Imagine Paradise Podcast
The new Imagine Paradise Podcast is a little corner of entertainment culture where the #highvibemusic scene is celebrated and elevated. Tony award winning actor, singer/songwriter and licensed spiritual practitioner Levi Kreis interviews the artists who are awakening humanity to our highest divine self and expanding the consciousness of this planet through music. In an industry where conversations about spirituality are often discouraged and devalued, we encourage artists to create from a higher intention and use their gifts to lead humanity to a greater spiritual awareness.
