GRAIL PRIESTESS
Reclaim the feminine heart of England’s ancient heritage, come home to your sacred medicine, and become an ancestral wisdom keeper
OCTOBER 30th 2026 – JUNE 30TH 2027
8-MONTH DEEP DIVE PROGRAM with TARA BRADING
Designed for all women who identify as English or have English ancestry
It’s time to reclaim the sacredness of land and lineage, blood and bone. It’s time to transform colonial imprints into medicine, and come home to all that you are.
This program offers a clear pathway of reconnection and ancient remembering, inspired by the mysteries of the Grail. Through this personal, cultural, and lineage repair work, you’ll be guided to become an embodiment of the Grail—a vessel of living wisdom & ancestral medicine.
Early Registration Opens in July
THE GRAIL
Since time immemorial, the Grail has been a mythic, mystical symbol connected to Britain and the lands that we now call England: a symbol of transformation, earth wisdom, and spiritual power, held by the hands of women.
In these times of change, the Grail invites us to reclaim our ancestral medicine & inheritance.
This is a sacred calling to remember the wisdom of blood and bone, land and lineage, in deeply powerful ways. To step onto this path is to embark on a quest in which we must dare to ask important questions, seek spiritual truths, and unearth who we truly are by understanding our ancestry, history and heritage.

GRAIL INQUIRIES
How do we reclaim our spiritual roots and heritage, without bypassing England’s history of colonialism, violence and harm?
How do we come to terms with England as Empire, and heal from the predatory mindset that has dominated our culture for generations?
What if we were to re-imagine our English identity in ways that bring forth healing and reconciliation?
And what if the maps back to wholeness are hidden in our Ancient Mythology and Pre-Colonial History?
Many of us who identify as English or have English ancestry feel shame about our colonial history—which can prevent us from embracing our heritage
In a recent survey, nearly 20% of people in Britain said that they feel a sense of shame about the British Empire. These feelings of colonial shame extend beyond Britain, experienced by many around the world with English ancestry.
This shame can make us resist or deny our own ancestors, and reject our history and heritage. But in doing so we also reject ourselves, and hold ourselves back from embracing ALL of who we are.
It’s absolutely possible to feel proud of being English, without bypassing England’s history of colonial harm
For those of us with English heritage, shame about our colonial history and culture is a core wound that’s rarely talked about, and impacts the way we feel about our own identity.
As you’re reading this, perhaps you’re thinking: Yes but how do I deal with my feelings of shame? How do I embrace my English heritage without ignoring the harms of the past?
I want you to know that it IS possible to embrace your English identity in authentic and meaningful ways, without spiritually bypassing or denying any part of yourself. It IS possible to feel a deeply rooted sense of belonging by connecting with land and lineage, blood and bone.

When you say YES to reclaiming the sacredness of your English ancestry, and reckoning with painful aspects of self and lineage…
You can move through ancestral shame and embrace all of yourself...no longer denying your English roots & heritage so you can fully receive the blessings of your lineage.
You can heal colonial wounds of separation; separation from self and spirit, the land and the ancestors, community and humanity, so you can connect to the true essence of life.
You can release complex imprints and stories that have been placed upon you, shed the skin of the colonial patriarchal daughter, and return to your true feminine self.
You can free yourself from wounds of desecration in your lineage, unearth your unique medicine, and feel rooted in who you are the deepest level.
You can stop searching for spiritual truths outside of your own heritage, and empower yourself by finding the answers you seek within yourself & your ancestry.
You can create a living relationship with wise and well ancestors... receiving their wisdom, guidance, and support in ways that make you braver and bolder.
These are some the transformations that women experience on this path of reckoning & remembering. Despite the challenges of unlearning colonial programing and healing from these imprints, there’s SO much beauty and SO many blessings on the other side of the wounds we carry.
THIS IS THE POWER OF THE GRAIL PRIESTESS PATH

Praise for Grail Priestess
“I’ll be forever grateful for this life-changing experience that connected me to my ancient heritage, and opened my sacred relationship to the land, air, fire and water in so many forgotten ways. In a beautifully tended vessel of knowledge, Tara sows the seeds of learning, connecting and awakening. I have grown and reconnected with my primal roots, my ancestors, and so much more beyond words.
I’ve reclaimed my feminine heart…and by discovering and recommitting to my personal, relational, and ancestral medicine, I’ve learned how to be a good ancestor. Through the modules of learning, I’ve committed to my sacred responsibilities, faced the fears of my shadows, and restored the sacred in my life. Tara’s guides and ancestors have given me and my family such a precious gift.”

