Transforming Domination Culture from the Inside Out

Spring Ancestral Healing Circle starts on Monday!

Healing Our Ancestral Past
is Essential to Transforming Our Present and Future

 

Last chance to sign up for our Spring Ancestral Lineage Healing Circle—an 8-session journey into resourcing yourself by invoking ritual clearing and protection, connecting with bigger-than-human supportive powers, and unburdening yourself and your living family through ancestral healing. Our first gathering is Monday!

 

Ancestral lineage healing removes the spiritual nails holding together the foundations of systemic oppression that are the root of our escalating cultural troubles

“Angela’s commitment to reckoning with how forces of oppression disrupt our ancestral lines is a needed intervention in a climate where so many healers, unfortunately, choose to spiritually bypass. To anyone in search of ways to recover from the toxicity of mainstream culture, I cannot recommend Angela enough!” —Malik, Washington, D.C. 

 

Ancestral lineage healing is for everyone, even if your connections with living relatives haven’t always been supportive, close, or nourishing (even if you’ve never met your blood relatives)

“I came to ancestral healing pretty disconnected and, truthfully, not all that interested or engaged since I’ve never had much connection with blood relatives….This work is full of miracles. I am now healing my mother’s mother’s lineage with the support of my mother, who I haven’t had a relationship with for most of my life….I understand who I am now at a more bone-deep level.” —Adrianna, Peru

 

Ancestral lineage healing is the radical work of intuition reclamation

“My ancestors feel more real to me than I thought possible. Now I feel less alone and more supported in a very tangible way. The work we did around intuition reclamation has made it easier to trust my sense of knowing as I continue to explore my spirituality. It feels like it shifted my life in a big way.” —Adrian, WA

 

Ancestral lineage healing transforms your relationships with living family and yourself in surprising ways

“Angela’s expansive framework for this practice is spiritual, political, practical, therapeutic, and decolonial. Since beginning this work I have already experienced profound transformations in my relationship with my mother, which has felt entrenched for years.” —Eliana, CA

 

Ancestral lineage healing emphasizes ritual safety and spiritual boundaries (which ultimately help us navigate our relationships with the living, too)

“I have always been interested in working with ancestors and spirits, but have not been sure how to protect myself fully. Angela’s guidance offered solid support on boundaries and ritual safety that have built my confidence for moving forward.” —Cedar Rose, MN

 

Ancestral lineage healing is for people with all spiritual and religious beliefs. We all have ancestors who—whether they are vibrant or troubled—impact us every day of our lives

I appreciate the loving fortitude with which Angela holds the door open. There’s no need to adopt any views or beliefs, but rather just invitations of where to bring your attention and intentions. It felt like breaking up concrete to nourish the soil, so that the essential wisdom in any tradition I encounter can have a place to root.” —Taylor, MA

 

Ancestral lineage healing is the perfect support for these troubled times

“The experience was “magical.” Over these several weeks I’ve noticed that I generally feel lighter emotionally, as though an invisible weight has been lifted from my shoulders.” —Renee, UT

 

Whether you’re new to ancestral exploration or someone who has always felt connected to unseen presences, this is the most impactful approach to personal, familial, and cultural healing that I’ve experienced in a lifetime of intensive spiritual and healing exploration. I so hope you’ll join us for this powerful healing portal that starts this Monday!

Much love and empathy to you and your people,
Angela
