Zo ook het sjamanisme: een geloof dat zijn oorsprong heeft in Siberië, maar dat tegenwoordig in uiteenlopende vormen voorkomt, met invloeden uit onder meer Nepal en Bali. Sanne Bloemink onderzoekt het sjamanisme in Nederland. Ze ondergaat zelf een sjamanistisch ritueel en spreekt met wetenschappers en deskundigen.

 In This Episode Adi Klevit sits down with Lindsay Nahmiache for a powerful conversation about growth, discomfort, and the systems that allow founders to evolve beyond daily operations. Lindsay shares how unexpected moments—like being stranded in Nepal without a passport—became pivotal experiences that shaped her ability to think clearly, creatively, and strategically. Adi highlights how these personal experiences directly influence leadership style and long-term business success. They also explore the early days of Lindsay's marketing agency, including how saying "yes" before having all the answers led to landing major clients like Virgin Radio. Adi emphasizes that this wasn't luck, but a mindset backed by execution, structure, and a willingness to figure things out. The conversation reinforces how confidence paired with systems creates opportunity. As the episode unfolds, Adi and Lindsay dive into what it truly takes to scale. Lindsay explains why founders must eventually remove themselves from operations—even when it feels uncomfortable—and how strong systems step in to support the business at the next level. Adi reinforces that this transition is essential for founders who want freedom, clarity, and sustainable growth without becoming the bottleneck.

In this powerful and joy‑filled episode, we sit down with humanitarian, author, and CNN Hero Maggie Doyne for a conversation that left us inspired, grounded, and buzzing with gratitude. Maggie, co‑founder and CEO of the BlinkNow Foundation and subject of the documentary “Between the Mountain and the Sky,” joins us from California during a rare stateside visit. What unfolds is an intimate, honest, and often hilarious exchange about purpose, service, motherhood, grief, art, and the beautiful messiness of being human.Maggie shares the origin story of her life's work in Nepal, beginning with a gap year, a chance encounter with children breaking rocks for survival, and the babysitting money that became the seed for a school, a home, and a community that has now transformed countless lives. She reflects on two decades of building the Kopila Valley community, raising children, navigating unimaginable loss, and learning to lead with heart, humility, and hope.We explore the role of art and storytelling in healing, the decade‑long process of filming her documentary, and the vulnerability of letting the world witness both the triumphs and the raw, unfiltered moments of her journey. Maggie talks about the surprising reactions she's received from audiences, the importance of showing real women in real bodies, and why authenticity matters more than polish.The conversation also touches on self‑care in a world that often turns it into another metric of success. Maggie offers a refreshingly grounded perspective on tending to the basics: medical checkups, community, breath, movement, and the small daily practices that keep us tethered. She shares the voices and music that have supported her through dark seasons, from Raffi to Sarah Blondin, and the rituals that anchor her family.As always, we close with our signature playlist picks, inspired by Maggie's light, courage, and the emotional landscape of her story. Expect sunshine, resilience, childhood joy, and a few nostalgic gems.This episode is equal parts heart‑opening and energizing. Maggie reminds us that world‑changing work often begins with one small step, one act of noticing, one moment of saying yes. Her story is a testament to what can happen when compassion meets action, and when we allow ourselves to show up fully—messy bun, milk stains, and all.Settle in for an episode that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Watch the film, Between The Mountain and the Sky here.

Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common congenital conditions worldwide, yet effective care goes far beyond repairing a visible deformity. It requires long-term, multidisciplinary support that addresses speech, hearing, dental development and psychological wellbeing. In this episode, Brian Sommerlad, a surgeon and Chairman of CLEFT, shares four decades of experience in cleft care across the UK and low and middle income countries. Drawing on extensive work in places such as Bangladesh and Nepal, he explains why short-term surgical missions alone are not enough and how well-intentioned philanthropy can sometimes undermine local health systems. The conversation explores what sustainable cleft care really looks like. Brian outlines CLEFT's distinctive approach, which focuses on training local professionals, funding non-surgical roles such as speech therapists and orthodontists, and supporting multidisciplinary teams that can continue delivering care long after external support has stepped back. Key topics include: What cleft lip and palate is, how common it is, and why it affects far more than appearance The lifelong importance of speech therapy, hearing support and dental care The psychological and social impact of cleft conditions on children and families Why teaching and capacity-building create more impact than simply doing operations How poorly designed NGO activity can unintentionally weaken local services The value of treating local clinicians, hospitals and governments as equal partners Practical insights into allocating philanthropic funding for long-term benefit Brian also reflects on his own journey from medical training in Australia to international work spanning Vietnam, Bangladesh, Iraq and beyond, offering candid observations on what has and has not worked in global health over time. This episode is a thoughtful examination of how healthcare philanthropy can move from short-term intervention to lasting change, with lessons that extend well beyond cleft care alone.

When Bhuwan Kandel moved from Nepal to Gippsland in 2007 to pursue higher education, there were very few Nepali-speaking people in the region. Now a practising paediatrician, Dr Kandel says the regional city has become home, as the Nepali community there also continues to grow. Stories of migrants from various backgrounds building new lives in regional Victoria, including that of Dr Kandel, are featured in a new documentary titled Shared Table: Regional Heroes. During the film's premiere in Melbourne, SBS Nepali spoke with director and co-producer Nandita Chakraborty, producer Niru Tripathi and Dr Kandel about the movie and what it means to make Australia “home”. - भुवन कँडेल उच्च अध्ययनका लागि सन् २००७ मा नेपालबाट रिजनल भिक्टोरियाको शहर गिप्सल्यान्ड आएका थिए। त्यति बेला त्यहाँ नेपाली भाषा बोल्ने मानिसहरू निकै कम रहेको उनी बताउँछन्। अहिले बाल रोग विशेषज्ञका रूपमा कार्यरत डा. कँडेल भन्छन् कि नेपाली समुदाय पनि विस्तार हुँदै जाँदा गिप्सल्यान्ड नै अब उनको घर बनेको छ। डा. कँडेलजस्तै रिजनल भिक्टोरियामा बसोबास गर्दै आएका विविध पृष्ठभूमिका आप्रवासीहरूको जीवनकथा समावेश गरिएको वृत्तचित्र ‘शेयर्ड टेबल: रिजनल हिरोज‘ हालै मेलबर्नमा प्रस्तुत गरिएको थियो। उक्त चलचित्रका साथसाथै अस्ट्रेलियामा नयाँ जीवन निर्माण गर्ने बाटोका बारेमा निर्देशक तथा सह-निर्माता नन्दिता चक्रवर्ती, निर्माता निरु त्रिपाठी र डा. कँडेलसँग एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

This episode is being recorded from Lukla in Nepal, the gateway to Everest and the Khumbu Valley. A place where life happens at altitude, infrastructure is limited, and when something goes wrong the community cannot rely on fast backup arriving from down the road. Fire, rescue, and medical emergencies here are dealt with by local people, on foot, in extreme conditions, often hours away from definitive care. At the centre of that reality is Sonam, the local fire chief, and the community he serves.We talk about how Everest Fire and Rescue has grown in just three years, from almost nothing into a functioning rescue capability spread across multiple villages, built on training, trust, and sheer determination. You will hear what emergency response looked like before this project existed, why equipment alone was never enough, and how the focus has shifted toward sustainable training, local leadership, and protecting the people who live here year round. This episode will give you perspective, challenge some comfortable assumptions about rescue and resilience, and leave you with a clear understanding of what it really takes to build a fire and rescue service from the ground up in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.Donate to Everest Fire and Rescuefind out more about Everest Fire and RescueInstagram Everest Fire & RescueAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Send us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Send us a textIt's been more than to months since I posted an episode, so I thought it was about time I was in touch. I'm speaking from the top of a hill, catching my breath as I look back at the ocean and a large island beyond the harbour. Continuing my walk I can see snow on the local mountain, so it's quite chilly here, for the west coast of Canada. I've been thinking a lot about the podcast. I do plan to continue it, with a focus both on Nepal and Canada. The government here has been making lots of changes to immigration rules in the past couple of years, and I want to talk to Nepalis about how they've been affected. They could be people already living here, those who planned to come — and have maybe changed their minds — and even those who have to leave now because of a new rule. You can help by putting me in touch with people you know who have stories to tell. If they don't want to be identified, we can arrange that. Text me with their info at the link at the top of the notes above, or email me at nepalnowpod(at)gmail.com. Meanwhile, I will keep talking to people and plan to post the first interview in January 2026. Until then, Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and I'll talk to you next time.Support the showShow your love by sending this episode to someone who you think might be interested or by sharing it on social media:LinkedInInstagram BlueSkyFacebook Music by audionautix.com.

