WILD REMEMBERING

“The future has an ancient heart.”

 Remembering our Wild and Ancient Heart
through Earth Connection, Ancestral Healing & Ritual Arts

You are loved.
You belong.
You are called by the living Earth.

Come back into relationship with your wise and loving ancestors and rediscover your place in wider webs of kinship.

 

Warm Welcome!

My name is Flora Schanda and I am passionate about supporting others to come into conscious relationship with the more-than-human world and their own kind and helpful ancestors and reconnect with the wisdom, beauty and magic of the ancient heart of this animate Earth.

I am dedicated to being in service to humans and our other-than-human kin as forest bathing and nature connection guide, ancestral lineage healing practitioner, spirit worker and ritualist.

I know an ash stands,
it is called Yggdrasill,
A tall tree poured over
with shining bright clay;

From there come the dews
that fall in the valleys,
It stands ever green
above the Well of Origin.

From there come maidens
possessing much knowledge,
Three from the dwelling
that stands beneath the tree;

Urð one is called,
Verðandi another,
Into wood they carved,
Skuld was the third.

They laid down the laws,
they shaped the lives,
For the children of the ages
they determined all fate.

— from the Prophecy of the Seeress, Poetic Edda

To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear;
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.

— Joy Harjo, from Eagle Poem

Sweet Darkness When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love.
I have been pretty silent on here as the past year has been a bit rough & an unexpected continuation of my "dark night of the soul" underworld journey of recent years, a journey that I hope is finally coming to an end. I am glad for t

“Flora is an extraordinary practitioner and human being, balancing radical compassion with fierce integrity, and bringing a spark of magic with her to everything she does. I deeply appreciate her awareness of social justice and intersectionality and her capacity to hold and honour diversity, difference, and marginalisation. She brings an openness and an abundance of kindness, warmth, curiosity and creativity that make her a pleasure to share space with.”
