Healing With The Ancestors: A 3-week workshop

We live in a culture that trains us to think of ourselves solely as individuals - that the trajectory of our work, contributions, pain, trauma, suffering, joy, and healing are contained to the bounds of our single lifetime. A great many other cultures around the world and through time nurture the idea that each one of us is playing a small role in an ancestral lineage that is specifically ours and which spans decades, centuries, and generations. How would you understand your own life’s path differently from this viewpoint? How would you feel about your life’s work, your pain/trauma patterns, and also your joy differently if you experienced them as connected to a lineage of ancestors and descendents (whether or not the descendents come from your body)?

Join Ancestral Energy Healer and death doula Naomi McDougall Jones for a three-week sacred exploration through ceremony, ritual, and journeying into the realms of your ancestors. Through these three sessions you will uncover and deepen your relationship to your lineage, shift your understanding of your life’s journey in relationship to a broader sense of time, and develop a meaningful and ritual-based connection to your ancestors, which can contribute to your own healing.
