Animism & Earth Ritual
Practitioner Training
Learn to safely and effectively guide
Earth reconnection and service work for others.
About the Training
Participants will learn to guide a transformative process of reconnection and cultural healing through relating with our other-than-human kin. The approach emphasizes the importance of place as well as our capacity to relate at depth with people of different cultures and bodies (human and otherwise, seen and unseen).
The training will empower you to lead individual session work (online or in-person) as well as to strengthen the fundamentals needed to guide group ritual and on-the-land offerings if moved to do so. Those who complete this training will be able to support others in carrying out depth service work with the land and in embracing a calling to stewardship and Earth service.
Learn to guide sessions focused on relating at depth with our other-than-human kin.
Acquire new frameworks and skills for ritual and relationship with specific places.
Vision and carry out a place-focused service project and learn to support others to do likewise.
Cultivate tools to embrace Earth stewardship amidst accelerated cultural change.
Expand your offerings to include Earth-based ritual work in one-on-one & group settings.
Training Overview
The training unfolds over 13 months (February 2026 – March 2027), followed by a self-paced period to complete certification requirements.
The primary components of the training include a blend of live and pre-recorded teachings, guest presenters, small-group and individual mentorship sessions, peer practice exchanges, and a place-focused service project with the land where you reside (see Training Structure below).
Our approach builds on the well-established and proven model used in the Ancestral Healing Practitioner Training, now in its eighth cycle.
Over the course of the training, you’ll learn to guide others in Earth reconnection through three core “bundles” of ritual skills (see Training Curriculum below). The primary focus will be to prepare you to facilitate one-on-one sessions, online or in person. The teachings can also adapt easily to group work and other outdoor, place-focused offerings.
Training Structure
The training is structured around three “Practice Intensives” and accompanying “Interim and Integration Periods.”
During Practice Intensives, you’ll be asked to watch a pre-recorded lesson on the weekly topic along with a demonstration video. You’ll attend a practice session with your peers to enact new skills. Then you’ll attend a Q&A call with Daniel to review and integrate new learning. This pattern repeats weekly for four to six weeks, three times over the course of the training (see the Training Schedule below). Time commitment during these periods is at least 6 hours per week, and Practice Intensives make up 4 of the 13 months of the training.
Between Practice Intensives, there will be two-to-four month Interim and Integration Periods. During these times you’ll be required to complete peer exchanges, attend small group and individual mentorship sessions, attend teachings from guest teachers, and attend demos and teachings with Daniel. During the second interim period (Sept – Dec 2026) you’ll begin to design and enact your place-focused service project. The time commitment during these periods is at least 4 hours per week. Interim periods make up 9 of the 13 months of the training.
To complete phase one of training and begin to see public clients as a practitioner-in-training (as early as March 2027), participants must:
- Complete (or make up) all three Practice Intensives
- Carry out 25 practice sessions with peers in the training
- Attend (or make up) 8 demo teachings with Daniel
- Attend (or make up) 8 teachings with guest ritualists
- Attend (or make up) 6 thematic teachings with Daniel
- Complete 6 small group and 1 individual mentorship meeting
- Receive backing from Daniel to proceed to see public clients
Requirements to complete the second and final phase of the training are as follows:
- Attend at least two group supervision sessions
- Finish your personal place-focused service project
- Document 50 total client sessions of different types
- Complete a case study showing positive client outcomes
- Carry out a final session with Daniel to complete certification
There’s no set deadline to complete the training. Regardless of when you complete, certified practitioners will eventually be expected to engage in modest ongoing education as part of maintaining an active standing in the Practitioner Network.
Eligibility & Prerequisites
This is an advanced training intended for those with a strong foundation in personal healing, ritual arts, and Earth-honoring practice. Much of what you’ll learn will build on prior experience—without groundwork behind you, some teachings simply might not make sense. Please read the three subsections below carefully before applying.
While participation in this program supports personal healing and growth, the emphasis is on learning to guide practices of Earth and place reconnection for others. We expect applicants to be anchored in psychological and spiritual well-being prior to joining. We ask that you have an already established practice in healing arts, Earth-centric service, and/or cultural change work. This work will serve as a foundation from which to put new skills into practice.
Qualities that we’re looking for in applicants include:
- Ongoing commitment to personal, cultural, and ecological healing and wellness
- Vocational calling to serve others through ritual arts, spiritual practice, etc.
