Healing Ourselves and Our Lineage
Gratitude for our ancestors

Reconnect to Your Authentic Wisdom
Gratitude for our ancestors! We are the reality of their dreaming. We are the tip of the arrow of our entire ancestral lineage, which traces back to the beginning of time. We inherit their strength and resilience, their wisdom and gifts, and we also inherit their pain and trauma.
Join ceremonial leader and wisdom carrier Erika Gagnon on a sacred journey as we gather to look at our ancestral lineage and how our ancestors continue to influence and affect our lives today.
This workshop offers an opportunity to explore ways of identifying and honoring your ancestors’ positive attributes, as well as heal the discordant or destructive energies you have inherited from your racial, social, cultural, religious, or historical heritage.
In this retreat, we will:
- Examine the origins of “dis-ease” in our bodies, minds, spirits, and souls and how to heal and realign them.
- Discuss the importance of ceremonies, medicinal plants, and sacred altars in this healing process.
- Be given the opportunity to participate in a traditional South American healing ceremony, a sound healing and “doctoring” ceremony, and a water blessing prayer ceremony.
You are invited to reconnect to your authentic wisdom and power with clarity, gratitude, and forgiveness. Understanding that when you heal and honor your ancestral lineage, you heal and honor yourself and your descendants.
Note: Please bring a journal to write in and items for our altar, including photographs of loved ones and ancestors and sacred objects that have meaning for you.
