In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of Exploring Reality Maybe, we sit down with Natalia Greene—environmentalist, legal activist, and co-founder of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN). From the courtrooms of Ecuador to the international climate stage, Natalia has been a passionate voice for ecosystems, advocating for the legal recognition of nature as a living, rights-bearing entity.

Natalia shares her personal journey growing up in Ecuador, a country that made history in 2008 by becoming the first in the world to enshrine the Rights of Nature into its Constitution. She takes us behind the scenes of powerful courtroom battles, including a landmark case where a frog became the legal face of resistance against a mining company. Her stories are equal parts poetic and political, showcasing a global movement fighting to flip the script—from exploitation to interconnection.

Together, we explore the philosophical and legal frameworks that underpin the Rights of Nature movement. Natalia explains how indigenous worldviews and ecocentric legal systems offer a lifeline for humanity and biodiversity alike. With over 70 cases in Ecuador alone and growing recognition in more than 40 countries, the Rights of Nature is no longer a fringe idea—it's a global shift gaining legal, ethical, and spiritual momentum.

If you've ever wondered what it means to live in true harmony with the Earth—or how legal systems can be reimagined to protect what cannot speak for itself—this episode is a must-listen. Prepare to rethink your relationship with the planet, and maybe even adopt a river or a frog along the way.

In this episode of Exploring Reality Maybe, we dive deep into the extraordinary spiritual journey of Rabbi Zac, a path shaped by mystical awakening, profound personal loss, and transformative psychedelic experiences. From an unexpected encounter with the divine as a teenager in Israel to the soul-crushing grief of infertility, Rabbi Zac’s story weaves together vulnerability, resilience, and a renewed connection to faith.

Through the lens of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah, Rabbi Zac shares how his participation in groundbreaking psilocybin research at Johns Hopkins reshaped his understanding of spirituality, consciousness, and the relationship between light and shadow in the human experience. We explore the rich symbolic language of Hesed and Gevurah, the interplay of unity and uniqueness, and the profound insights revealed in altered states of consciousness.

We also discuss the bridges he is building between ancient Jewish spiritual practices and modern psychedelic therapies, creating spaces for preparation, integration, and communal healing. Rabbi Zac offers a candid view of the pushback from traditional communities, the importance of harm reduction, and his vision for a pluralistic Jewish psychedelic movement.

This conversation is an invitation to rethink our relationship with spirituality, consciousness, and the ego and to explore how ancient traditions and modern neuroscience can meet to support deeper connection, meaning, and service to others.

In this soul-stirring episode of Exploring Reality Maybe, we sit down with David Sauvage—an empath, writer, performer, and prophetic voice for our times. Known for his unique ability to embody and articulate the emotions of others, David shares how empathy can serve not only as a tool for personal healing but also as a medium for cultural transformation. From his early days doing emotional readings at Burning Man to his recent AI collaborations and prophetic storytelling, David challenges us to reimagine how we feel, relate, and lead.

We explore the raw, nuanced space between empathy and manipulation, attunement and power, grief and transformation. David offers surprising insights into how highly attuned figures—whether spiritual leaders or controversial public figures—navigate empathy without compassion, and how reclaiming true empathy might be essential to evolving as a collective. We also dive into the provocative role of performance, grief, and art in moving us from the world we have to the one our hearts know is possible.

David speaks candidly about his work with AI and storytelling, including viral deepfake videos that reimagine political leaders undergoing spiritual awakenings. We unpack what it means to envision an alternate timeline, how the heart can guide the flow of capital, and why prophetic voices—those who speak with love, truth, and accountability—are more vital now than ever.

If you're longing for a conversation that meets you at the intersection of emotional intelligence, cultural grief, and the sacred economics of the future, this one’s for you.
