DeeplyRooted: Declaring Interdependence with MILLA PRINCE /170
Milla Prince by Koa Kalish
Deeply Rooted is a new offering devoted to inviting relief, balance and abundance into our lives during these uncertain times. We've brought together some amazing folks who we feel are wise stewards of Earth, spirit, community and bodily wisdom who will share a variety of grounding practices and coping tools to lend support during this unprecedented time where it can be easy to feel overwhelmed.
This week, Milla Prince will transport us on an embodied journey away from anxiety, and back into deeper knowledge of our ancient and integral place within the Web of Life. Milla invites us to root ourselves through the very soil, minerals, water and air of our own bodies. Listen in as we shed what is old and give ourselves to the stream of life pulsing through the body of nature.
Follow our Deeply Rooted releases, coming your way on Mondays, to find solace and awaken inspiration through guided meditations, poetry and prose readings, questions for deep inquiry, story-telling, musical performances and more. May these offerings nourish your inner sanctuary and foster resilience, empowerment and liberation.
“You have been here a long time. You have been lightning, you have been a trilobite, you have been a tooth.”

About Milla
“I grew up in the endless boreal forests of Eastern Finland, about two hundred miles from the Arctic Circle, and a hundred miles from the Russian border. My work as a writer and folk herbalist is grounded in my people’s ancestral folk medicine and my culture’s surviving land-based practices. I am also a student of my paternal side’s Palestinian medicine, and love exploring both the striking differences and surprising similarities of the two cultures.
Among my many passions are connecting people with their own ancestral folk lineage with plants and writing about the intersections of old ways, ancient practices and the modern world. Through my work, I hope to share plant medicine, ancestral herbalism, community resilience, reciprocity, land-based healing, animism and folk magic for the wild and wooly times we live in.
I’m an immigrant to what we currently call the USA, and lives on a small island on unceded Coast Salish Territory. In English I use she/her pronouns.”
