A wonderful weekend seminar with Mary Bolingbroke BSc.(OST) on October 25th-26th that can be attended in London or online. The ancestral 'other world' and this one are inextricably linked. Healing in one world strengthens and enables the other. The connection goes both ways, but over the last centuries this link has weakened or even fractured. Many of the current difficulties faced in our world, environment, society and families are due to this fracture. Without our elders and our ancestry we can feel alone, homeless, lonely and afraid. With them we reconnect to their constant love, care, concern, insight and protection. Our ancestors have a job description, ‘to look after the living’, but without us they have no agency. This two-day course will include guided meditations, experientials and hands on work in pairs. Online participants can join in the practice sessions from home, and Video recordings will be available.
We will explore:
- How our fear of death, dying & the dead alters inter-generational relationships
- What other factors damage our ancestral connections and communication, including 'lost' or unrecognised babies and children, unresolved trauma including exclusion, abandonment, guilt and shame
- Why being in a two-way relationship with ancestors is beneficial
- Survival, epigenetics and how the nature of ancestral trauma affects our mind, body and spirit and that of future generations
- Healing through family ritual, beliefs, behaviours and lore
The nature of tissue memory and which organ systems and areas of the body carry our inherited beliefs and behaviours
- How to explore your family tree and finding areas where there may be damage and breakdown in communication
- Healing techniques and how to help (including a review of Family Constellation Therapy).
