Communication - the foundation of human connection
Episdoe #51 - Reclaiming Connection
My guest for this episode is Sean Green - a couples and relationship coach, trainer of communication and meditation, a father of 3 children, and musician based in Vienna.
Sean has spent thousands of hours meditating, practising and learning from many traditions and schools on the Inner Path for over 20 years. His professional engagements are characterised by his calmness, clarity and loving presence. He support his clients in experiencing authentic aliveness, connection and inner peace.
In our conversation, we explored the nature of communication—not just as a tool for exchanging information, but as the foundation of human connection. We talked about how communication extends beyond words, manifesting in movement, presence, and the unspoken rhythms of relationships. We discussed the tension between individual autonomy and the need for deep connection, and how modern society, with its hyper-individualism and digital mediation, has reshaped the ways we relate to one another.
We talked about the impact of systems—economic, cultural, and technological—on our ability to form meaningful relationships and maintain boundaries and reflected on the paradox of contemporary life—how we are more connected than ever on a global scale yet increasingly isolated in our day-to-day interactions. We talked about the growing tendency to outsource human needs—emotional, relational, and physical—to paid services rather than communal support. And through it all, we returned to the question: what does it mean to be truly present in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with the structures that shape our lives?
