Learning from Trees

Shani Persson

This is for anyone who wants to expand, to learn and to be more of themselves. Or simply to be, more. For the human who wants to stop chasing knowledge and start anchoring into knowing and wisdom, beyond the letter. Who wants to feel. To experience. To embody. For the soul who wants to co-create and grow through interacting with life - with nature, with themselves, with one another. For the creator who wants to make things through the friction and doubts and peaks of being human. The artist who wants to dance with change. And be of service. This. Is for anyone who wants to savour their humanity. And maybe also - their divinity.

    02 Curious enough to find inner peace? - a conversation with Joana Castro

    This is a curious search for balance. An honest conversation between two humans who explore what it really means to pursue peace and contentment, when both our inner and outer world offer so much contrast, dissonance and variety.   In this episode I am joined by Joana Castro, a Food Therapy Educator and consultant rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We use a big and generous canvas to uncover what a holistic approach to our wellbeing could look like. Taking us from the abstract waves of acknowledging and processing emotions, to the practicality and necessity of gentle and patient self-care through the different seasons of life.   Sharing our personal experiences, successes and disappointments, we shed light on the true pace of change and the role that curiosity and willingness to adapt our methods - little by little - can lead to personal growth and healing…that we are also able to sustain.   About Joana: Joana is a modern creative polymath with a love for  blending disciplines in unexpected ways—science, art, health, food, design. Her life’s work is a canvas made of all of them. Curious by nature she is  likely to question everything and soak in new perspectives.   As a founder of My Own True Balance, she offers her services as a Food Therapy Educator & Consultant.

    01 For the love of art and effort - a conversation with Sofìa Laria

    This is an intimate conversation about our relationship with life. And all the raw material that it gives us - whether pleasant or painful - to expand, learn, create and connect.   In this episode I am joined by Sofìa Laria, a concert pianist, piano-mentor and researcher of creativity and creative expression. Together we explore the idea of effort, what it can mean to our process and to our sense of self-worth. And we talk in depth about what it means to trust and engage with the impermanence of our experiences and performances…   Through the lens of our personal practices in music, art and human interactions, the episode sheds light on how engaging with an object, whether it's a piano or clay or a desired change (or impact), can help us not just understand, but also integrate and put to use valuable life lessons.   About Sofia: Since the age of six, Sofia has passionately pursued piano, beginning her journey in Argentina and continuing her studies in piano performance in the Netherlands and Sweden with dedication and curiosity.   After completing her bachelor's in classical piano and studying anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires, Sofía followed her lifelong dream of studying in Europe. She earned a Master’s degree in Piano Performance from the University of the Arts Utrecht in the Netherlands. Now based in Sweden, she’s pursuing a second Master’s while researching how music and artistic learning can support personal growth and positively impact society, bringing together her love for the arts with insights from psychology and cognitive science.   Her piano studio is a space for creative learning, where both lessons and one-on-one consultations offer a way to grow, reclaim agency, and find clarity in a noisy world through creativity.   Get in touch: Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/sofia-laria-piano Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@sofialaria  Website: https://www.sofialaria.com/ This episode in headlines: What is so good about effort? The role of effort for self-worth The Importance of Process Over Goals Is it effort or suffering? Can effort be playful? What does it mean to be engaged?
