Our Invitation
There’s nothing strange or esoteric about valuing our connections with the many lives that surround us – it’s one of the most human things we can do. Practices for ancestral connection and healing are about becoming our authentic selves and living in the fullness of our humanity. We begin to appreciate how we are the ancestors to come and motivation increases to leave a more healed, whole, and just world for future generations.
In this free teaching, participants will consider how practices of ancestor reverence and ritual can influence everyday life in meaningful ways. The teaching introduces material that will be expanded in our new course, Beyond Blood Ancestors, and is particularly relevant for anyone engaged in the Ancestral Lineage Healing practice. As always, our shared time will include a guided practice and space for questions.
We are the ancestors to come. How we inhabit this calling depends on our capacity to heal and reconnect with those we came before.
