This group invites a reconnection to our ancestral lineages through meditation, healing, and repair, to inspire our action to end injustice in the world, with the support of our wise and loving ancestors.
Practices we will be in together include: directly engaging with our ancestors of lineage, working with unhealed patterns in order to relate more wisely and compassionately to ourselves and our people, inviting connection with the Earth through tending our relationship to land and spirit by offering gratitude, and listening and receiving the Earth’s wisdom. This ancestral healing work makes it possible for us to more fully embody our commitment to justice.
💥 This group is offered through the practice of radical generosity.
Suggested donation per session: $20-75.