- Foundation of personal ancestral wellness including awareness of your lineage histories
- Deep commitment to work for anti-oppressive systemic change (in whatever form)
- Historical and ecological literacy and commitment to ongoing education
- Interest in being part of an emergent, international community of peers
Examples of the professional backgrounds that could be a match include: holistic healers, psychotherapists, activists and community leaders, artists, diviners, ecologists and Earth scientists, writers, educators, farmers, practitioners of traditional and/or Western medicines, and priests of diverse traditions. Even if none of those describe you, if you feel deeply called to support others in the work for Earth reconnection and ritual, we encourage you to apply.
Coursework. Animism & Earth Reconnection (formerly known as Practical Animism or as Loving the Earth/Being the Earth) is the only required course. You may sign up for the course and apply for this training at the same time. Registration is open now for both, and the course begins in September 2025. If you have already taken any version of this course with Ancestral Medicine from 2018 till now, then you have met this requirement. If you’re not sure, just send us a message.
Ancestral Wellness. We ask that you come to this course with two of your four primary ancestral lineages in a healed state, according to our method, Ancestral Lineage Healing. This requirement is about beginning the training with a baseline of ancestral wellness as well as being able to share a common language around ancestral healing. Paths to two healed lineages may include any combination of the following:
- taking the course, Ancestral Lineage Healing and actually working through the process at depth
- working with someone in the Ancestral Healing Practitioner Network. If cost is a barrier to accessing sessions, find low-cost (and sometimes no-cost) sessions on our Collective Action page. If this is how you’ve met the requirement we’ll ask that you share a statement from them either in your application or by email that you’ve completed at least four sessions (the work itself is likely to take more time) and that they believe you to be in a healed relationship with at least two lineages of your people. If this is new to you, please allow plenty of time for this tending, it’s important and can’t be rushed.
- if you’ve completed lineage healing during an in-person intensive, let us know which intensive in your application
If you’ve moved through the Ancestral Healing Practitioner Training, any ancestor-related prerequisites are already covered. Please note that having all four foundational lineages in a healed condition is a prerequisite to guiding public sessions in this work (possible as early as March 2027).
Earth Awareness. This is difficult to measure, and we ask that you use this area of your application to demonstrate that you’re experienced with relating to the larger community of our other-than-human kin. This may look like prior training in some form of Earth-honoring ritual, formal study in a related field, serving any aspect of other-than-human communities, or whatever you believe demonstrates an informed and invested stance around shifting the global ecological crisis. We ask that you not be brand new to relating consciously with the Earth and the many beings.
Cultural literacy. The learning environment is a no-supremacy zone. Participants are expected to engage in open, honest conversations about systemic harm. Kindness is the vibe, and teachings will not shy away from uncomfortable truths; nor will they cater to fragility or colonialist views. This space is designed for those inclined to face difficult realities with minimal defensiveness. If this is newer to you, but you’re open to learning, consider our Inhabiting the Times course as one starting point.
Psychological Well-being. We cannot dictate what this means for you, but at the very least, it likely means you’ve been in therapy (or things like it) and have a relatively low level of reactivity when difficult ideas or dynamics come up. It’s alright if your childhood or early adult life was a total disaster, we just need to know that you’ve been working on it, and that unmetabolized trauma won’t prevent you from showing up reliably well in your service and training. If you have doubts, let us know directly in your application.
Ritual Skills. This is a service-oriented training in ritual arts, and it is most definitely not entry-level. We are not able to cover all “the basics.” You’ll need to already be well acquainted and generally solid with the fundamentals of holding ritual space. This can look 1,001 ways, but most importantly it looks like being tempered and pragmatic over years of lived experience. You likely also have some form of personal, embodied spiritual practice. If other elements align, but you need to shore up this element, consider Foundations of Ritual course to help get you where you need to be.
Online Access and Comfort. The training is largely held online using Ancestral Medicine’s course portal (a learning platform), connection space (message board), and Zoom for live teachings. You’ll need a reliable internet connection, a relatively quiet space during teachings and practice sessions, the ability to use and/or install applications for accessing documents and recordings, and an openness to engage in online spaces. If you don’t want online learning to be one part of your journey with Earth-honoring ritual arts, this training is not a match for you.
