what to expectyear one: 12 month program
the resource altar
this is year 1 of a 3 year ancestral somatics program:
year 1: the resource altar
year 2: the boundary altar
year 3: the embodied altar
many practitioners receive training in techniques & theory but little support in cultivating the embodied presence, discernment, ritual literacy, and relational skills needed to hold transformative spaces.
the resource altar offers a different foundation.
throughout the year, participants will explore resourcing, ritual, animist practice, facilitation, intuition, nervous system awareness, and embodied ways of knowing that can deepen both personal practice and professional work.
whether you are a therapist, coach, healer, educator, facilitator, community organizer, emerging space holder, or someone looking to reclaim access to your bodies wisdom and a deeper relationship with the land, this program is designed to help you cultivate a strong foundation for the work you are called to do.
and perhaps your ready to remember...how to move from survival toward connection
how to reclaim access to your body's innate wisdom.
how to cultivate belonging within yourself, your community, and the living world
how to participate in creating liberatory futures rooted in care, dignity, and liberation.
how to weave together personal healing with collective liberation and community wellbeing.
what you'll leave withby the end of year one, you will have cultivated a living resource altar, a collection of practices, rituals, medicines, symbols, oracles, relationships, and ways of knowing that can support you throughout your life.
you will leave with a deeper relationship to your body, your intuition, your ancestors, your community, and the living world.
you will have developed practices that help you meet challenge, change, conflict, grief, and uncertainty with greater presence and discernment.
