Introducing Sacred Roots: A Year of Ancestral Healing, FAQ post #4

Can’t God/Spirit just heal the dead, or can’t they handle things themselves? And what to expect in this year-long class.

Dearest readers,

I am sending to you all moments of grounded clarity, of rootedness, comfort and certainty. Sometimes we all just need a moment to feel the security of our feet on a solid foundation, and so this is my blessing to each of you this week. 🤗💖

This is the fourth and final piece in a series of posts to introduce my upcoming year-long ancestral healing class that begins October 1. (While the official start date is October 1, you are welcome to join at any time.) This class will be available to all paid subscribers. Becoming paid is all you need to do to register!

I have spent the last few weeks introducing the topic of ancestral healing by answering a few frequently asked questions. Today we will explore both the question of whether or not the dead can simply heal themselves, as well as getting an overview of what the year-long Sacred Roots class will look like. You can find the first three FAQ posts here:

Can’t God/Spirit just heal the dead, or can’t they just handle things themselves?

Yes, the Divine can heal the dead, and in some cases, the dead can heal themselves. But there's great value in the living playing an active role in this process. One reason is that our ancestors, including the unwell ones, are part of us. When we witness their healing, we also witness our own. The wounds they carry can ripple through generations, affecting us in ways we may not fully realize. By consciously engaging in healing these wounds, we help break cycles of harm and restore balance within ourselves and our family lines.

Another important reason is that, as incarnated beings, we are uniquely positioned to do this work. We embody the timeline that stretches across our lineages, making us closer to the events and experiences that need healing. While the dead can certainly receive healing from Spirit, our presence in the physical world gives us an unparalleled ability to access and transform ancestral wounds. This is a gift we can offer our ancestors.

Through this sacred partnership between the living, the dead, and Spirit, we participate in a more holistic healing that honors our interconnectedness. By doing this work, we help evolve the lineage, ensuring that both we and future generations benefit from the healing we facilitate.

What Can I Expect in This Year-Long Ancestral Healing Class?

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of studying with incredible teachers like Daniel Foor and Christina Pratt, whose wisdom has deeply informed my work. Guided by their teachings—and with the encouragement of my own spirit guides—I’ve developed an ancestral healing process that has not only transformed my own connection with the ancestors, but has also proven deeply healing for those I’ve worked with.

While this process is rooted in the lineage-based methods taught by my mentors, it also offers a middle way—one that balances the structure of lineage with the expansiveness of a collective. Rather than focusing solely on a straight line of direct descendants, we broaden the definition of lineage a bit.

A 10-Step Journey Through Two Lineages

I’ve found that ancestral healing is most effective when approached with intention and spaciousness, which is why I’ve designed this 10-step process to unfold over six months. Each step will be held with care, allowing us to move through it at a pace that honors both the ancestors and ourselves. And since this year-long class gives us time beyond that first six months, we will be able to move through the process twice—healing not just one, but two lineages.

In the second half of the year, we’ll revisit the process, deepening and expanding on everything we learned in the first six months. This cyclical approach allows us to solidify our healing work while going deeper into our relationship with the ancestors.

What’s Included

Each month, you’ll receive:

• Video Lessons & Guided Ritual Journeys: These will be your main touchpoints for the teachings each month, guiding you through the steps of the process.

• Supporting Activities & Journeys: Additional activities will be provided to help you dive deeper into the material and stay connected to the work throughout the month.

• Exclusive Chat Threads & Community Support: We’ll have dedicated chat spaces for each lesson, offering a place to share experiences, ask questions, and connect with others. Community is a key element of this work, and while participation is optional, you’re warmly invited to join in as you feel called.

• Two Live Gatherings Each Month: These gatherings will give us a chance to come together, ask questions, share insights, and feel the collective energy of the group. In an attempt to accommodate many different times zones, the gatherings will be on the second Friday of each month at 5:00pm MT (mountain time) and the fourth Friday of each month at 11:00am MT.

The Modules

Here’s an overview of the 12 modules we’ll move through:

• Module 1 & 7:

  • Lesson One: Creating our hearth rooms and meeting our primary guides.

• Module 2 & 8:

  • Lesson Two: Identifying the primary ancestral wound.

  • Lesson Three: Meeting our ancestor guides and lineages.

• Module 3 & 9:

  • Lesson Four: Containing the lineage.

  • Lesson Five: Witnessing the original wound.

• Module 4 & 10:

  • Lesson Six: Forgiveness practice.

  • Lesson Seven: Attuning to the positive resources of the lineage.

• Module 5 & 11:

  • Lesson Eight: Healing the lineage, the older dead.

  • Lesson Nine: Healing the lineage, the named ones.

• Module 6 & 12:

  • Lesson Ten: Sealing the lineage.

Through this process, you’ll be invited to not only heal ancestral wounds but also to attune to the gifts and blessings of your lineage and build a relationship with this vibrant collective of which you are a part.

A Journey Rooted in Relating

Above all, this year-long experience is about healing in relationship—with ourselves, with our ancestors, and with each other. Whether you join us in the chat threads, attend the live gatherings, or prefer to move through the material quietly, know that you’re part of a supportive and sacred community.

I can’t wait to journey with you!
