Keening Over the Bones

You will work with your grief for all that is unfolding in the world through the ancient female tradition of Keening, a practice of the Bean Feasa (Wise Woman). We’ll tap into that lineage which stretches past Celtic Culture back to the era of our most ancient foremothers - the Bone Mothers.
