"I don’t say I found my truth, but I found my way."

Ina Mehrfert is an elder and part of the Kiva ceremony for the Healing of the Earth, a ceremony taking place worldwide with elders from across the globe. (https://kiva.family)

Ina grew up in the German Democratic Republic, Eastern Germany, which is now part of the Federal Republic of Germany. From early childhood, she sought the connection with nature, and communicated with the forest.

In this episode, she speaks about the indigeneity of Women in Europe and Germany, about radically trusting and following one's calling, and about the necessity for humans to connect with their roots and gain power from there.
"I am here to serve Mother Earth and my sisters and also my brothers, because they are also searching."

At the age of 19, Ina followed the call of the North wind to go to Russia. She walked there by feet, without a plan of where to go, and met her first shamanic teacher. Her job since has been to help humans reconnect to their peace, their ancestors, their roots.
Listen in to hear Ina speak of connecting with the grandmothers, letting go of “baggage” in the form of stories, of suffering, of dreaming, of living in abundance, ritual in everyday life, and the importance of intention. She gives some practical tips of how you can connect with your grandmothers and integrate ritual into your everyday life, too.
Ina offers sweat lodges, Celtic ceremonies, coaching and more. You can find her here: https://www.instagram.com/ina.mehrfert/
“We have our stories. But I am not here to carry this story. I close the book of suffering, I close the book of violence. (…) Now we have the time where we need to close these books. And we will not open a new chapter. No, we open new books.”


“We are in a beautiful dream. We can choose to live our traumas, but we also have dreams. And I encourage everybody to live the dream, where we are calling for this new world, where we all live in abundance, where we all live together, nourishing each other, respecting each other.”"I really love the roots of the German Women. They have fire in their ass."
