We live in times of profound social, political and ecological unraveling. We cannot avoid the influence of previous generations on our lives and societies. Our ancestors carry wounds from oppression, war, migration and other collective traumas. We can see this on every scale, from persistent family “traits” (i.e. inherited traumatic patterning) to the continuation of collective patterns of harm, such as policing and ICE violence as legacies of slave patrols and institutionalized white supremacy in what is now the U.S. Reckoning with ancestral burdens and reclaiming ancestral gifts is as vital as ever to help create the world we dream of.
In this 5-week experiential circle, we will facilitate connection with our wise ancestors and initiate healing with one of your lineages. The practices are safe and accessible. The work is held in an anti-supremacist, earth-honoring way. People of all cultural and spiritual backgrounds and identities are warmly welcome. No knowledge of your ancestry and no prior experience are required, though a background in ritual and personal healing can be supportive. Together, we will co-create a culturally aware, welcoming and trauma-informed container to hold us in this sacred healing practice.
