Living the Unseen Living the Unseen

Complete strangers acting as your family members, sudden insights into generational trauma, intuitive immersions in your family tree? Sounds intense – and a bit magical.

In this episode, we talk to business mentor and family constellations leader Merel van Vugt, to explore how the family constellations approach can help us understand our family’s dynamics and patterns, and heal unresolved issues. 

But that’s not all – a lot of other important questions popped up in this conversion, like: 


Why is it so hard to claim more much needed alone-time? 


Which role does intuition play in the lives of Merel, Tanja and Arjanna? 


And what is our take on mindful parenting?

How can spirituality shape a doctor’s medical practice? And what is it like to work with a spiritual mentor? If you are like us, you might feel a certain resistance when it comes to following gurus and other spiritual guides. But Kriti’s inner clarity and peace really made us curious about her journey and the support she found along the way.

Dr. Kriti Nanda, Medical Doctor, Mental Health Coach, Researcher in Contemplative Sciences and Developer of Digital Tools for Mindfulness.

From a very young age, Kriti’s passion has been to help spread the awareness and importance of holistic Mental Health and Well-being. She supports individuals in overcoming their personal obstacles and energy drainers – with a focus on guiding them beyond their symptoms to helping address their root cause. Kriti believes that all we need today is hidden within us – we often simply just don’t know how to access it. The transformation tools she has experienced herself and is practising and sharing today, she learned from her guide Maitreya Dadashreeji. They have been developed specifically for the current time and have been scientifically validated. The goal, very simple, is to help individuals connect to themselves and really understand themselves, so they can be empowered to lead a happy, peaceful and fulfilling life and experience their true nature – unconditional Love.

How is consciousness actually created in the brain? Can you apply scientific methods when it comes to spiritual practices? Questions like these led our guest Cristina Moraru onto a fascinating path where she started digging deeper into the intersection of science and spirituality. In our conversation she talks about people and resources that helped her on her journey, what a cup sleeve taught her about listening to her inner voice and why yoga is not her thing.





Cristina A. Moraru is a science communicator and independent researcher bridging the worlds of science and spirituality. Her mission is to normalize exploring one’s spirituality as a rational and relevant activity for understanding ourselves, our world, and our place in it. Through her podcast Worthful Woman, Cristina interviews thought leaders at the intersections of science and spirituality, and shares her journey as a woman exploring both scientific and spiritual realms.

From silence retreats to tarot readings for companies, from Ayahuasca to Wicca traditions – Where and how does a spiritual journey begin? Which forms can it take? How do we break the taboo and start talking about it to others? 

Arjanna van der Plas and Tanja Lau are on a quest to explore spirituality from different angles and learn how others started to integrate it into their day-to-day lives – on their own, in their families or even at work. In each episode, we bring you insightful conversations, new ideas and thought-provoking discussions that bridge the gap between the urban hustle and the quest for inner peace.

Whether you’re already on your personal spiritual journey or just curious about the topic, “Living The Unseen” offers a fresh perspective on incorporating ancient wisdom into the contemporary city grind.



In this first episode, Arjanna and Tanja reveal why they started the podcast and what they are hoping to find in the conversations with their guests.