Who I am & the path I have walked
While I live in the United States, I spent much of my childhood in England and grew up inside of the culture there. My father is English, I have English ancestry, and I have family in England, too.
For a long time I had a complicated relationship with my Englishness… including feelings of shame about England’s history of imperialism & colonization, and its ongoing legacy in the world today. For a long time, I secretly denied this part of my ancestry and heritage, and held deep feelings of shame.
As I have grappled with these complexities, dug deep into the roots of my ancestry, and come face to face with the shadows of colonialism, I have discovered a great deal of medicine that has brought forth a profound sense of reconciliation, healing, wholeness and belonging.
My intention with this offering is to make this path easier for others to tread, so we can remember and reclaim our heritage together in ways that are integrious, courageous, and true.

The Grail mysteries include powerful themes of death, transformation, and life…which is why we will follow this age old path of initiation as the framework for this journey. This will be done in collaboration with ancestors, teachers and guides who will support you through this transformational process.
This journey includes A VARIETY OF SACRED TEACHINGS:
~ Mythology, folklore & history
~ Sacred feminine teachings
~ Shadow work
~ Ancestral healing

Praise for Grail Priestess
“The bones of my ancient ancestors are buried really deep in this land. I feel a real connection with them and love for them. I feel like I’m part of them. I am my ancestors, and they are me. There’s a real closeness to them, like they’re here now…and remembering their ways is how I want to raise my children.
Grail Priestess was incredible. I know that in years from now I’ll look back and see key transformational points in life, and I know that this has definitely been one of them. It was the best investment because I live in England and this is my home, and I’ve been running away from it forever. I lived abroad and traveled widely, and was always searching for something far away in some other place. Grail Priestess has connected me to my home and my feminine connection with the land, which is invaluable.”

JOURNEY INCLUDES
1 Opening Ceremony
In our opening ceremony on October 31st, we’ll gather together in sisterhood and step onto the Grail Path together. This call will serve as a foundational introduction to the Grail mysteries, but will also be an opportunity for you to set your intentions and ground into the circle of women who will be walking this path with you.
14 DEEP-DIVE TEACHINGS CALLS
Throughout our 8 months together, you’ll be invited to 14 deep-dive teaching calls (2 per month). Each call is between 2 and 2.5 hours long, and is recorded for those who can’t attend live. These calls will include a combination of mythology, history, wisdom teachings, guided journeys, sister sharing, and practical guidance. These calls are a great place to ask questions, receive mentorship from me, and connect with others on this path.
ELEMENTAL RITUALS & DEVOTIONAL PRACTICES
Between the live calls, you’ll receive homework to develop spiritual skills and devotional practices that are grounded and deeply practical; such as land reverence, bone tending, shadow work, and more. These practices are an important part of this journey, as they create the foundations of how you will truly live this path beyond this program. These rituals and practices are simple but profound. While they do not require a lot of time, there is a powerful deepening that happens when they are practiced over time.
WISDOM PORTAL, COMMUNITY SUPPORT & GRAIL SISTER ECOSYSTEM
The journey to repair and reclaim our roots is most impactful when done in community, as our heritage belongs to all of us and we each hold pieces of this remembrance. This program will be hosted inside of a private online network (The Grail Priestess Wisdom Portal) where you can engage with the content and with others on this journey. This is a safe space to ask questions, share your insights, and receive community support. For those who want it, there’s also a Grail Sister Ecosystem where you can pair up with another woman on this journey to process, integrate and share as we move through the curriculum. This is entirely optional, but it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect more deeply for those who want it.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FORUM
Inside the Grail Priestess Wisdom Portal, there’s a forum with a wide variety of links and recommendations to expand your knowledge and deepen your path. These resources include information about England’s sacred and historical sites, ancient artifacts, the ancient dead, tradition & belief, English history, England’s ancient goddesses, figures from myth & history, folk music & dance, related fictional works, book recommendations, videos, and more. You will be able to share your reflections on any of the content you engage with, and share your own resources with others.
1 CLOSING CEREMONY
We will come together to close this journey on June 1st, honoring all that we have learned, unearthed and discovered together, and celebrating the ways that each woman has unearthed her unique ancestral medicine and inheritance. This call will include a powerful community-led discussion about how we can create a new post-colonial identity, and what it means to be English in these times of change. This is an opportunity to speak and dream from your heart, and listen to and learn from others in return, creating a resonant field of collective wisdom.
1 INTEGRATION CALL
At the end of our journey, there will be an integration call offered in June. Grail Priestess is a big journey, and this integration period is really valuable. The Integration call will include sharing, questions, and sisterhood support, helping you to bring the Grail Priestess teachings and all of the learnings you receive into your every day life.
Praise for Grail Priestess
“Before Grail with Tara, I had basically shunned my English heritage. I had shame around the hierarchical and colonial nature of it. I had no connection to ancient mythology or folklore beyond a child’s love of Arthurian Legend.
When I first joined, I was excited and a little apprehensive. It’s never easy to face generations of disconnection and harm. But having gone through it now, I can say with full honesty, it’s the most impactful thing I have done on my healing journey. Not only did I have an opportunity to face the wounds I inherited from this lineage, I healed them where I was destined to do so. It liberated me to walk on the path I dreamed of most, not only with rootedness but with an ancestral support behind it. Where I once felt I would never be able, I now know for certainty I will and with a purpose larger than my own fulfillment.
Tara, in my personal opinion, is THE woman to walk with when you are ready to reconcile with patriarchal forces, predatory conditioning and the reality of historical colonialism and our responsibility to reckon with it. Not only does she hold a container with deep compassion, non-judgment, and deep understanding, she holds a space with laser focus on her definition of all of these things. She hands you a power that means something, and guides you through spiritual and practical ways to make an impact in your lineage and within the larger community around you. If you are willing to commit to it, I can guarantee you will have a life changing experience.”

