Season 2 Episode 15: Honoring Ancestry, Sovereignty, and Samhain with Tara Wild

Tara talks about ancestral wounds, pre-colonization, and the role of women throughout history, especially in Europe and Ireland

Given her expertise in history and ancestry, she introduces us to the upcoming sacred festival of Samhain, which takes place during a time of the year when the realm of the spirits comes into close contact with our physical realm. It’s a deep time to do ancestral healing and connect with the magic and medicine of being a woman. Tara dives deeper into religion, the other world, ancestral healing, and how we can honor our ancestors.

Tara Wild is a women’s educator, storyteller, and songstress whose expertise is around uplifting nature-based feminine wisdom and ancestral teachings from Ireland and Britain. She is the founder and creator of The Roundhouse, an online membership community focused on guiding women into nature-based feminine wisdom from Irish traditions.