Nepal is home to some of the world's most iconic wildlife — from tigers, rhinos, and elephants to lesser-known species like pangolins and medicinal orchids. Yet behind its breathtaking biodiversity lies a complex struggle against wildlife poaching, illegal wildlife trade, and habitat loss. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we speak with Kumar Paudel, founder and director of Greenhood Nepal, one of the nation's leading conservation organizations working to combat wildlife crime and promote community conservation across the Himalayas.Kumar shares his inspiring journey from a childhood in the mountains of Nepal to leading national efforts in biodiversity conservation. Through his work with Greenhood Nepal, he has helped transform the country's conservation landscape — from early advocacy against poaching and corruption to the establishment of community-based monitoring networks and policy reform. Under his leadership, Nepal became the first nation to achieve zero poaching of rhinos, elephants, and tigers, an achievement rooted in strong enforcement, military protection, and deep community engagement.The conversation delves into the evolution of Nepal's conservation success. Kumar discusses how community intelligence and local anti-poaching networks have become vital in protecting wildlife across national parks and buffer zones. Yet, he warns that while attention often centers on charismatic megafauna like tigers and rhinos, smaller and lesser-known species such as pangolins, tortoises, and orchids face rising threats from illegal wildlife trade and unsustainable harvesting.Greenhood Nepal's work along the China–Nepal border provides critical insights into cross-border wildlife trade networks, revealing the motivations behind trafficking and empowering enforcement agencies through training, data sharing, and behavioral change campaigns. Kumar also highlights their pioneering research on orchid conservation, mapping over 500 native species — including more than 100 medicinally important orchids — and developing sustainable management plans that align with CITES compliance.The discussion also explores pangolin conservation, where Greenhood has led community outreach, identified priority habitats, and hosted Nepal's first Pangolin Conservation Roundtable, catalyzing national policy action. Kumar explains how the team's on-ground efforts — from habitat restoration to education and enforcement — have shaped the future of biodiversity management in Nepal.Beyond enforcement, Kumar reflects on the importance of compassion and understanding. His most memorable conservation experience came from visiting prisons and speaking with wildlife offenders, gaining firsthand insights into the socio-economic pressures that drive poaching and wildlife trade. His reflections underscore that sustainable conservation depends on addressing poverty, awareness, and opportunity — not just punishment.We also revisit Nepal's remarkable success in tiger conservation, where populations have nearly tripled between 2010 and 2022, and discuss emerging challenges such as human–wildlife conflict. As Nepal continues to balance conservation and development, Kumar calls for stronger investment in coexistence strategies, habitat restoration, and community-led solutions.This episode offers an in-depth look at the intertwined issues of wildlife crime, community conservation, and biodiversity preservation in one of the world's richest ecological regions. Tune in to learn how Nepal's story of resilience, innovation, and collaboration continues to inspire the global conservation movement.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

