Each of us have well & wise ancestors…

How does the process work?

This work is based on the work of Daniel Foor of Ancestral Medicine, and puts you in direct contact with your well, loving ancestors. It is based in an animist approach to life and healing, or the belief that there are “other than human” beings in this world who are equal in importance and power to us. This includes those that have passed on from this human life.

We begin with an assessment of your four primary lineage lines, which includes your mother’s people on both her mother and father lines, and your father’s people on both his mother and father lines. Through a process of deep ritual safety, ritual & spirit work, as well as somatic experiencing, you are guided to perceive the relationship you are having with your ancestors and the impact it may be having on your life. We are all impacted by and relating in some way to those that have gone before us, whether we know it or not. It is just about our willingness to understand that impact and turn toward that relationship.

Once we establish this connection, we begin working with one lineage at a time for the purpose of repair, healing and relationship.

Some of the benefits of this work include:

• Release of long held patterns that have been difficult or impossible to heal and integrate

• Deeper understanding of personal gifts, calling and life path

• Improved relationship with body, culture, place and living family

• Improved human relationships and healthy attachment

• A deeper sense of belonging and purpose

• Resolution of toxic patterns, addiction, and trauma

• Experience of spiritual gifts, intuition and embodiment

In addition to this work, these sessions also teach or deepen ritual skills such as:

• Strengthened connection and trust in intuitive faculties

• Learning to create healthy energetic boundaries within self and home space

• Building an authentic relationship with Spirit, earth, the place you are living and the higher powers connected to you

• Developing energetic & spiritual perception

• Defining your most authentic way of connecting to the sacred and what that means for your life

• Developing rituals and practices that honor lineage, culture, spiritual lineage, earth, and truth in a safe way

This work is best experienced in 3-5 sessions or more. It’s important to know that this is about building a relationship that is meant to nurture and support you throughout your life. In our culture of quick fixes, which often don’t work, this is a process. And when tended with commitment and respect, it has the power to profoundly change your life.
