Ancestral Healing Practice Period for White Practitioners Committed to Racial Justice

Saturday, October 5th 10am – 12pm (PST)
Registration closes October 3rd at 11:59pm Pacific Time

In this special day of practice we will explore healing, and the action we can take to end injustice in the world, with the support of our wise and loving ancestors, the Earth and all our relationships. This ancestral healing work makes it possible for us to more fully embody our commitment to racial justice.

White people*: We need all the help we can get.  Who can we be today to change the conditions of our world for the better, to right the wrongs of the past in the present, and to find the way to the future, so we can become good ancestors to the world to come? Working at the level of the body, we will welcome our wise and loving ancestors of blood and bone to extend their blessings to us, and to give us their full support and backing in our efforts to end white supremacy, and all its impacts, in our lifetimes.  We are the representatives of our lineages here on Earth at this time, and our bodies know the way.

*For self-identified white people. If you identify as white and are committed to racial justice, land and liberation, this retreat is for you.
