This month, we are honoring the guest speakers of our Lineage Recovery Course:
Max Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives (1970) to research and document global women's history. She teaches with images from her collection of some 50,000 photos of female cultural heritages across time and space. She is internationally known for her expertise on iconography, matricultures, patriarchy and systems of domination; medicine women, shamans, witches, and the witch hunts.
Sara Axtell is part of a learning community called Healing Roots, which brings people together to learn about the role of culture in our lives, how it can support our well-being, and be a resource in our racial justice work. She teaches about culture and community in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota.
Sìne McKenna is a singer, teacher, song writer and storyteller who is devoted to sharing her ancestral treasures with other kindred spirits. She began her work in 1990, after living on the Isle of Skye and working with language activist Sir Iain Noble. She is devoted to working with song, blessings, and ritual associated with death and dying, as well as paying homage to the cycles of the moon.
