Ancestor healing practices for white folx
Stories about my own ancestral lines
Rituals that help bring it all home in this physical world
We are ancestors in the making
Hurt people hurt people; metabolizing our pain so we don’t hurt others
We we are wired for belonging; we have choice about who and what we belong to — old patterns, or the gifts of our lines?
Midwives and death doulas — companions through the chaos
We are in a Great Turning like Joanna Macy describes
It is a time for birthing something new, which is certain to be painful and messy. We can be death doulas for the death of our culture as it is, and we can be midwives during rebirth into something much more sustainable.
Each of us will need companions for our own journey, too
