Embodying Ancestral Blessings: A Six Week Journey into Ancestral Healing

An intimate six week group journey into Ancestral Lineage Repair, following the basic steps of healing one of your 4 main ancestral lineages.  This is a ritual approach for healing from intergenerational trauma and learning a framework to help you stay consciously connected with the well and wise ancestors. 

Join the free taster on the 3rd of September. 

Be on the receiving end of immeasurable support, grace and profound care.None of us are ever truly alone. But we often go through the world as if we are. 

The ancestors are essentially always with us, whether we acknowledge them or not. By reaching out to consciously relate with them, we can more effortlessly receive and embody the gifts that come down our bloodlines, and stay truer to our own path and destiny, without trying to actively solve their issues through our lives. We can rather develop the capacity to stay more present in our own lives and connected with an immense web of support and vitality that comes from our ancestors.

The course will offer an opportunity to learn a life-long 5 step framework for safely and consciously relating with the ancestors through embodied ritual practice. The material shared is trauma-informed, building on the capacity to stay more deeply connected with our bodies, and cross-cultural. The group formed will be up to 12 participants, to ensure there’s the necessary care and attentiveness into each person’s process and the opportunity to form more intimate connections with each other throughout the course of the 6 weeks. 
 

“Whichever road I follow, I walk in the land of many gods, and they love and eat one another. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.” - Linda Hogan

More about working in partnership with the ancestors

This work is rooted in an animist/relational framework which understands the world in terms of relationality. It understands our imbalances and ill-health as related with ill-maintained relationships; with ourselves, other humans, the more-than-human, and the invisible worlds. Starting to repair these relationships and maintaining them, is part of a redemptive decolonial process of being of service not only to ourselves but to the world. 

In the times we live in, supremacist ideologies and behaviors of various types (human supremacy, racism, patriarchy, i.e.) continue to place us as separate from the world rather than as part of it. Coming into a right relationship with our ancestors can form a part of  much needed cultural healing, starting to transform a culture of individualism into one of interdependence. The times we live in are craving for it. 

There are no prerequisites, however, prior experience with inner work and relating with spirit are both helpful. This approach to Ancestral Healing has been developed by Dr Daniel Foor.

This event is open to all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, disabilities and religious beliefs. 

Facilitator

Alex (www.rodihealing.com)  is an integrative and somatic psychotherapist and ritualist supporting people to access a deeper sense of connection with themselves and the world around them. Born in Greece, he has spent many years living in the UK. He has an MA in Dramatherapy, is an accredited Ancestral Healing Practitioner, and has further extensive training in somatic trauma therapy, ecological grief work and processwork. 

Over the past 9 years he has worked as a psychotherapist individually and in groups with people in various situations. His practice focuses on encouraging conversations between body awareness and imaginative/intuitive sensing and sits at the crossroads of creative - expressive psychotherapy, animist/relational principles, contemplative practice and somatic trauma therapy. He accompanies people whilst they heal from developmental and intergenerational trauma, move through profound life transitions, and contend with the realities of grief, death and dying, helping people develop their capacity for a greater sense of wholeness. His ancestors are from the Balkan peninsula, the Black Sea, and the Central and Eastern Mediterranean.

“Alex offered and held a space that felt safe, interesting, suggestive. I liked his care and responsiveness, the way he shared his own experiences and how he has embodied what he's learned.” - Ditta

“ This work was a full body dive into cultivating deeper trust, discernment, courage and imagination.Alex’s facilitation, attunement, spaciousness and care were palpable throughout. He attentively gave guidance, while also allowing for my own pace, process and impressions to emerge.” - Tanya 

“Alex's guidance is sensitive, kind, boundaried and warm. He meets me where I am and brings acceptance, curiosity and skill to whatever I encounter. I have been able to tap into other forms of knowing and seeing and have surprised myself at the level of detail I am able to receive.” - Martha