Praise for Grail Priestess
“If you’re hearing the call to do this incredibly powerful, moving and life changing work then do it!!! It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. The gifts and medicine I received from this course with Tara are still unfolding and weaving its way through my bones, my family, my work and every area of my life.”
- JULES GUNDLACH, AUSTRALIA
Praise for Grail Priestess
“I’d long denied my English ancestry to myself & to others, embarrassed by England’s colonization practices. I wasn’t interested in researching that part of my lineage or culture, or even visiting England.
Now, I’m at peace with my English heritage, and I’ve healed so much. Tara helped us dig into the shadows, face our fears, and look oppression in the eye. Through her good work, I feel empowered to bring my voice forward and to take action, in my own way, to support further healing of Mother Earth and all the beings who live upon her. I also look forward to continued ancestral healing with hope and positivity. Thank you Tara!”
- JULIE GANT, USA
Praise for Grail Priestess
“Tara Brading has changed my life forever. My mother’s death had just been a year past when I started working with Tara via The Grail Priestess training. How I found this program was literally the answer to a call from the depths of my despair. I cried out to my Ancestors, and there came an immediate response from them to look into Tara’s work. My mother’s death caused an urgency for me to know who I am and where we (my family) came from. No other work has brought me closer to my maternal family of origin. I feel woven into the Land of my Ancestors, sung into my Mother’s song, and preciously held in a sacred container of love and presence. I carry a feeling of deep connection with my life now. Thank you Tara for your gifts and presence in this world. You ARE making a difference.”
- AMY JONES, USA
Praise for Grail Priestess
“One of the things I have valued most about this program Tara is how you have married history, archeology and folklore to ground the process into something that feels legitimate and tangible rather than regurgitating the typical “love and light ” paradigm with a sprinkle of grail myth. You have given us something meaty with loads of substance. You have taught us that we shine brightest, not in the presence of light but rather in the darkest of shadow. You have unwaveringly stood by us in our most vulnerable moments while simultaneously maintaining transparency as you also navigated some of life’s challenges. Despite your youth you already carry the wisdom of an elder. Thank you for creating this container, it is a deep well of healing and learning and deepening our relationship with self and lineage.”
- TJ WALLINGFORD,

Praise for Grail Priestess
“Tara is a gifted teacher and guide, and the Grail Priestess journey was one of the most profound and thorough healing experiences of my life. Rooted in feminine mysticism, archetypal wisdom, and earth-based ritual, the program created a sacred container for deep personal and ancestral work. In the brave and beautiful space Tara held, I was able to fully reckon with my complex, ambivalent relationship to my English heritage. I’ve done a lot of healing work around ancestral, colonial, and familial trauma, but some pieces can only be met in the safety and witnessing of community. Grail Priestess was that place for me. Within it, I experienced deep, unexpected shifts—healing wounds I had long believed were beyond reach, in ways I could never have imagined.”
