Venue: www.riversbendretreat.org for general site information, address, images of Campground and Cabins, etc.
We will integrate council, deep imagery, ceremony and dream work, along with poetry, our own stories, movements and images, to sing the songs of these ancestral rivers longing to live in and be alive through us. There will be ample time to wander the land as our relationship to land is a powerful way to connect us to our particular ancestral lineages.
In this time, we might come to know stories that have been forgotten or were never told. We might re-member gifts and qualities that flow through us from our ancestral heritage. We might come to understand more deeply neglected wounds and how these wounds contain gift seeds that are ours to bring to life. We might feel a newfound sense of support from this ancestral realm, or permission to deepen own life path, relations clarified.
This work can be a beautiful and powerful complement to other pathways to honoring ancestral realms, but no previous experience or knowledge of your specific ancestry is necessary.
