About the Hosts
Christian Velten
Explorer | Brother | Spirit
Okay, well, I’m Han’s charismatic young(er) brother. Tall and handsome. Dark and brooding. Always happy to laugh and muck about, get into trouble and take risks with my life. I was a tearaway, if I’m honest, and I loved nothing more than running away from what I was expected to be and do. Never wanted to be ‘normal’ and have the wealthy, British lifestyle which was supposedly ahead of me - sod that. I wanted adventures, heat and passion in my life, not a shrivelled up, spent and spat out existence which I saw before me, if I’d done what I was supposed to do… and I had a very good, and expensive, education afforded me.
It still astounds me that Han, here, searched for me as hard as she did. I’d always loved her, looked up to her and seen her blossom in life. She didn’t do the things which were expected of her, either. We were, and are, so very similar. She’s flighty. Loves the novel, the new. Is adventurous in her thinking and being.
This podcast is going to be about us - and you. How we were both lost and found. It was her incredible spirit which has battled against all the odds to get to me, and to get me home… and I’ll be eternally grateful to her for that. And when I finally get to meet her again, she can give me a huge hug, then a massive slap for being such a pain-in-the-arse little brother.
Love you, Han.

Grief Healer | Sister | Writer
I never in a million years thought I would be describing myself as a grief healer. I was a writer. But then my brother, Christian, disappeared in Africa and life was never the same again.
Today, after 18 years of trusting, personal healing and transformation, I work with people who have been overwhelmed by grief to find balance, peace and joy - whatever the physical circumstances this is possible. Drawing on my own experiences and guided by Spirit, I find the lost things, bring truth/clarity and support people as they reignite their creative powers. It's a complete joy and privilege to be doing this work.
And now I want to share our grief healing ritual (which truly heals and transforms) with a wider audience... hence the radio show and podcast you're listening to! So, come exploring with Christian and myself, and our guests. All you have to do is listen and be open to what touches you. What gives you goosebumps? What makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? Listen to every episode in turn, or just pick an episode that calls to you. You will hear what you need. x
