Episode 1: Death at 16 – The Origin of the Quest

Every journey of self-discovery begins with a question.

In this first episode, Jon reflects on his early years—his search for meaning, the moment that changed his perspective, and the experiences that shaped the way he sees the world today. Through personal stories and honest reflection, he invites you to consider your own journey—not as something to figure out, but as something to meet with curiosity, compassion, and a sense of discovery.

This series is an invitation to explore the inner landscape of awareness, to be more at ease with yourself, and to engage with life in a way that feels authentic and natural to who you are.
