In this webinar Sylvia V Lindsteadt explores traditional patriarchal narratives, emphasising the importance of embodied experiences and interdependence in early European cultures. Sylvia delves into the significance of reimagining European foundation myths for individuals with mixed ancestry, honouring indigenous histories and mythologies. Sylvia also explores the connection between fairy tales, ecology, and ancestral memory, highlighting the transformative power of deep listening and animal tracking.

Through these discussions, Sylvia emphasises the need to reorient ourselves with nature and reimagine practices that have been lost or marginalised. This was a wonderful conversation that is a taster of a course curated and facilitated by Sylvia V Lindsteat called When Women Were the Land, taking place later this year in December.
