About Kari Tauring
Kari Tauring is a Völva (Old Norse for staff carrier),
sharing her ethnic heritage through performance/workshops. Völva
stav is a unique expression of the Indo-European Folk Soul. Her artistry,
driven by a passion for her own heritage, combines twenty plus years of
scholarship and practice and performance of runes, stav (stick rhythm),
poetry, songs, dances, and the healing and spiritual arts. Kari has summoned
the Heathen (pre-Christian) origins of her folk soul into her Immigrant
Era heritage bringing Northern European spiritual and artistic expression
to a new level.
Kari balances Northern European traditions with her North American ancestors
to create a healed and unified heritage. She is a bridge walker through
time and space of global proportions!
