The Slow Lifepath is an exploration of what it means to live a life in pursuit of radical authenticity, whilst learning how to slow down and carve out our own unique path. Hosted by singer/songwriter and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Ayelle, this is a space for softness and vulnerability, where we explore creativity, embodiment, nervous system healing and slow living. This path isn’t always an easy one, and it is my hope that this will be a safe space for us to feel more supported, inspired and connected on our journeys.

    What happens when you combine tarot and poetry? What is an accidental altar? How can animacy inspire and nurture our creativity? These are a few of the topics covered in today's conversation with Kim Rashidi. We delve further into myth and storytelling, navigating how to deal with self doubt and so much more.

    13. Reclaiming Magic and The Reason Why We Create - Genevieve Gornichec

    How do we as creatives stay anchored in the reasons why we started creating in the first place? And how can we reclaim a sense of magic in our day to day life through story, ancient wisdom and working with our hands? These are some of the questions that we dive into in today's conversation with author Genevieve Gornichec, as well as her journey to becoming a published author, the Norse Mythology and Folklore that inspired both of her books, and so much more. Genevieve Gornichec earned her degree in history from The Ohio State University, where her study of the Norse myths and Icelandic sagas became her writing inspiration. Her debut novel, The Witch's Heart, was released in 2021 and has been translated into over a dozen languages. Her sophomore novel, The Weaver and the Witch Queen, was released in 2023. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
