Join me for a conversation focused on the unquiet dead as a systemic weapon used against us, and them. Let's talk about what unexpressed trauma does, how that trauma is exploited for control, and we can do about it.

Registration is open on my site now.

Just as many practitioners don't talk about the unwell Ancestors, they also don't talk about the ones who intentionally interfere--with you. It's not an accident. It's not a side effect of this Ancestor merely being unquiet. If you are European diaspora on Turtle Island, you have unwell Ancestors who contributed to the current state of the American settler collective.

And they are still working hard to keep those systems in place by afflicting you. They are our cells, our thoughts, our very bones. Possession, stealing your power, poisoning your mind--just a few ways they are attached to you and still active.

They do not just "go away." Talk to me. Let's deal with them. Learn more. Do more.
We can.

I often see well-inteded spirit workers ignore their "unwell" Ancestors. They only focus on their well Ancestors. Focusing only on the well ones merely opens the door to Ancestor tending. In order to actually heal our lines, we have to deal with the unwell Ancestors. Until we do, we keep playing out their dramas, having their trauamas played out on us.

Begin that dialogue by leaning your allies in cosmology and ecosystem. Learn to talk with them. Learn reciprocity with them.

In January I will host another cohort of The Quest Series, which opens many dialogues into our spiritual wellbeing and potential. Join us. Visit my bio link for information.

Our culture fears death, which in my work shows up as the unquiet dead not being moved on.

Yes, that's a fatal flaw in the system, but what if it's by design? What if there's power to be gained from the suffering of our dead?

Some forces thrive on our unresolved pain, when we're alive and when we die. Are you ready to understand the spiritual warfare disrupting deathwork itself?

The tree doesn't grow alone.

The soil holds it. The rain feeds it. The sun warms it.

We're no different.

Every connection matters - with people, with Nature, with ourSelves.

Want to leave a legacy that matters? 🌿

1. Connect with Nature daily
2. Build community
3. Share lore
4. Find interdependence within so you can recognize it without
5. Leave places better than you found them

Legacy isn't about being perfect. It's about being present.

What's one small way you're tending your legacy today?

It's hard to feel connected with the land in settler culture.

It's tough to feel rooted when systems disconnect us.

Yet your unique land kinship is still here. 🌱
It's about finding your personal thread in this place, today, and opening awareness to who you live among.

How are land and home connected in your feels?

We'll explore that and more in The Quest Series starting in January 2026.

Soul Intent Arts - Embodied Soul Tending Through Nature

I’m Kelley Harrell, and I believe we can do better.

I believe we all share the calling to be fit, embodied elders, who upon death become wise, capable Ancestors. To fulfill that calling, we must respond at a soul level. Through actionable animism I teach others to find their unique spiritual paths in support of their quiet dead, healed ancestors, fellow humans, and peaceful coexistence with the spirits of the land they live on.

I’m an author, lifelong deathwalker and animist, and the founder of Soul Intent Arts on traditional Sissipahaw land in North Carolina. As an ordained interfaith minister, I teach others to ethically build a thriving spiritual path. My work is Nature-based, and focuses soul tending through the Elder Futhark runes, animism, ancestral healing, and deathwork.

Elder well, Die well, Ancestor well.
