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,
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!
Through her performance, workshops, recording and writing, Kari has gained
an International audience.
She was featured on Norwegian television (“Alt
for Norge” tvnorge.no, 2010) a visiting völva back to her
homeland.
