Imelda Almqvist. Shamanic Sacred Living. The power of imagination.

Ciara enjoys a deep exploratory conversation with Imelda in this episode. Imelda's shamanic work extends across working with children, holding sacred space for deep group immersions into the ancient teachings. Alongside a formidable brain, Imelda's heart shines through as a mother of three boys, an artist of shamanic wisdom as well as a brilliant writer. Highly recommend signing up to her newsletter as that is magic alone!
