Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensives

Usually intensives produced by Ancestral Medicine have been guided by Daniel Foor, our founder and director and the author of the book by the same name. As of June 2026, some Ancestral Healing Practitioners have progressed far enough through a distinct teacher training to acquire the skills necessary to lead multi-day, in-person intensives.

All Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensives closely follow the first nine chapters of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing as participants connect and partner with ancestral guides to support any among the dead still in need of assistance. Our signature online course Ancestral Lineage Healing also follows the steps of the lineage healing process, and these are the fundamental steps that practitioners are trained to guide in individual session work.

The process itself originated from years of in-person events and session work, and there is an alchemy to multi-day group ritual that is unlike any of the other approaches to the work.

Each teacher or set of teachers will bring their unique style, ancestors, background, language, additional training, and personality to the event. But the underpinnings are the same.

Facilitators of Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensives agree to a code of ethics here: ancestralmedicine.org/code-of-ethics.

Ancestral Lineage Healing is not a substitute for medical or mental health care and not a good fit for everyone. Facilitators do not diagnose or treat physical, medical, or psychological conditions. Participants are encouraged to seek appropriate professional support alongside this work.

Ancestral healing facilitators are not trained to represent specific religious or spiritual traditions, and the Ancestral Lineage Healing method does not presume to reflect ancestor reverence and ritual from any singular cultural background.

In-person intensives may involve guided meditation, ritual, and group sharing. Participation in any practice is always voluntary. Participants are encouraged to work within their own capacity and to communicate with facilitators if support is needed.

When this intensive is facilitated by teachers-in-training, session content and group dynamics may be shared with Ancestral Medicine supervisors for the purposes of training and support. Confidentiality is honored by removing or changing identifying participant information.

Although teachers receive supervision and support from Ancestral Medicine, event leaders are solely responsible for their facilitation and conduct during the intensive and otherwise assume all liability for events they guide.

Ancestral Medicine is not responsible for travel, accommodation, or personal belongings. Participants attend at their own risk and are responsible for their own physical and emotional wellbeing before, during, and after the intensive.

Intensives may include outdoor time, movement, or off-site activities. Participants confirm they are in suitable health to engage and take personal responsibility for their physical wellbeing during these elements. Ancestral Medicine Inc. and its facilitators accept no liability for injury or accident arising from participation. 

By completing your registration with event leaders, you confirm that you have had the opportunity to review this information and that you agree to its terms. Ancestral Medicine, its staff, supervisors, and associated facilitators are thereby released from any liability regarding your participation.