As 2025 closes out, the Suite Spot wraps up with the latest inductee into the TMG Hospitality Trailblazers. CEO of Hotel Equities, Ben Rafter, joins the podcast to discuss all things hospitality and technology and how these two components come together to make the perfect guest experience for travelers. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree here with a very exciting, informative episode continuing our TMG Hospitality Trailblazers. This is our series where we are talking to those industry leaders and brands, management companies that are paving the way forward. I've got an absolutely amazing guest, I'm excited to speak with him today. Ben Rafter, CEO of Hotel Equities. Ben, thank you so much for joining the Suite Spot. Ben Rafter: Thanks, Ryan. Looking forward to it. Ryan Embree: Yeah, we're gonna have fun conversation, talk all about hotel equities, but on the Suite Spot we do a little tradition where instead of just doing your normal bio, I actually like handing it over to our guests to kind of talk through their hospitality journey. because sometimes you get a little bit more insights. Us hospitality people, we got mentors. We come from different brands, sometimes fall into hospitality, quite frankly. You know, talk to us, our Suite Spot hotel audience, a little bit about your hospitality journey and what led you to your role as a CEO over at Hotel Equities. Ben Rafter: Sure, I fit into the fall into it category, without a doubt. I was a, uh, tech guy for better part of 15 years, mostly startups. Sold two of 'em and after selling, the second one was locked out of the industry for a year and got a phone call from a hotel guy. And he said, what are you doing? You want to come to Mount Everest with me? And just because nothing better to do for the next month. We packed up and headed over to Nepal and on about the third day he said to me, so what do you think of the hospitality industry and hotels? And it was dumb enough to open my mouth and give him my opinion that you needed to sort of fuse together larger than life hoteliers, which was his background and kind of quant tech data, guys like me. And over the next 20 days, we hashed out starting a hotel company literally on the side of a mountain, in this case. And after that ended, it was 2008, the market crashed. We had a new president. I flew to Hawaii and we started with four hotels in Hawaii. And it's been nonstop ever since. So definitely not a traditional way to get into the industry. Ryan Embree: Yeah, yeah. You give new meaning to kind of climbing the corporate ladder, so to speak, when, when talking about that. But I think that's what honestly makes hospitality so fascinating. Because yours, honestly, a lot of the majority of the guests we talked to Ben, hospitality was not their final destination, so to speak, what you were talking to. But I think it brings new perspective and obviously insights into an industry that, quite frankly, we're gonna talk about it in a minute, but needs some more technology integration into hospitality right now. And to fast forward to today, obviously a strategic merger in May, 2025 with Springboard Hospitality. It's been extremely busy second half of the year for you and your team, including a couple exciting announcements we're gonna talk about in a second, Ben. But, you know, can you share some of the biggest kind of takeaways and lessons you've learned for the business, over this past six months? Maybe give us a state of the Hotel Equities as you would say. Ben Rafter: Yeah, absolutely. I mean one thing, coming from sort of independent and generally either gateway market or leisure focused. You learn how diverse some of these markets are and how much different it is running a courtyard or a Rest Inn or a Hamp...

What if one of the most famous monsters in the world…wasn't just a legend of the mountains - but the centerpiece of a secret Cold War operation?High in the Himalayas - where the air thins, the snow never melts, and the mountains feel ancient and alive - Sherpas whisper about screams echoing across the ridgelines.About something powerful enough to snap a yak's neck with a single blow.About a creature that walks like a man… but is anything but human.For centuries, locals have known it by another name: the Yeti.This week, we ascend into the frozen heart of the Rooftop of the World to explore the legend of the Abominable Snowman — from ancient Tibetan tapestries and monastery relics, to chilling eyewitness encounters, to the famous footprints photographed on Himalayan glaciers.But the mystery doesn't end in the snow.Because in the 1950s, as the world edged closer to nuclear war, the Yeti attracted the attention of a Texas oil heir named Tom Slick — a millionaire adventurer, monster hunter, and possible CIA asset who funded multiple expeditions into Nepal, attempted to trap the creature alive, and smuggled alleged Yeti remains out of the Himalayas… with the help of Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart.Together, we'll trace the tangled trail of folklore, footprints, secret missions, and unexplained deaths that make this one of the strangest stories we've ever covered.

