Ancestors Online Course Closing Tomorrow, BIPOC Scholarships, & Lineage Healing Intensives

Greetings all!

Hope everyone's in good health and spirits as we approach the generosity of the longest night here in the North.

Tomorrow (Wed, Dec 18th) is the final day until early 2021 to join the Ancestral Lineage Healing Online Course. We have 11 dedicated supporters trained in this approach to ancestral healing, 20 hours of live conference time, and loads of useful resources for your journey. Folks from previous years are welcome back at $75.

North American ancestral lineage healing intensives are coming up in Portland, and Charlottesville and for antipodeans with ancestors in Sydney and Melbourne. We'll have more announced soon and we're just taking a moment to appreciate the 24 successful multi-day in-person ancestral healing intensives in eight countries in 2019.

If you haven't taken note of the scholarship fund, we're raising funds for Black, Indigenous and People of Color trainees in the 2020 practitioner training. Praise to all who have donated; even modest acts of giving are very much appreciated.

Old hurts are easy to replicate and there are many opportunities to be pulled off path and center. There is a place for discipline and rigorous practice. Thanks to each of you for doing what's needed to stay anchored in an ethic of kindness, healing, and service.

With care,

Daniel

Ancestral lineage healing refers to a process of coming into direct relationship with one’s recent and more ancient blood ancestors for personal, family, and cultural healing. This course provides a through and effective step-by-step approach to working with your specific lineage ancestors for this healing intention.

There’s no need for a spiritual calling, specific belief system, or prior experience with the ancestors to participate. All with ancestors, known and unknown, are warmly welcome.

There is no problem with joining the course a little late (registration is open until tomorrow, Wed, Dec 18th). You get lifetime access to all materials and it's a step-by-step process with lots of support along the way.

Online Teaching and Q&A on Ancestral Healing

All are warmly welcome to this two-hour ritual teaching and discussion. Emphasis will be on supporting folks already engaged in this approach to ancestral healing.

Implications of ancestral healing work for working with cultural troubles (e.g., sexism, racism, colonialism, earth disconnection) will be a thematic focus for this teaching, and we’ll also do a bit of dropped in practice/ancestral engagement in our shared time. Particular thanks to Anna Dorian and her students for their interest in the work and being a catalyst for setting up this open-to-all offering.

If it’s helpful to hear a bit about cultural healing elements of the ancestral work that aren’t emphasized in the book, here’s an interview (especially at 18:00 into the talk) and there are others in the media section. I’ll speak to a few principles then follow your questions, so come prepared to ask about what’s alive for you in your practice.

This fundraiser will run Nov 2019 - Oct 2020 and 100% of funds will support BIPOC trainees in the 2020 Ancestral Healing Practitioner Training. This is a vocational training in ritual and cultural healing arts that will support trainees to serve their respective communities and beyond. We understand that ancestry is not the only factor in systemic disadvantage; however, as this aspect of our work is explicitly focused on ancestral healing, we wish to proactively support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color participants who express interest in this offer of assistance. For context 2020 BIPOC trainees are African, Asian, Latino, and First Nations/Native American, Black South African, Aboriginal Australian, Sri Lankan, and Singaporean.
