Dreaming the Ancestors
An intimate journey of remembering and reclaiming ancestral stories, feminine wisdom, and earth magic. Throughout the series, I talk with guests from Ireland & the British Isles about ancestral dreaming and remembering as a pathway back to reverent ways of living in the modern world. Through stories, teachings, and personal sharing we’ll discover the greater possibility of who we can be in this time of planetary change.
