Sacred Sites with Dartmoor's Daughter
from Voices of Dartmoor · host Moorland Guides
In this episode, we were so delighted to walk from Cold East Cross with Emma Cunis, from Dartmoor's Daughter. With a wealth of knowledge and a deep love of the land, we could have spoken to Emma about a whole range of different subjects but for this episode we settled on delving into the sacred sites of Dartmoor. We chatted about the history of these sites, the various theories about them and why people are still drawn to them today. She introduced me to the concept of phenomenology and explained how she blends it with archaeology on her walks. We also talked about the art of dowsing, the significance of these sites and the role that they play in facilitating connection with the land and our place within it. It was such an interesting conversation and we're very grateful to Emma for sharing her time and thoughts with us. You can find out more about her work and see her upcoming walks at www.dartmoorsdaughter.com.
