What you will learn: 
In this webinar with Sylvia you will learn how myth, archaeology, ecological study, and creative practice are all pathways into connection with the matrilineal root systems of Europe. You will learn about Marija Gimbutas, the brilliant and controversial Lithuanian archaeologist who first described a pre-patriarchal "Old Europe".  About how European fairytales still encode Indigenous motherlines of Old European memory, and about how attentive ecological study and nature-connection practices help us orient to the stories held in the land we live within— both human, animal, vegetable, celestial, and more.

Who is it for:
This webinar is for individuals interested in exploring European history, mythology, and ecology through the lens of matrilineal traditions and practices, including historians, archaeologists, mythologists, folklorists, ecologists, nature enthusiasts, creative practitioners, cultural anthropologists, feminist scholars, and spiritual seekers.
