Whether you love, hate or have no clue about your ancestors, working with them is some of the most transformational spiritual work you can do, and it is fundamental to shamanism. Parts of this work can be easy, straightforward and amazingly beautiful, and parts (particularly as we step into healing ancestors) can be dicey and even overwhelming. That is why I've split the study into two sections. You can take just level one if you want a good introduction, but level one is a prerequisite for level two. 

Psychic and energetic safety is the key in ancestor work, because the ancestral realm is powerful and not always healthy. I will make sure our container is strong and protected so you can do this work safely. 

For more background on working with the Ancestors, read my blog piece called How to work With the Ancestors. Also, consider signing up for the the Ancestor Ceremony on Saturday, October 31. 

Level One: You will learn about and practice with:
  • The four kinds of ancestors (Primal, Blood, Milk and Soul ancestors)
  • The distinction between the dead and the ancestors
  • The difference between well and the unwell ancestors
  • Ancestors who have an interest in you those who don't
  • Constructing clear and firm protection and support from healthy ancestors and spirit guides
  • Beautiful, simple ceremonies for sending blessing and healing across the threshold to the ancestors

​You will do some beautiful personal ceremonial work in these classes. After you register you'll receive an email with instructions and ideas. These classes will also involve shamanic journeying. If you are new to journeying, it's not a problem, you can take this class - but I recommend you download my Shamanic Journeying Guide, or work with another source to do some journey work before the class. There are many books available. 

Level Two: Level One is a prerequisite for Level Two. In this series we will delve more deeply into healing  the unwell ancestors. You'll accomplish a lot of healing on behalf of your ancestors in this class, and you'll learn a system for continuing that work. I want to be clear: This series of classes won't heal all of your ancestors - that is a long task for all of us. But you will accomplish a lot in these classes, and you'll learn how to approach the work safely so you can continue it.

Working with the ancestors should not be taken lightly. This work creates effects in your current life. It often shifts relationships with family as negative ancestral influences are attended to. It can shift your relationships with people in your life and with yourself. You will be expected to do homework between classes, and please don't take the homework lightly because it is for your protection. ​​

In these times I'm trying to make my work as economically accessible as possible, so I offer variable payments. Please pay what you are able to pay. 

The payment button  below is for those already in Level One who want to add-on Level Two.

Also I encourage you to look into doing DNA testing through a site like AncestryDNA or 23 and Me to uncover your ancestral mix. It's generally about $80 and takes about five weeks.
