Ep. 1 | Death: The Corporeal Gate with Ivan Nevesenko

In this first journey into The Aether, host Nicole Johnstone and filmmaker Ivan Nevesenko explore the archetypal gate of Death — not as an ending, but as a corporeal threshold. Ivan shares his experiences with thanatophobia (fear of death), chronophobia (fear of time), and the life-altering presence of sleep paralysis, revealing how these states became catalysts for transformation. Together, they reflect on the ancient motif of katabasis the descent into the underworld (and the title of Ivan's newest film), the paradox of non-duality, and the initiatory power of grief, loss and acceptance.
