I recently took pilgrimages to Ireland and Glastonbury (mythical Avalon) to connect with the lands of my ancestors. So in this episode, I want to tell you about what happened, how these lands came to me in dreams, and the deep medicine that comes with communing with the stones and waters and sacred sites of these places.
"Ireland kept coming to mind and when I would think about it, my eyes would water and my heart would race and I would feel that yearning."

I would love to hear from you!
Are there any lands that are calling to you? How do you commune with sacred lands?

Ah, Avalon. A wonderful place. The Tor (and around it) is the planet’s Heart Chakra — it’s amazing!
Avalon, my heart is there, it belongs there. Tor, Chalice Well doors to other worlds.
