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

Warm Welcome

& Tha

nks for Being Here!

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

It is my pleasure to be of service to fellow humans and our other-than-human kin as forest bathing and nature connection guide, ancestral lineage healing practitioner, oracular medium, queer scholar and animist ritualist. Based in Vienna, I offer online sessions and 1:1 mentoring, as well as community circles and in-person events in German and English.

Through my own journey to overcome profound challenges caused by intergenerational and energetic burdens, I have learned to partner with helpful ancestors and other wise and compassionate powers to change poison into medicine, turn the tides, and reweave the threads of fate.

By accessing wellsprings of support in the seen and unseen, I help my clients connect with their guiding star, remember their place in the web of life, and embody their unique gifts, joy and magic for the benefit of all beings and the sacred Earth in this time of the Great Turning.

This world is wild, weird and wonderful. And so are you.

With three decades of experience in ritual and nature connection, I hold space for witchy tree-huggers, spiritual activists, gentle souls, anti-fascist mystics, feminist faeries, nerdy academics, starry-eyed socialists, animist queers, sensitive spoonies, Earth-worshipping Pagans, and the weird and wild at heart.

I welcome clients from diverse cultural, religious and personal backgrounds, and specialise in working with empaths and highly sensitives, people seeking to reclaim or deepen spiritual gifts, artists, activists, scholars, those living with chronic illness, disability or neurodivergence, and LGBTIAQ+ folks.

You are warmly invited to book a free 20-30 minute consultation to ask initial questions, clarify what you are looking for, and find out whether one of my offers is a good fit for you. There will be no pushy capitalist sales tactics, strings attached, or witchy spells cast on you.

  • “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.”

    – Rev. Rowan Bombadil, Author of “Igniting Intimacy - Sex Magic Rituals for Radical Living & Loving”

  • “Flora and I met in 2019 at an Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive in Berlin and at another she hosted that summer in her home city of Vienna. She then joined Cohort Four of the Practitioner Training, and over the past five years, I’ve come to know Flora as kind, funny, empathic, and deeply committed to the long-term work of cultural healing.

    In a moment of competition for the spotlight, she’s more likely to be found out feeding the crows, tending to an abandoned gravestone, or otherwise caring for those human and other-than-human kin who inhabit and fall through the cracks of the dominant culture. Flora is caring, reliable, and skillful and I can easefully and fully recommend her offerings.”

    – Dr. Daniel Foor, Author of “Ancestral Medicine - Rituals for Personal and Family Healing”

  • “I wholeheartedly endorse Flora and her gentle, grounded work in the realm of Ancestral Lineage Healing. She brings many healing gifts to her clients - presence, genuine kindness, insight and deep safety. I felt very well met by Flora and her energy - like walking with compassion and curiosity into a beautiful forest together, full of light and shadows, with a sense of having a very steady guide for whatever we may discover.

    As a trauma survivor, these qualities that she seems to hold so easily, really gave me reassurance and confidence to lean into the experience. Very beautiful and potent insights emerged from our session. I'm grateful to Flora and recommend her to anyone seeking an energetically and ritually sound, wise, fun and adaptable practitioner.”

    – Tay MacIntyre, Ancestral Healing Client

  • “Flora is a deep and insightful oracle who not only offers guidance from the high seat, but also takes you with her in spirit to the halls of the great ones for a truly transformative and powerful experience.

    In our session, Flora brought the goddess Freyja through in word and resonance in ways that transmitted wisdom and guidance on many levels. While the words were guiding my mind, I could feel a deeper guidance happening in my body, like the goddess herself was speaking within me, to me. It was magical.”

    – Trece Spalten, Intuitive, Teacher, Healer / High Seat Participant

  • “I really enjoyed exploring the meaningfulness of our deep connection to nature together in this group. I love the playful warm energy that Flora brought to the workshop. It was fun - we got to be starfish! - and at the same time grounding.”

    – Dennis, “Earthly Eros” Workshop Participant

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