Un caz izolat de lepră a fost confirmat în Croația, relatează RTL Danas. Ministerul Sănătății din Zagreb a declarat că este vorba de un lucrător străin din Nepal care locuiește în Croația cu familia sa de doi ani. Pacientul s-a prezentat la serviciul epidemiologic din Split în urmă cu aproximativ zece zile, având simptome caracteristice leprei. Boala a fost recunoscută în timp util și au fost implementate imediat toate măsurile necesare. Bărbatul este tratat, contactele sale apropiate au primit terapie post-expunere. Acesta este primul caz de lepră din Croația de după 1993. Lepra este o boală infecțioasă cronică cauzată de bacterii. Se transmite în principal prin tuse sau strănut după un contact prelungit cu persoana infectată. Aceasta poate fi vindecată chiar dacă procesul durează mult, de la 6 până la 12 luni.   Comisia Europeană atrage atenția Slovaciei asupra deficiențelor politicii sale vamale. Ar putea fi inițiate proceduri judiciare pentru nerespectarea reglementărilor Slovacia este în urmă cu implementarea unui sistem vamal digital pentru transportul aerian, relatează aktuality.sk. Conform Comisiei Europene, Grecia și Slovacia nu au implementat pe deplin Sistemul Național de Import (NIS) sau Sistemul de Depozitare Temporară pentru Transportul Aerian (TS Air). Aceste sisteme sunt componente cheie ale cadrului vamal digital. Statele membre au fost obligate să le implementeze pe deplin până la 31 decembrie 2023. În ciuda avertismentelor oficiale anterioare din partea CE, trei state membre încă nu au implementat aceste sisteme și nu au furnizat planuri credibile de implementare pe termen scurt. Republica Cehă a amânat implementarea NIS până în prima jumătate a anului 2026. Grecia nu a finalizat încă implementarea TS Air, care a fost amânată până în 2027. Slovacia intenționează să implementeze TS Air abia în 2026-2027. Prin urmare, Comisia a decis, ca următor pas juridic, să emită avize motivate împotriva Republicii Cehe, Greciei și Slovaciei. Aceste state membre au acum la dispoziție două luni pentru a răspunde Bruxelles-ului și a lua măsurile necesare. În caz contrar, Comisia Europeană ar putea decide să sesizeze Curtea de Justiție a Uniunii Europene.   Împletitul de coșuri din Polonia a fost înscris pe lista UNESCO. O tradiție poloneză recunoscută după 18 ani de eforturi Împletitul de coșuri din Polonia a fost înscris pe prestigioasa Listă Reprezentativă a Patrimoniului Cultural Imaterial al Umanității de către UNESCO, relatează National Geographic Polska. Anunțul oficial a fost făcut pe 10 decembrie 2025, în timpul celei de-a 20-a sesiuni a Comitetului Interguvernamental pentru Protejarea Patrimoniului Cultural Imaterial de la New Delhi, India. Acest moment simbolic încununează aproape 18 ani de eforturi ale comunității poloneze de împletit coșuri. Nowy Tomyśl și Rudnik nad Sanem sunt principalele centre ale acestei tradiții. În Nowy Tomyśl, salcia este cultivată încă din secolul al XVIII-lea, favorizând dezvoltarea acestui meșteșug. În 1878, prima școală de împletit de coșuri din Polonia (Szkoła Koszykarska) a fost fondată în Rudnik nad Sanem. Împletitul de coșuri este unul dintre cele mai vechi meșteșuguri din Polonia. Implică împletirea manuală a coșurilor din materiale vegetale naturale, în principal salcie. Salcia este materia primă utilizată de 90% dintre producătorii de coșuri din Polonia. Munca lor  nu se limitează la împletit, ci include și cultivarea, recoltarea, decojirea și pregătirea materialului. Astăzi, împletitul de coșuri capătă o dimensiune din ce în ce mai artistică și este adesea practicat mai degrabă ca hobby, decât ca profesie.

