S2 EP1: Many paths, one mountain: a new season begins

Welcome to Season 2 of School of Shamanism: Many Paths, One Mountain. After spending the first season exploring what it means to walk between the visible and invisible worlds, Giada opens the conversation to a wider community of healers, teachers and practitioners from a diverse range of traditions. In Many Paths, One Mountain, we'll discover the wisdom that connects seemingly different approaches to healing, spirituality and personal transformation. Through honest conversations, we'll uncover the unique gifts each path offers, the truths they share, and why there is no single route to wholeness. Whether you're just beginning your journey or have been walking your own path for years, this season invites you to listen with curiosity, trust your own inner knowing, and discover the medicine that resonates most deeply with you. The paths may be different, but the mountain is the same.

S1 EP26: Coming home to the body

In this penultimate episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada turns our attention to one of the most overlooked aspects of the spiritual path: the body. While many seekers focus on the invisible world, true spiritual practice requires us to be fully present in the physical one. The body is not an obstacle to enlightenment, but the bridge between spirit and matter, the visible and invisible, heaven and earth. Join as we explore the body's innate wisdom, its role in intuition and healing, the importance of grounding and why learning to listen to the body may be one of the most powerful spiritual practices of all. Your body is not something to overcome, it is something to come home to.

S1 EP25: Money mindset and the courage to grow with Joanna Crow

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada is joined by Joanna Crow, founder of Mindful Money Ltd, for a conversation that bridges spirituality, money, and personal wellbeing. Joanna shares her unique path of walking between several worlds: running an accountancy and bookkeeping practice, supporting clients through money coaching, managing an online wellness business, and caring full-time for her neurodivergent son. Through these experiences, she has developed a holistic approach to finances that connects money, mindset, health, and purpose. The discussion dives into the psychology behind financial behaviour, particularly the concept of money personalities: the patterns and beliefs that shape how we earn, spend, save, and grow wealth. Joanna explains how these patterns show up in business, why some people naturally organise their finances while others struggle with money flow, and how recognising these traits can shift financial outcomes. Giada and Joanna also tackle a topic many spiritual practitioners wrestle with: the discomfort around charging for spiritual work. They unpack why money often feels taboo in spiritual communities, how undercharging can lead to burnout, and why financial expansion can actually support greater service to others. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on self-sabotage, fear of success, and the energetic relationship we have with money, highlighting how transformation can begin simply by changing the conversation we have about it. Because when we heal our relationship with money, we don’t just change our bank balance, we expand the way we show up in the world.

S1 EP24: Making friends with death

Death is one of the few certainties in life, yet most of us spend our lives avoiding it. In this episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada explores death not only as a physical ending, but as an essential part of transformation. From the loss of relationships and identities to spiritual initiation and ego death, discover why every meaningful change requires something old to fall away. Together we'll look at grief as a sacred process, the lessons hidden within endings, and how learning to surrender to life's inevitable cycles can deepen your spiritual path. Death is not the opposite of life. It is part of life itself.

S1 EP23: Choosing simple in a world that wants more with Amy

In this episode of Walking Between the Worlds, I’m joined by Amy, founder of Good Vibrations Northeast, based between Durham and Newcastle. What began as a personal struggle with anxiety, panic attacks and depression became the catalyst for something much bigger, a full-day wellbeing event held at the beautiful Beamish Hall, bringing together movement, inspirational talks, healing practices and community. Amy shares openly about reaching breaking point, questioning the “just take the tablets” approach, and deciding to try everything, therapy, mindfulness, movement, nature, books, community, until something began to shift. We speak about burnout, the pressure to always be busy, social media overwhelm, and the courage to choose a slower, more intentional life. We explore the balance between solitude and community, the healing power of being barefoot in nature, and the simple but powerful question: Do I really need this… or do I just want it? This is a conversation about reclaiming your energy, simplifying your life, and remembering that self-care is not selfish, it is essential. P.S. the event on 21st June has unfortunately been cancelled in the meantime. We hope to see it again soon Connect with Amy: Website: www.goodvibrationsuk.co.ukInstagram: @goodvibrationsneukFacebook: Good VibrationsConnect with Giada Gaslini: Website: www.schoolofshamanism.co.ukInstagram: @‌schoolofshamanismFacebook: School of ShamanismYoutube: School of ShamanismAbout the Host Originally hailing from the vibrant city of Milan, I’ve spent the past two decades traversing the globe in a quest for spiritual and personal growth and combined with 25 years of international corporate work experience.

S1 EP22: Walking between worlds while you sleep

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada steps into one of the oldest and most mysterious gateways between worlds: dreams. While modern culture often dismisses dreams as meaningless brain activity, shamanic traditions have long understood them as journeys into the invisible world. Places where guidance, symbolism, ancestors, spirits, and deeper truths can be accessed beyond ordinary waking life. Giada explores the role dreams play on the spiritual path, different kinds of dreams we experience, from emotional processing to true spiritual journeys, and why modern society has become disconnected from dream work. Throughout the episode, Giada shares ways to strengthen dream recall, because every night, whether we remember it or not, another doorway opens.

S1 EP21: Breathing beyond the mind with Susana Ramos

In this episode of Walking Between the Worlds, Giada welcomes Edinburgh-based breathwork facilitator Susana Ramos for a rich and energising conversation that weaves together breath, Human Design, and the courage to follow your own energetic blueprint. Susana shares her journey from law to vet nursing to the spiritual path, and how discovering Human Design completely shifted the way she understood herself, especially as a Manifestor. Together, they unpack the five energy types, the difference between initiating and responding, the power of waiting through emotional waves, and why so many of us are trying to live in ways that simply aren’t aligned with how our energy actually works. The conversation also dives into Susana’s trauma-informed, shamanically infused breathwork practice, small, intimate group sessions designed not for dramatic release, but for real nervous system healing. She explains why bigger isn’t always better when it comes to breathwork, and how conscious breathing alone can begin to move you out of your head and back into your body. If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too fast,” too impatient, too inconsistent, or like you’re trying to force life instead of flow with it, this episode will land.

S1 EP20: The fear of being seen

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada explores one of the deepest fears many people face on the spiritual path: visibility. After discussing identity, belonging, intuition, and the experience of walking between worlds, this conversation turns toward the moment where inner work meets the outer world. The point where you stop hiding and allow yourself to be seen. Giada reflects on why visibility can feel so frightening, but this episode is also a reminder that gifts are not meant to remain locked away, exploring how hiding our abilities not only limits us, but also prevents the people who need our work from finding us... Because being seen is not about ego. It is about allowing your medicine to reach the people it was meant for.
