What if grief wasn’t something to “get over”... but something sacred to move through?
In this deeply moving episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with Shamanic Medicine Woman Martha Wright to explore the forgotten Celtic practice of Keening, the profound wisdom of death and rebirth, and why embracing grief can become one of the greatest pathways to healing.
Together they unpack Celtic spirituality, shamanic traditions, ancestral wisdom, spirit communication, life after death, and the transformational power of allowing ourselves to fully feel.
Whether you’re navigating loss, experiencing a spiritual awakening, or feeling called to reconnect with ancient wisdom, this conversation offers both practical insights and soulful reflection.
