A couple of years ago a client notably exclaimed, “The heavy energy in my family has been kicked down the road for too long. It’s time to say enough!” The power and determination it was said with remain etched in my mind and on my heart.
He clarified what I have always felt, and what has been my draw to ancestral healing.
We can look around the world and see the result of unhealed family lineages. Many of these patterns have been carried for generations. We ourselves may be affected by heavy ancestral energy in our lineage.
The realization that we don’t want to pass on this legacy any longer is powerful. When we heal our family, we heal ourselves and make the world a better place for our children, grandchildren, and communities.
When we honor our ancestors in sacred space, we learn from their wisdom and hear their stories. We also gain awareness around the origins of the dysfunctional patterns and how that pain has impacted our lineage. This insight brings understanding and compassion.
As we offer ourselves as a channel of transformation for our family, the ancestors open to receive the support and healing they wanted but never got during their lifetime. It is empowering to feel the heavy energy lifting out of our body. As we experience the ancestors shifting into a more balanced place, we have a greater sense of peace and a more heart-centered connection to family without all the baggage.
This work is real, and it matters.

2024 ANCESTRAL HEALING CLASSES
1) An Introduction to Ancestral Healing will be offered May 17-19, 2024. This one-weekend standalone workshop will help participants begin to connect with their family system in a healthy way, supported by compassionate spirit guides called family totems and ancestor allies. You will learn to track ancestral patterns to notice where healing is needed, and we’ll do a piece of that healing in the workshop. This class is taught at the beginning level.
2) Another Year 1 of the Healing the Red Thread ancestral healing series begins in August. This will be the third offering of this class. It meets four weekends over one year. You will connect to your ancestors, clear family patterns, release heavy ancestral energy, and bring home missing ancestral soul essence. The Red Thread ancestral healing series is for intermediate levels of experience.
Here’s what one past participant shared about her experience: “Nobody ever got over something because someone else told them it was time to move on. Debra never questioned my drive to keep going, to keep delving into the past. I joined the ancestral healing program because the heavy energy of my past was deeply intertwined with ancestral trauma. Not only did I find relief from suffering, I’ve emerged more resilient and more grounded with a deep affinity for, and understanding of, all those who came before me.”
3) For practitioners interested in learning safe and effective shamanic techniques for ancestral healing, the Ancestral Healing Practitioner Program meets three times over six months. It’s intended for healers with a shamanic practice or a complementary practice. Energy workers, body workers, therapists, and other mental healing professionals who are “shamanic friendly” are also welcome. The unsettled energy in the world right now is bringing unhealed family wounds up to the surface. We need more practitioners doing this work. This series is intended for intermediate to advanced levels of experience.
If you have questions about any of the ancestral healing programs and would like to talk about which one is a good fit for you, please reach out.
