About this Event

with Ream & Joseph B. Shumway

Ancestral Lineage Healing is a practice of building direct relationship with your blood ancestors in service of personal, family, and cultural healing. With a strong emphasis on safety and discernment, this work helps you connect with wise, well ancestors (and supportive ancestral guides) and learn how to partner with them to bring healing to your lineages—reaching back through many generations.

If you’ve already done meaningful personal healing and feel ready for deeper breakthroughs, Ancestral Lineage Healing can be a powerful next step. This framework weaves together grounded psychological insight with cultural healing and spiritual/ritual practice to help resolve patterns rooted in intergenerational trauma and collective pain.

As relationship with both recent and more ancient ancestors strengthens, many people experience restored “lost” blessings, more ease in relationships with the living, and a growing sense of belonging, clarity, and purpose. (No knowledge about one's ancestors or prior experience is required).

This session is open to all, with a focus and emphasis on supporting queer folx. If you think this space is for you, it is; and we welcome you!
