Karin Mohler‘s debut novel «Today, the Snow was Sand», out on November 10, is about 12-year-old Aivi, who never wanted to leave Göteborg – but in the remote wilds of Lapland, nothing is as it seems. A mysterious white elk draws her into a forbidden forest, where secrets whisper through the trees and a hostile boy guards more than just his anger. «Today, the Snow was Sand» is a haunting and magical story of loss, courage, identity, and the power of facing what lies hidden.
Karin Mohler is a writer, writing coach and language teacher. Having grown up travelling between countries and cultures, she developed an early love of stories and writing. Listen to the interview here.
Saskia Stäuble and Michael Odermatt are Dust of Soul, a Swiss music duo whose work brings together music, spirituality and personal transformation. What began 14 years ago as a singer-songwriter project has evolved into an unusual practice of creating individual «soul songs» – melodies and lyrics inspired by a person’s energy and story.
Now based in Los Angeles, they perform intimate live experiences and one-to-one sessions, inviting people to reconnect with themselves through music and frequency. Dust of Soul have three upcoming virtual sessions hosted by The DEN Meditation, on 7 October, 4 November and 2 December. They will also be featured at the Conscious Life Expo in February 2027. Listen to the interview here.
