LATEST EPISODE

From Elder to Ancestor

In this episode I welcome Kelly Harrell, an animist, deathwalker, and death doula, to discuss her nature-based soul-tending practice and her latest book, From Elder to Ancestor: Nature Kinship for All Seasons of Life. Kelly delves into animism’s crucial role in her work, the necessity of grounding and embodiment, and the importance of developing a relationship with our environment and ancestors, both human and non-human. The conversation touches on the broken path from our animistic ancestry, how we can begin mending it, and the profound wisdom in becoming a true elder. Kelly also shares practical tips for connecting with nature in urban areas, embodying spirituality, and the role of death work in healing intergenerational and environmental traumas.

Host

Greetings! I’m Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 35 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. I’ve spent the past 19 years teaching courses in philosophy and religious studies. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike’s Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world’s wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and  engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.
