Ancestral Altar Cloth Weaving
Our ancestors are more connected to us than we may think, and they play an important role in what we are handed down from family member to family member, both the good and the bad.
Many of us however have lost sight of who our ancestors were, and how we might be connected to them.
As a weaver and ancestral healer, I would say, that the fabric of our ancestral legacy has holes that need reparing, or re-weaving as it were...
This workshop is an opportunity to sit in a safe container and explore not only your connection to your ancestors, but to begin the repair and weaving work of re-connecting once again.
In this week-end workshop we will:
~Participents will weave their own unique Ancestral Altar Cloth.
~We will open the weekend in ceremony whereby each participent will be invited to connect in journey with a healing ancestor.
~Together as a group we will engange in an ancestral offering ceremony, whereby we invite in these safe and loving ancestors to support us in our weaving work.
~Participents will have the opportunity to sit with a full colour palatte and choose a spectrum of colours and textures that carry meaning for them and their ancestors that they will being into the weaving, including any fabrics or items they may have brought from home with them.
Practical Details:
~ Paeticipents will be using Rigid Heddle looks to create their altar cloths and I will be teaching the basics of warping and weaving on one of these looms.
~I will provide all of the yarn unless participents wish to bring some of their own from home
~This workshop is only open to 6 participents, as I wish to create a tight and safe container for our work.
When we have an ancestor from our past that needs healing they hang on energetically to our family line causing us to have a harder time letting go of things that no longer serve us, and leaving us with feelings like we are stuck, or we may notice that we repeat the same patterns over and over, knowing that this is causing us pain, but feeling like there is no way out.
I have come to understand that ancestral healing is extremely beneficial for most people because when we release and heal these ancestral patterns and collapse them, any blockages we have in our lives clear and heal, and this in turn clears the way for our children and future descendants.
Ancestral investment is $225.00
What does an ancestral healing session look like?
At this time all sessions are via Zoom.
We will begin by taking some time to get to know one another and I will ask you a series of questions as I seek to get to know your ancestral lineage better.
If you were adopted I am still able to do this work, not to worry.
When we do an ancestral healing, I journey with the aid of my guides and seek to discover where these ancestral patterns are occurring in your family line and where healing is needed.
Working with my guides we track to find the cause of the original ancestor and the pattern that has become pervasive in your family line, and together we then work together to make sure that this ancestor who had not crossed over go to the collective of ancestors on the other side and then collapse this pattern, taking it down through all generations, backwards and forward to yourself and your descendants, creating healing, and stopping the negative pattern.
After the work has been done there is often a ritual or ceremony that is required for the completion of the work, and this piece is an important aspect of the healing, as we take responsibility for our ancestors and work to heal them.
For some it can be helpful to continue the work as they wish to deepen their understanding of working with helping ancestors and possibly moving into lineage clearing, in which case a four hour session might be the best choice.
