An Intimate Video Series with Healers & Visionaries
Ancestors in the Making
Ancestors In The Making is a series of interviews and conversational pilgrimages into the territories of ancestral re-connection & belonging, ritual, ceremony & spirit work, and initiation & rites of passage.
Throughout this intimate video series, we spend time with visionaries and healers as we journey to pick up the lost threads of earth-based wisdom and ancestral ways of living, to remember who we are at our core and how we may fully embody the soul gifts that we came into this world with.
We invite you to wander with us into landscapes that are not often explored and to wonder about what it truly means to be human at this time. This is a call to those who yearn to live more fully and to connect with more heart and meaning to All that is.
Why Ancestors In The Making
The creation of this 8-part series was inspired by a passionate call from our ancestors and the dreaming of the earth, nudging us to engage with the voices of living wisdom existing in our global human community.
This series was co-created in 2021 out of our home in Melbourne, Australia with individuals living in Australia, USA, Mexico and Peru.
Conversation #8: "Ancestral Futures of Re-membrance" with Amanda Jade Fiorino / Tempist

Her work is deeply informed by her ancestors, the lands she has lived with and currently lives with, the liminal, and the dreamtime.
In this conversation, Amanda conjures the terrains and ways of the Trickster as she leads us into the multiplicious and rich worlds that she embodies. We wander into the mysterious and muse on the themes of ancestral liminalism, the deification of grief, the dance with uprootedness and belonging, and what it looks like in Amanda's sacred unfolding and evolution to live at the crossroads.