In this week's episode, I had a grounding conversation with Laura Montesanti about why travel can be a practice of healing rather than a form of escape. Laura shared how the silence of Covid helped her reconnect to purpose which led to creating Synergy The Retreat Show, a trade event designed to change how our industry does business by placing wellbeing, community and experiential practice at the center. We explored the idea of destination energy, the importance of designing retreats that truly regenerate people and places, and the small accessible practices such as breathwork, smiling and mindful time in nature that can make wellness feel normal and available to everyone. Laura's stories from trekking in Nepal to living in Montenegro show what becomes possible when place and human connection align. If you work in travel, hospitality or wellness or if you want a holiday that feels meaningful and restorative this conversation offers a powerful lens for rethinking travel.Inside this podcast:The origin story of Synergy and how the quiet of Covid revealed a new purpose. Why retreats can be tools for transformation rather than escape. How community and experiential design create deeper and longer lasting business relationships.

What would a Jungle Guide in Nepal do? Guide you through the Jungle. What would the Spirit of truth do? Guide you into all TRUTH! What would an evil spirit guide do? Guide you away from truth further and further into error lies, deception, distraction, derailment, and bondage. Which are you following?

“Same Roots, New Roads” is a conversational podcast where two Nepali hosts unpack the realities of growing up in Nepal, sharing honest stories about identity, heritage, and the immigrant experience. In this debut episode, they reflect on the long and complicated journey that brought them to America, from navigating immigration processes to facing the emotional weight of leaving home and the balance of two cultures.

2025 was a year of global protests. More than 70 countries across every region of the world experienced anti-government demonstrations. Some of these movements — such as those in Nepal and Madagascar — led to the toppling of governments; others emerged in countries with little history of protest, like Tanzania. Many were youth-led, with Gen Z protesters drawing inspiration from one another across borders. My guest today is Thomas Carothers, director of the Democracy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he runs the Global Protest Tracker. Drawing on data from the Tracker, he and co-author Judy Lee recently published an essay on the drivers of global protests in 2025, which we discuss in our conversation. We begin with some big-picture global trends before turning to a longer discussion about whether Gen Z–led protests can be considered a global movement.

Bei ihrem dritten Besuch in den „Reiseflops“ erzählt Julia Finkernagel von ihrem allerersten Trek in Nepal, der mit einer eiskalten Dusch-Überraschung endete. Außerdem berichtet sie von einer Dschungel-Experience in Laos, bei der eine Nacht im Baumhaus traumhaft war – die andere aber alles andere als das. Und dann wäre da noch eine unvergessliche Busfahrt durch Kambodscha, bei der ihr Rucksack kurzerhand beschloss, seine eigene Reise zu starten.----------------------------------Über das Format "Weltwach Reiseflops":Niemand scheitert gern – auch nicht auf Reisen. Aber im Nachhinein betrachtet ergeben die kleinen (und etwas größeren) Pleiten und Pannen unterwegs oft die schönsten Erinnerungen – und amüsantesten Geschichten.Genau die gibt es in dieser Show: Weltwach-Moderator Erik Lorenz zelebriert mit seinen Gästen genüsslich Stories von großen Rückschlägen und kleinen Fettnäpfchen, von Zumutungen und schmerzhaft erlangten Einsichten, fernab von Instagramability und aalglatten Abenteuergeschichten. Warum? Weil ein bisschen Schadenfreude glücklich macht. Und weil sich immer wieder zeigt: Hinter der Niederlage lauern wertvolle Lektionen. So mündet auch das hingebungsvollste Jammern für gewöhnlich unweigerlich: in einer Liebeserklärung an das Reisen. Du hast einen wahnsinnig witzigen oder lehrreichen Reiseflop erlebt und möchtest uns davon erzählen? Großartig!
