Between 2012 and 2018, Stanley Keleman participated in a number of filmed conversations with Leila Cohn, founder of the Centro de Psicologia Formativa do Brasil (Brazilian Center of Formative Psychology). Cohn initiated the interview project in order to create a live record of Keleman’s thinking.

Living Your Older Age
Stanley Keleman talks about his vision of the Aging Process: "Aging is a learning process, not a loss. I do not call it a loss when the body is changing its structure. In fact, we need less muscle mass when our metabolic activity slows down. A change in energy or attention doesn't mean that something is lost -- it means that we have a challenge to use ourselves differently. And that is a big difference!"

Quantum Dynamics in the Human Experience
Stanley Keleman interviewed about his vision of the quantum process in the human experience. Keleman developed his innovative vision of the human embodied process for over 50 years. In his last years, he started his research on quantum dynamics applied to the bodily processes. In his words: "Quantum mechanics is about how we function as a wave, how we function in the field of particles. This is very similar to how the organism is organizing how it is in the world and making discrete actions possible that are part of a pattern. It is about understanding how we make contact, which is an event in which we are in the wave of feeling or motion. Quantum dynamics allows you to expand the field of human experiencing.”

Dreams: A Formative View
Stanley Keleman discusses his view of dreams: "The dream is a way the body talks to itself about its dilemmas and the means by which it can rehearse different action patterns about situations that require another way of behaving. It's not a symbolic representation. The real intention of dreaming is to be able to change how we act in different situations."
