    S2 EP10: The many ways we heal with Natalie from Tending Your Spirit

    In this episode, Giada speaks with Natalie from Tending Your Spirit about the many paths we can take towards healing, self-discovery and personal growth. They explore what it means to truly know yourself, how we can lose parts of ourselves through other people's expectations, and why the people and experiences that trigger us can become powerful mirrors for deeper self-awareness. From trusting intuition and taking leaps of faith to learning when to stop, rest and wait, this conversation is a reminder that we don't always need to have the answer. Sometimes, we simply need to find our centre and trust the process.

    S2 EP9: Creativity: spirit moving into form

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada explores creativity as more than art, talent or career. She shares how creating can become a spiritual practice, a way of connecting with something greater than ourselves, moving stuck emotions, accessing the unseen and returning to a deeper sense of aliveness. From writing and painting to dancing, cooking and simply letting the hands move, creativity becomes a path to healing, presence and self-expression.

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada is joined by Lisa Murray, also known as The Wonder Concierge, for a conversation about wonder, curiosity and reconnecting with the beauty hidden in everyday life.  Together they explore how small moments can create profound shifts in perspective, why we often take life too seriously, and how following curiosity can become a spiritual practice.

    S2 EP7: Numerology: Your numbers, your map

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada explores numerology as another path towards healing, transformation and deeper self-knowledge. Numbers are everywhere in our lives, from our birthdays and names to the cycles we move through. But what if numbers are more than tools for counting and measuring? What if they carry meaning, energy and a language of their own? Giada explores the ancient roots of numerology, from Pythagoras and sacred numbers to Kabbalah, the I Ching and other wisdom traditions. She explains how numbers can reveal patterns, personal cycles, potential and the lessons we may be working with in this lifetime. She also explores the connection between numerology and shamanic practice, and why she sees both as different languages pointing towards the same underlying truths. Most importantly, numerology isn't presented as a fixed destiny. It's a map, not a cage. Your numbers may reveal patterns and tendencies, but you still have free will.

    S2 EP5: Shinrin-Yoku, the path of the forest

    In this episode of School of Shamanism – Season 2: Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada explores Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing), the Japanese practice of immersing yourself in nature through all five senses. Far beyond a wellness trend, Shinrin-yoku is rooted in the ancient tradition of the Yamabushi, Japan's mountain shamans, whose teachings reveal the forest as a place of healing, wisdom and spiritual transformation. Giada explores the connection between nature, shamanism and science, explaining how forest bathing helps restore the body, awaken the soul and reconnect us with our original nature. She also introduces the Japanese concept of mono no aware, the beauty of impermanence, and explains why slowing down may be one of the most profound spiritual practices available to us.

    S2 EP4: Healing from the inside out with Lesley from ZVARĀ Wellness

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada is joined by Lesley from ZVARĀ Wellness to explore the powerful connection between psychology, yoga, breathwork and energy healing. Drawing on her background in health psychology, Kundalini Yoga, Yin Yoga and Qigong, Lesley shares how these complementary practices support lasting wellbeing by bringing the mind, body and energy systems back into balance. Together, they discuss the science behind healing, the importance of breath and movement, the role of sound and vibration, and why sustainable transformation comes not from a single practice, but from integrating simple rituals into everyday life. Different traditions may use different languages, but they all invite us back to the same place: ourselves.
