Selkies and The Healing Power of Myth

The ability to shed one's skin and swim between realms is selkie magic. Let's look into not only the mythology of these primordial creatures but also the magnetic pull of symbolism and myth itself. This week, Callie surprises Amber who shares some of her favorite selkie stories, why she returns to the sea time and again— and she shares some of her personal tales of transformation and healing. We also announce a brand-new offering that we're extremely excited to share with you all.
