"Our ancestors didn't have spare resources for anything that was just fun or a luxury. All the resources were for survival. So why did they dance, hum, drum, chant, make cave paintings? Because art and beauty is crucial to human survival." - Dr. Tara Swart
Dr. Tara Swart is a neuroscientist who bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern brain science in ways that'll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about intuition. She's spent years studying how our ancestors survived—not just through logic and planning, but through art, movement, and a deep connection to their bodies that most of us have completely lost. When she talks about humans carving ostrich eggshells 60,000 years ago or making tools more beautiful than they needed to be half a million years before that, she's not just sharing history—she's revealing something profound about what we're missing in our overly rational, disconnected modern lives. That shiver down your spine when you receive unexpected news? That's not random. It's your body speaking a language we've forgotten how to hear.
This conversation will change how you think about those moments when signs seem to appear everywhere, and then vanish for months. Tara explains why that's completely normal, even at the height of her own manifesting practice. She dives into why cultures across the world—from Mexican Día de los Muertos to Aboriginal Australians recognizing ancestors in black cockatoos—all understood something fundamental about staying connected to what came before us. If you've been feeling cut off from your instincts or wondering why your intuition feels muted, this is the conversation that helps you remember what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
