ALL THINGS DVN
by ERICKA DONTELLO
Before there is guidance, there is observation. ALL THINGS DVN is the Colloquium of the Atelier, where observations become conversation and conversation becomes a deeper study of the human experience. Here, psychology, neuroawareness, philosophy, spirituality, somatic intelligence, symbolism, and lived experience are examined together, not as separate disciplines, but as different ways of seeing the same whole. Guided by Ericka Dontello, founder of DVN THEREPE™, medical intuitive, neuro somatic practitioner, and soul alchemist, each episode explores the architecture beneath what can already be seen. Some conversations begin with the body. Others begin with memory, belief, culture, grief, language, relationships, or faith. Some begin with a single observation that slowly unfolds into something much larger. Regardless of where the conversation begins, every episode asks the same question: What exists beneath what is already v

THE LAST ARGUMENT YOU NEVER HAVE
What happens when you stop trying to make people understand what they already had enough information to understand? We are taught that relationships are voluntary until the relationship is family. Then history becomes obligation, blood becomes continued access, and “that's just how they are”...

TO BE OR NOT TO BE
You are functioning. You answer the emails, you cook the dinner, you check the homework, you keep your tone measured and your image intact, and then you lie in bed at night wondering who you are inside any of it. Nothing is wrong, and something is missing, and that combination is more…

WHAT MADE YOU SO SURE?
We say "I just knew" as though it settles the matter, and nobody ever asks the follow up question, so this episode asks it. What happened inside you between the moment you experienced something and the moment you decided what it meant, and why has that translation become so difficult to examine?…

THE ALCHEMIST'S LAW I : THE LAWS OF SEEING
Most people are not deceived by the world around them. They are deceived by the picture they assembled of it, and they defend that picture the way people defend things they cannot afford to lose. The confidence that comes from having already decided what is true is one of the most expensive…

TRIVIA NIGHT, GOOD VIBES, AND BAD BEHAVIOR

ADVOCATING FOR YOURSELF IN MEDICAL SPACES

THE FIRST HOME I EVER BUILT

LABELS: WHO ARE YOU WITHOUT THEIR WEIGHT?
