning book, Healing Ourselves: Biofield Science and the Future of Health is available from booksellers world-wide. The Whole Conversation A tuning fork for the Unitive Age, The Whole Conversation is where ancient wisdom meets emerging science, and personal awakening ripples into global transformation. Hosted by Dr. Julie Krull—evolutionary leader, spiritual mentor, and soulful disruptor—this show delivers 20-minute microdoses of coherence, resonance, and embodied wholeness for these turbulent times. From mystics and movement makers to scientists and soul-guides, each episode transmits a pulse from the Field: a sacred remembering that you are not separate—you are part of the Whole. Rooted in the vision of a conscious, connected future, The Whole Conversation is a proud partner of the Holomovement. Together, we’re not just talking about change—we’re becoming it.

In a world fractured by opinion and fueled by polarity, there is a quieter revolution unfolding—not through ideology, but resonance. In this solo episode, Dr. Julie invites you into the living field of Harmonic Love, where science, mysticism, and embodied leadership meet. We begin with a vulnerable family moment—a political conversation that could’ve divided—but didn’t. What unfolded instead were living lessons. This story becomes the doorway into a deeper exploration of how we lead not from strategy, but from frequency. Julie weaves together personal experience, unitive science, and poetic remembrance to reveal the healing force of Harmonic Love: a field where opposites are no longer enemies, but notes of a greater symphony. Whether you’re a leader navigating complexity or a soul craving peace, this episode will help you remember: You are not here to fix a broken world. You are here to become the field that heals it. Stay through the end for a powerful transmission—an embodied invitation to become a tuning fork of harmony in these turbulent times.

You are not a bystander in this planetary moment—you are a storyteller of the future. In this culminating episode, Bob Atkinson and Dr. Julie explore the sacred act of reclaiming your voice, your memory, and your belonging within the great unfolding. This isn’t about personal development. It’s about planetary coherence. When we speak from the field of unity, we don’t just tell a new story—we become it. This is The Whole Conversation.

In this visionary closing episode, Dr. Julie and David Gershon dive into The Peace Game—a global-scale initiative that invites every citizen to become a peacebuilder. What if peace was a playable future? What if collective coherence could be measured, accelerated, and celebrated? Explore how joy, gamification, and unified intention can become the architecture of peace. About David Gershon: David Gershon, Founder and CEO of Empowerment Institute’s Center for Reinventing the Planet, has been called “the number one expert on social change.” He has dedicated his life to empowering humanity to believe we can create the world of our dreams and designing the strategies and tools to help us make this a reality. In 1986 at the height of the Cold War, he conceived and organized in partnership with UNICEF, the passing of a torch of peace around the world. Called the First Earth Run, this event engaged 25 million people and 45 heads of state (including the principal Cold War adversaries US President, Ronald Reagan and Russian President, Mikhail Gorbachev) in 62 countries. Through its partnership with ABC Television and their global media partners, the First Earth Run was witnessed by a billion people. Wherever the torch of peace went, wars stopped and the world was united as one.Based on this experience and subsequent decades designing and scaling robust behavior change, community empowerment, and large system transformation strategies, David has architected his boldest global initiative — Peace on Earth by 2030 moonshot with its Peace Game and Peace Zone transformative tools. The moonshot plan proposes that transforming individuals by cultivating peace practices through the Peace Game and creating supportive community environments through Peace Zones, and scaling these efforts to reach critical mass at both the individual and community levels, can fundamentally shift global consciousness and societal norms, leading to Peace on Earth by 2030. This creates an environment where peace, cooperation, and shared purpose are the norm, significantly reducing barriers and risks for all positive global endeavors. It is delivered through non profits, local governments, businesses, universities,and faith-based groups.David is author of twelve books, including the award-winning Social Change 2.0: A Blueprint for Reinventing Our World and Empowerment: The Art of Creating Your Life As You Want It. His work has won much recognition including winning the prestigious NASA global competition as “the most outstanding solution in addressing human impact on the planet’s sustainability.”David has lectured at Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins and served as an advisor to the Clinton White House and the United Nations on empowerment and transformative social change.

In a culture driven by clicks, metrics, and the desperate race to capture attention in seven seconds or less, what if the real revolution is a return to presence? In this soul-centered solo episode, Dr. Julie Krull invites you to slow down—and remember. Blending sacred story, mystic vision, and lived wisdom, she contrasts the frantic pace of a sales-obsessed world with the holy stillness of a moment that truly matters. Drawing from her recent travel experiences and a profound message from her late friend Makasha, Julie unpacks what it means to shift from performing to presencing… from grabbing attention to radiating coherence. This episode is not a lesson—it’s a transmission. A gentle invitation to turn inward, root in your own frequency, and lead from the inside out. Because you don’t need seven seconds to impress the world. You are the breath of God made visible. And this moment—this holy moment—is enough.

Sometimes the journey of awakening doesn’t start with a retreat, arevelation, or a cosmic download—it starts with the refrigerator. In this delightfullyunexpected solo episode, Dr. Julie Krull invites you into a sticky, sacred metaphor born from expired condiments, crusty shelves, and the radical act of cleaning out what no longer serves. What if that funky jar of barbecue sauce is trying to teach you something about coherence? What if clearing your fridge is a spiritual practice of composting the old world to make space for the new? This is a story about making room—for resonance, for remembrance, for the radiant now. It’s about shedding the outdated from our homes, our habits, and our hearts tobecome the magnetic attractors for the future of consciousness itself.

Crisis is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a deeper one. In this episode, we examine how disruption, grief, and global upheaval can become holy catalysts for unity.

Then his journeys took him to the Hudson River and a series of adventures, including: sailing on the maiden voyage of the Clearwater with Pete Seeger and his singing crew; attending the Woodstock music festival; living in a cabin in the woods near the Hudson River; visiting Arlo Guthrie at his farm in the Berkshires; having a synchronistic and fateful meeting with Joseph Campbell that became a mentoring relationship; being given a cell in a Franciscan monastery as a guest; and, returning to teach a course at Southampton College, all of which frame his memoir of that period, Remembering 1969. Following the publication of his first book – Songs of the Open Road: The Poetry of Folk Rock and the Journey of the Hero (1974, out of print, but still around somewhere) – he completed his second master’s at the University of New Hampshire in Counseling, and his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in cross-cultural human development. He then did a post-doctoral research fellowship in adolescent development at the University of Chicago, which resulted in the publication of The Teenage World (1987), with his mentors. His books on life storytelling, The Gift of Stories: Practical and Spiritual Applications of Autobiography, Life Stories, and Personal Mythmaking (1995) and The Life Story Interview (1998), have been translated into Japanese, Italian, and Romanian and are widely used in personal growth and life review settings. He is professor emeritus of cross-cultural human development and religious studies at the University of Southern Maine, and director of Story Commons. At USM, he was the first Diversity Scholar in the College of Education and Human Development (2002-2004) and a co-founding faculty of the Russell Scholars Program and the Religious Studies minor. He has also taught a week long summer course sailing the Maine coast on a traditional schooner. In the fall of 2002, he was a faculty member on the Semester at Sea around the world voyage with 30 other faculty and 600 undergraduates. He has since sailed on Semester at Sea’s Enrichment Voyages a number of times as a workshop leader. His other interests are photography (his g

In this first episode, we explore the powerful invitation to live from unity consciousness. Dr. Robert Atkinson shares insights from The Way of Unity that trace our shared human journey from separation to wholeness—illuminating how myth, meaning, and deep time guide us toward collective awakening. This is the call to remember: Who are we, really, in the larger story of the universe?
