✨ Don't miss the bonus card pull I did with Akilah's RFP deck in the outro of this episode, it is on point!

Akilah is a mother, partner, and liberation worker who helps people unlearn the barriers to being our real selves together, in our homes and all the other ways we connect, work, and serve.

Akilah is also an Integrative Thanatologist supporting the messy human process of release and remembrance, creating spaces to process loss in its many forms—the death of a loved one, a role, a dream, a version of themselves, or of a child/children in their lives.

Akilah’s advocacy and organizing work has received national press including Forbes Magazine, Washington Post, National Public Radio (NPR), NBC TV, CBC Radio, and print publications, including The New York Times. Her book, Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work is available in select bookstores, via PM Press, local libraries, and Amazon.

Episode 25: This is an incredibly rich episode full of mic drops, connection, stories full of wisdom, offerings of ritual & so much more!

You won’t regret listening!

Feel her pull the oceans across our planet.

Experience her steadiness as she faces us always, never turning her head to look at the cosmos.

Glorious Full Moon 🌕 in Leo 🦁 my Beloveds 

Watch this episode on Youtube@AmanaBeLove 

I met Tamara (virtually) when my soul sister Ashleigh gifted me a year ahead astrology reading from the Wild Sky Sisters at the end of 2023. This included 40 min readings from both sisters Tamara & Angie. The readings were so potent I have gone on to not only purchase myself additional reading but gift readings from the Wild Sky Sisters to friends & family. I am super into experiential gifts over physical ones. 

 “Tamara McLellan is a lionhearted woman, mother, sister and daughter, living in the beautiful Okanagan.

She works as an astrology + meditation guide weaving into her work all the ways that nature is part of who we are. That we are not outside of nature, but that we are nature and that what we work with in life is often a reflection of what is going on inside of us.”

I hope you enjoy this alive & vibrant dialogue with Tamara where we chat about the following & more:

~ Being Wild

~ What is Ancestral Astrology

~ Writing her first book: The Shark and the Sunshine: One Woman’s Relentless Quest for Freedom

~ Tamara’s travels around the world & how it brought to her awareness new ways of living

~ Embodying healthy aggression as women 

~ How we are emerging into a new time as females with the rise of the Solar Feminine Archetype 

~ Death, seeing her grandmother’s dead body and finding her strength in the threshold space. 

~ Confronting death with an HIV scare in South Africa

~ The culture of mourning and wailing in grief in other cultures. 

~ We believe the tide is turning and wisdom around grief & death is rising 

~ Tamara shares how she incorporates a death ceremony the night before when she is marrying people so that they can grieve their single selves. 

~ We are on the brink of a new kind of existence as humanity 

~ The impact a Self Marriage Ceremony & making Marriage Sacred again

~ Radical self responsibility and leadership

~ The need for all of us to be singing our own songs, painting our own pictures and sharing our unique gifts with the world
