My dance partner today is the lovely and soulful Sara McFarland.
Sara is a storyteller, ritual performance artist, an improvisational singer, a soul initiation guide, a wild mind mentor, and a death doula for The Great Dying.
Sara’s views are rooted in an animist understanding of the world where story and myth and music and poetry are held dear and near to the heart.
Sara helps people initiate into soul, serving as a sort of midwife not just bringing a more beautiful world into being, but helping to dismantle destructive and limiting colonialist patterns of domination, control and disconnection — a vital and important role in these times of collapse, uncertainty and volatility.
We talk about composting and shedding. We talk about passing through this life, the nature of the soul, how we can think about soul, we talk about soul initiation and the role of death and dissolution, old Orpheus and Eurydice, humanity's collective soul initiation in the face of the polycrisis, practical ways for you to root down and feel what you’re feeling, and a bunch more.