Availability for scheduled group exchanges. You will be expected to attend live teachings live as much as possible, though recordings of all teachings are also provided. We do keep track, and if you miss too many it may impact final certification. Weekly practice exchanges during Practice Intensives and group mentorship meetings are especially important to attend, as your peers’ learning experience is impacted if you don’t show up. Practice exchanges are not recorded and require a make-up.
Bandwidth for the training. The three Practice Intensives are four-to-six weeks each and require at least six hours per week. The training requirements during the interim periods between intensives will require an average of three to six hours per week. If you’re doing several other trainings or tend to take on too much, it’s important to be real with yourself about your ability to engage in this training at this time.
Willingness to spend dedicated time on the land where you live. In addition to the required training hours and elements, we expect participants to spend dedicated time among the other-than-human kin near to you. If accessibility is a challenge (e.g., urban living, body limitations) you’ll simply need to modify the invitation to get out on the land, but there’s no substitute for spending quality, dedicated time nurturing along these other relationships.
It’s better if you’re feeling resourced. We ask that you check in with your direct knowing and ancestors to confirm that you’re in a sufficiently resourced place to benefit from this course and the depth work entailed. The material is not extreme (see curriculum below), but it’s tender terrain that’s best traversed from a place of internal stability.
Training Curriculum
Skills Bundle One: Sessions of Reconnection, Healing, and Guidance
Focus: This bundle teaches you to guide one-on-one sessions to help clients relate skillfully and respectfully with our wider community of other-than-human kin. The sessions center on four core intentions:
• reconnection and friendship
• emotional and cultural healing
• personal and collective guidance
• cultivation of wisdom
Timeframe:
• Practice Intensive One (Feb-Mar 2026) transmits the basics of guiding sessions described above
• Interim One (Apr-Jun 2026) centers on practicing new skills through peer exchanges, weekly teachings with Daniel and guests, and small group mentorship.
Skills Bundle Two: Place-Focused Ritual and Service Work
Focus: Learning to relate deeply with the complexity of place—understanding how land holds layers of ecological and spiritual vitality and disturbance. We’ll draw from both traditional knowledge and modern science to explore these dynamics. Skills include crafting ritual with and for the land, with the intention to heal human impacts, honor vitality, and live in respectful coexistence.
Timeframe:
• Practice Intensive Two (July 2026) transmits the basics of guiding place-focused sessions
• Interim Two (Aug-Dec 2026) continues with peer exchanges, regular teachings, and small group mentorship. Your place-focused service project will also begin to take shape during this time.
Skills Bundle Three: Stewardship and Cultural Transformation
Focus: Deepening Earth reconnection through themes of communion, long-term service, priesthood, and cultural transformation. Practitioners-in-training learn to guide sessions for future clients called to step into deeper layers of stewardship and sustained communion with land and place.
Timeframe:
• Practice Intensive Three (Jan 2027) transmits the basics of guiding these more specialized sessions.
• Interim Three: This final integration period (Feb-Mar 2027) focuses on practicing new skills while deepening with one's service project.
• Beginning in April 2027, trainees who are ready may begin to see public clients while working to complete their certification process. Group supervision, peer support, and free continuing education offerings continue in an ongoing way.

About the Instructor
Daniel Foor
Daniel is a doctor of psychology, experienced ritualist, and the author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing. He is an initiate in the Òrìṣà tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa and has learned from teachers of Mahayana Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, and the older ways of his English and German ancestors. He is passionate about training aspiring leaders and change makers in the intersections of cultural healing, animist ethics, and ritual arts. He lives with his wife and two daughters near Granada, Spain in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Frequently Asked Questions
At AM, we have a strong ethic of accessibility. We welcome applicants of diverse backgrounds with respect to ancestry, geography, and life experience. Reduced-cost spaces may be limited in this first cycle as the cohort will be on the smaller side but no less intensive from the production side. Nevertheless, we encourage you to apply—financial need is considered after merit, and we often find a way to make it work. If cost is a barrier, let us know what you need.
We get that people have other commitments and that life is messy. This training is designed with some elements that trainees can complete on their own schedules, and all required full-group teaching calls held over Zoom will be recorded. We aim to provide ample options for international participants.
That said, group mentorship meetings, one-on-one exchanges with peers, practice intensive small-group sessions, and group supervisions all require live participation, and all of them are scheduled after the training begins based on what’s possible for you. Meaning, for many training elements, you’ll just need to stay responsive, schedule ahead, and show up for what you decided.
