Professional Development Fund
for Practitioners in Training
At Ancestral Medicine, we offer vocational trainings in two disciplines: ancestral healing (2016–present) and animism & earth healing (starting in 2026). The first equips participants to guide others in Ancestral Lineage Healing practices and the second empowers trainees to lead transformative, place-oriented ritual with our other-than-human kin.
Keeping these trainings accessible is core to our mission. This especially applies to participants from less robust economies around the world and/or who face different forms of marginalization based on race, gender, religion, etc.
We already offer extensive scholarships, and this fund helps offset those costs. Your contribution helps to make these trainings more accessible to those who might not be able to participate and helps to ensure that our global network of practitioners can build sustainable, thriving practices aligned with their unique gifts and callings.
Another excellent way to support our skillful practitioners and practitioners-in-training is to visit our Practitioner Directory and, when at all possible, pay their full regular rates for session work. Sessions are now available in nearly 30 languages and as many nations around the world.
We thank you for your support.
