About Kari Tauring
Kari Tauring is a Völva (Old Norse for staff carrier),
sharing her ethnic heritage through performances and workshops. Völva
stav is a unique expression of the Indo-European folk soul. Her artistry
combines twenty plus years of scholarship and practice of runes,
Norse lore, stav (stick rhythm), poetry, songs, dances, and the healing
and spiritual arts. Kari has summoned the Heathen (pre-Christian) origins
of her ancestry 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!
Teaching through performance, workshops, recording and writing, Kari has gained an International audience.
