Dreaming the Ancestors, Reclaiming Sacred Gifts
Wild Women Fall Retreat Oct. 26-28th, 2018
“Whether we hear it or not, the ancestors still speak to us from where they are, in our dreams and in the coincidences of our daily life." - Gogo Thule Ngane -Traditional Sangoma Medicine Woman.
Join us as we gather together with Wild Women on the cusp of Samhain. The season when the veils between the worlds are thin and the ancestors come calling. In this sacred time, in this sacred place, we will honor the ancestors together.
Each night, we will incubate dreams in connection with the Ancestors. Each morning, we will share dreams with the Lightning Method of Dream Sharing, in a safe and respectful way, where both the dream and the dreamer are honored and heard. We will invite our ancestors into our dreams, and discover who is near and what they have to share.
Together we will embark on conscious shamanic group dream journeys, guided by the sound of the drum, to delve deep into the territory of the world behind the world. We seek to strengthen our conscious connections with the ancestors for the purpose of healing, guidance and wisdom.
We light the sacred fires of transformation seeking healing for ourselves, the ancestors and future generations. We release and seek healing for addictions, traumas and misfortune, carried through our ancestral lines. We honor their struggles and sacrifice, through our commitment to live a life filled with wild freedom, heart and soul.
In reclaiming the gifts we have been given, and remembering the ancestors, we heal our past and create a future where our soul gifts may thrive within us and through us, now and for future generations. Step onto paths made generations ago, and discover the wisdom held in your body, soul and spirit.
