15- Human Resonance, with Krešimir Špicer, Opera Tenor

In this episode of FEEL SEEN Space, we sit down with internationally acclaimed tenor Krešimir Špicer for a powerful conversation about opera, education, discipline, and the deeply human nature of music. From growing up in war-time Croatia to performing on the world’s leading stages, Krešimir reflects on how music shaped his life — not as an elite pursuit, but as a fundamental human necessity.

14- Best of 2025: A Year of Becoming

As we step into 2026, FEEL SEEN Space pauses to reflect on our first year of conversations. Hosted by Sara Van Pée and Roxanne Doucet, this episode is a curated Best of 2025, drawing from 13 interviews with artists, writers, directors, and cultural workers who shared their stories, doubts, and wisdom.
