Hello podcast ;-)
You are here because something is missing—faith, spirituality, community. But where to start? Which way to turn?
This space exists to help you navigate those questions.
I’m Philipp Kobald, host of Holistic Circle and Spiritual Conversation. I speak with academics, practitioners, believers, skeptics, and seekers from many backgrounds to explore spiritual history, philosophy, rituals, and lived experience—without preaching or persuasion.
You won’t find final answers here. You will find better questions.
This is a space for bridge-building: where research meets experience, where certainty gives way to curiosity, and where complex topics—religion, spirituality, healing, doubt, and meaning—are approached with clarity and care.
The aim is simple: to offer well-informed perspectives so you can make your own next step with confidence.
If curiosity matters more than certainty, you’re in the right place.
Comment. Question. Stay curious.

New Book
Spiritual Parenting: By Podcaster Philipp Kobald: Raising Children Who Stay Real in an Artificial Age
About This Book — What You Will Learn
This book gives parents and caregivers a clear path to raising children who stay open, grounded, and emotionally alive in a world that is moving too fast. It is not academic—it's practical, direct, and based on real-life observation and lived experience.
What you will learn:
• How children truly learn: why imitation, not instruction, is the core of development—and how your daily behavior shapes their emotional blueprint.
• How to reduce contradictions in parenting: aligning what you say with what you model so your child grows up with clarity, not confusion.
• How openness is built: practical ways to cultivate curiosity, emotional presence, and resilience without forcing spirituality or pretending perfection.
• How to counter the “zombie effect”: identifying stress-driven, screen-driven habits and replacing them with meaningful rituals, movement, and connection.
• How to protect children in the digital and AI age: understanding how technology mimics empathy, how it shapes emotional development, and how to keep human connection at the center.
• How to use nature, boredom, and simple rituals: creating strong positive imprints that help children grow into grounded, confident adults.
• How to understand the real influence of screens and AI: clear explanations of how these tools shape attention, trust, and identity—and how to guide your child through it safely.
• How to build character without pressure: using everyday moments to teach responsibility, patience, cooperation, kindness, and genuine presence.
• How to parent without perfection: letting go of guilt and learning to use small, consistent actions to create long-term emotional strength.
In short:
This book teaches you how to raise a child who stays human—open, curious, emotionally intelligent—even in an artificial age.
My Services for You
Hello, welcome.
Besides my work as a podcaster and author, I offer personal services. Some can be booked directly further down the page; for others, it’s better to reach out and request a quote.
Spiritual Chaperone
Helping you define what is missing or what you are looking for in your spiritual search. This is essentially a personal podcast just for you, where we talk and reflect on what has worked in your spiritual life, what may have led you in the wrong direction, and what you hope to find going forward. I don’t offer ready-made answers, but through focused listening and reflection, we can identify signs pointing toward what you are truly seeking.
Corporate Spirituality
A wide and evolving field. This service focuses on creating video content for your organization that offers inspiration while engaging with contemporary philosophical, psychological, and religious research. The aim is to help define a framework that encourages teams to think and relate beyond the 9–5 mindset.
Podcast Speaking Training
This service differs from classical speaking training. It takes a holistic approach and starts from the idea that your voice is already right as it is—we simply work on framing it so it can be clearly and universally understood. The focus is on visibility, clarity, and building personal lines of protection while communicating in public.