Basically, we expect attendance in a reliable and engaged way similar to any university course or professional training. There are ways to make up what you miss, but you need to lean in, stay in dialogue, and join live as often as possible.
A more detailed training schedule will be available at least six months before our first gathering in Feb 2026, and there will be a mixture of times that work for all regions on Earth. Partly we wait a bit to draft this schedule until we have a better sense of how many people from which regions on Earth will join.
You’ll get an auto-confirmation right after applying, and most applicants will receive a response within two weeks. Applications close by January 5, 2026 (or sooner if spaces fill), so early applications, especially from those seeking financial support, are encouraged. If it’s been more than 14 days with no reply, check your spam and then email us at info@ancestralmedicine.org.
The earliest you can complete certification is a few months after starting to see public clients in March of 2027, but most people will take longer based on their pace and the nature of the work. There’s no hard deadline, though after a year without certification, you will need to renew your trainee status through very modest continuing education offerings—at no extra cost—to keep things current.
Yes. The training is designed to be accessible to people with different physical abilities.
There’s no in-person retreat requirement (there almost was, but we decided against it), so you can fully participate from where you live. Practices that involve engaging with the land are adaptable—whether that means visiting a wild place, a city park, or simply relating with the others in your immediate environment. The focus is on cultivating connection, not physical exertion. All elements can be adapted to your capacity.
The first cohort will be limited to 32 participants. This reflects a limit of eight people per small mentorship pod and four total pods. Each pod meets six times with Daniel, and each participant also has two individual mentorship sessions.
Interest in places for the training is likely to exceed availability, and we don’t have any set date for when we will offer the training next, although that’s our intent.
This training is distinct from and complementary to the Ancestral Healing Practitioner Training. Many participants in the first cycle will likely have completed that training, but it’s not a requirement. However, applicants do need a strong foundation of ancestral well-being and experience holding space for others for this training to be a fit.
In some ways, this training is a more advanced undertaking than the ancestor-focused training. Working with land, elements, and other-than-human kin can be less predictable than engaging with blood ancestors. Without solid ancestral foundations, this work can be destabilizing.
The two practitioner trainings share some structure, values, and community agreements and are held under the same Ancestral Medicine umbrella. Over time, the Practitioner Directory (where the public can search for someone to work with) will reflect who is certified in one or both pathways.
In general, being “animist” is a core values at Ancestral Medicine. Courses that speak to the material of this training include: Animism and Earth Reconnection (formerly known as Practical Animism or Loving/Being the Earth), Animist Psychology, The Opening Earth, and Inhabiting the Times. Ancestral healing, our other primary focus, is essential for grounded relationships with the other-than-humans.
This training grows from more than two decades of Daniel Foor’s work, in particular, the decade he spent from 2004-2014 guiding land-based ritual, primarily in the form of outdoor, place-oriented gatherings in the San Francisco Bay Area (mostly Ohlone and Miwok lands) of California, USA. This work focused on relating well with the land and the other-than-humans.
While Ancestral Medicine as an organization has focused primarily on Ancestral Lineage Healing and cultural repair work, teachings on animism and Earth ritual have always been a parallel thread. With more spaciousness in his personal life, and after eight cycles of the ancestor-focused practitioner training, Daniel is finally ready and able to bring this body of work forward more fully.
Certification here means you’ve trained in a specific set of learnable skills rooted in animist ethics and cross-cultural, Earth-honoring ritual arts. It’s not a claim to mastery, but a marker of readiness to serve responsibly and with integrity. It’s not viable for most people in 2025 to try to recreate an idealized village-life residential apprenticeship model, so we proceed with clear agreements and expectations, center the land and the spirits, and stay humble and responsive.
While we don’t replicate traditional apprenticeship models, we uphold clear standards, relationships with land and spirit, and shared ethics. Across cultures, ritual arts often involve training, mentorship, and permission to guide—this is our contemporary, pragmatic version of this. Learning design, pedagogy, and effective transmission of culture are not Euro-colonialist inventions; they are universal preoccupations.
The training also fosters a collegial network of ritualists grounded in shared values. In the absence of intact village-based cultures, these kinds of networks offer mutual support, accountability, and cultural resilience. This collegiality is active with the 250+ practitioners of Ancestral Lineage Healing in over 25 nations, and we envision a similar degree of mutual support among the ritualists in this training and emergent network.
