I’m so glad to be back here reconnecting with you via podcast magic. This episode features the wonderful Lara Veleda Vesta, who was also a guest on episode #81. There is so much about Lara I appreciate – her wisdom around chronic illness and disability, her incredible story telling skills, her kindness and generosity and her willingness to be in awe of life.

Here is some of what we talked about: 

• Building spiritual sovereignty, community and self-trust
• Relating to myths and archetypes through difficult times
• Expanding what ancestral practice can be
• Adapting our practices to changing needs and abilities

Lara Veleda Vesta, MFA, is an artist, author, storyteller and educator transforming chronic illness into a path of healing and reclaiming. She is the author and illustrator of The Moon Divas Guidebook, The Moon Divas Oracle and the newly released Wild Soul Runes: Reawakening the Ancestral Feminine. Her research interests include ancestral connection, mythtelling and disability as initiation, and she is currently creating a mythic book on death transitions. Her path of folk magic, ancestor lore and ritual practice is shared through classes at the Wild Soul School and with her patron community: www.laravesta.co
