Each episode is themed from the seasonal to the Celtic Festivals and prominent public events. We invite you to cosy by the fire or sit in nature or wherever you are comfortable and notice what Mother Nature mirrors back to you as you listen.

They share a life of ever deepening connection to the natural world. The Ancestral lineage of Shamanism in Ireland, including that of Druidry is a vital vein of resource for them. Karen and John bring warmth, integrity, and gratitude into all their work.