Ancestral Medicine is both animist and anti-supremacist in its values. We only share from specific traditions when they’ve been freely offered, and always with humility and clear attribution. This training does not teach you to carry any particular traditional lineage. Instead, you’ll learn Earth-honoring practices that are grounded, ethical, and adaptable to your own ancestry, place, calling, and cultures of origin.
Daniel’s influences include his German and English ancestral traditions, West African orisha practice, ecopsychology and training as a psychotherapist, Islamic Sufism, Buryat Mongol teachings, participation in Lakota ceremony and the Native American Church, and experience with Zen retreats and dharma practice—always approached with respect and accountability. The heart of this training is learning to move in right relationship with the land, your people, and the unseen, not replicating anyone else’s tradition.
In every cohort, we are not only looking for individuals with promise as ritualists of skill and integrity, but also those who represent diverse places, peoples, and life-experiences. We navigate this in four ways:
1) We invite a lot of space for cultural-level dialogue and hold a shared understanding that it’s not going to be perfect, but we can be kind. We encourage trainees to speak to whatever dynamic may need to be addressed, and that cultural healing is inseparable from ancestral and Earth healing. Within this, we agree to hold an ethic of humility, curiosity, kindness, and giving one another the benefit of the doubt when tougher moments need to be navigated.
2) We practice bringing what’s happening to our ancestors, the land, and other sources of guidance. They’re the container for the larger work, including for teachers and staff. We slow down, resource with them and listen in together when the waters are fraught or when cultural pain is present. In this way, we balance modern political frameworks and analyses with the sometimes surprising wisdom of our ancestors.
3) We’re committed to having a culturally diverse, international cohort, which both adds beautiful complexity and also means you’re unlikely to be the only one with any given concern if/when they arise. This opportunity for generative cross-cultural exchange is part of the training model.
4) Finally, although Daniel is the lead teacher, the training model includes many voices and perspectives of people of diverse ancestries, genders, nationalities, and life experiences both from within the Ancestral Medicine Practitioner Network and outside guests.
The combination of these shared values – an ethic of kindness, direct ancestral dialogue, commitment to anti-supremacist values, and diverse representation among guest teachers – leads to good outcomes most of the time. And when it’s hard, we show up for the process, honor our organizational values and policies surrounding conflict, and ask our ancestors and guides to hold us through it all.
Although this is the first cohort of this training, it’s the ninth cohort of a successful international vocational training in ritual arts, and we’ve learned some things along the way.
Yes, both. This training prepares you to guide primarily individual sessions both in-person and online, and then to build on this foundation, if moved, to craft group ritual offerings.
You’ll learn three main skill areas (see the Training Curriculum section): Earth-reconnection personal sessions, land-based ritual and service projects, and ways to channel Earth wisdom in ongoing service. Group facilitation is supported, especially if you already have some experience, and all trainees complete a land-focused, service project as part of certification.
This is a professional training for ritualists, healers, therapists, and other kinds of cultural repair artists who feel called to guide animist, Earth-honoring practices of healing, group ritual, and reconnection. This means that the material may be challenging and activating in ways that call for resourcing outside the training with whatever nourishes you.
The more psychologically whole and resourced you are before the training starts, the better – as the focus will begin and remain on acquiring and embodying ritual facilitation skills for the benefit of others. In other words, it’s decisively a professional training in ritual arts, with an eye toward trainees feeling personally supported in a kind and caring ritual vessel.
Deep ritual work carried out in partnership with the spirits of place local to you will inevitably surface material for healing and personal growth; this is fantastic and to be expected. In this practice, we take this to our ancestors/the Earth and other sources of guidance directly and also to the space of peer sessions, which can be scheduled in abundance at no cost with kind and trusted colleagues in the training. In this way, there is a built-in element of everyone also doing their own personal work while also learning to guide a thing for others.
This is the first time we’re offering this specific training, so there aren’t testimonials yet. However, you can read reflections from past participants of the Ancestral Healing Practitioner Training, or reach out to practitioners in our Practitioner Directory. Feel free to use the filter function in the Directory if you’d like to connect with someone of a particular background.
You’re also always welcome to ask questions of our team and teaching staff by emailing: info@ancestralmedicine.org.
