Find belonging with our Maternal ancestors, rooted in the bones of ancestral memory, and animist connection.
Regardless of who our ancestors were or what our ancestral lineage may be, most of us find ourselves filled with a longing for deeper wisdom's that only our elders could have offered us. Sadly we are deeply lacking wise elders to help keep us in check and to pass on lineage traditions and wisdom teachings to us.
This is where having the ancestral understanding of where we come from, and the ability to journey into the spirit realm can serve to support us in understanding some of our inherited gifts and faults as we navigate ourselves into or along our destiny path.
Together we will explore and create an ancestral practise that honours who we are, and where we come from, and seek to deepen through daily connection with spirit.
I have spent more then a decade understanding how to navigate the spirit realm and working with my own ancestors for healing and support, and this has led me to the understanding that it is part of my destiny path to teach other women how to unfold into their own destinies and deepen their connections with their ancestors.
This includes the important work of healing family lineage lines and working with our helping ancestors for support as we navigate contemporary daily and spiritual living.
This means dedicated work, ceremony, and the creation of a daily ancestral practise.
Together we will work to heal ancestral family lines, and understand who we are from where we come from, this is intense work, and part of the reason why I prefer to take a full spin of the wheel to dive into it.
Create talismans and sacred objects to aid in our ancestral work.
