Changing Lives With Ancient Wisdom
Your Subtitle text
I must be willing at all times to learn as much as I teach,
to play as much as I work,
to stand in awe of the mystery,
delight in the magic,
honor the wisdom,
and be generous and loving even when I am afraid.
Many years ago I found myself at a major crossroads, a turning point.
The life I had been living, the things I had been doing and the things I thought I believed in no longer felt right. In fact, my life as I had known it was crumbling all around me. I began to question if I was on the right path. The way I had been living was no longer in harmony with what I valued the most.
I asked myself two really hard questions:
What would I be willing to try if I knew I couldn't fail?
What would happen if I really told the truth about my life?
I invite you to ask yourself the same questions, explore your own beliefs and values, question your patterns of speech and behavior, and challenge those places in yourself where you feel stuck or out of balance. I guarantee that if you do, your life will never be the same.
When I finally told myself the truth and stopped living according to someone else's beliefs and ideas of who I should be, I stepped into an exciting and powerful life, one of authenticity and integrity, of aliveness and adventure, of joy and deep satisfaction.
So here I am today. I am a teacher and a storyteller, a mentor and a spiritual guide. My teaching style is a unique blend of silly mischief, ancient wisdom and down-to-earth, pragmatic advice. I dwell in the realm of all that's possible and invite others to live life as an adventure not a sentence. One of the gifts I have is the ability to connect on a vibrational, shamanic level with the ancient runes and intuitively translate and interpret their wisdom so it can be used in everyday life.
I made a vow that I would share this gift with others.
Whether reading the runes, teaching, mentoring or coaching, the wisdom I share is grounded in ancient, earth-honoring spiritual practices and rooted in the practical, creative, magical and intuitive experiences of my own life.
My readings, classes and workshops provide opportunities for others to gain clarity and insight and to explore, create, expand and thrive.
Below is more of my story if you wish to continue.
More than 60 years ago when my mother Sigrid gave birth to me she decided to name me Ingrid, a name that is honored in her Swedish father's family. With sparkling blue eyes, blonde curly hair and a delightful smile it was evident early on that I was related to a long line of imps. The Viking blood of adventure and the song of the Scottish bagpipes runs in my veins, as well as a streak of mischief.
I have played in pastures irrigated with water from the Sacramento River.
I have jumped from hay lofts and climbed to the top of a volcano.
I have wandered cobbled streets, explored castle ruins, walked atop the walls of Tuscan cities and prayed in ancient churches.
I have ridden horses and ridden motorcycles, driven trucks and driven nails and maybe even driven some people crazy.
I have given birth and given notice, written poetry as well as grocery lists.
I love to knit, to read and to travel.
I have slept in tents and under the stars, beside my lover and alone.
Wild, stormy weather and silent snow falls both bring me delight, as do sunshine in mountain meadows and a full moon setting into the Pacific ocean.
I've earned my degree in wisdom, intuition and determination at the University of A Life Fully Lived.
I have gazed deeply into the well of Mimir, dug around in the roots of Yggdrasil and helped weave the pattern of the fabric of my life at the feet of the Nornir.
I have learned to remember who I am in the presence of the triple goddess of Memory, she who gives birth to creativity.
I have listened to the wisdom of the runes as they whisper and roar, trained in the virgin forests and wild places often called untamed but incorrectly called uncivilized.
I have raised children, buried parents and experienced amazement along the way.
When I teach, mentor and guide I speak in the voice of my ancestors and of my offspring.
I share wisdom that is timeless and ancient, modern and practical.
I am always happy to connect with anyone who is interested in remembering who they truly are.
Blessings.
Ingrid
