OUR CONVERSATION

• The way that goddesses associated with specific parts of the Irish landscape connect people from around the globe
• Saoirse’s own story of being born in Ireland, traveling to live in Australia and Bali, and how her travels have enabled her to come into relationship with her own culture in profound ways.
• Claiming our rites of passage as women. Her own journey through her days as a maiden, partying and caught up in corporate life, to becoming a mother and stepping into being of service in a new way. 
• What happens when we remember we have thousands of ancestors rooting for us
• Following the yogic tradition, but seeking deities who were from her own lineage
• The powerful influence of Jen Murphy’s work (hear her most recent KnotWork episode Fite Fuaite)
• Áine Tyrell, an Irish singer songwriter who has devoted herself to the indigenous people of Austraila
• Mother wisdom needs to rise up within all of us, regardless of gender, regardless of whether one has birthed children. The need for care in all ways right now. 
• Rebel Ma and Saoirse anthology projects exist to uplift all women, but especially marginalized voices
• “You don’t want to die with the dance still in you”
