We carry the sparks of Ancestral fires.
The wild ones, the ancestors, the future ones call us, on behalf of life:
It is time to remember and find our way with these fires.
In relationship with our deep imagination and the natural world, we will feel the pulse of our life and wholeness and invite deeper connection with human and other than human ancestors who have shaped us over the generations.
In this gathering, we might come to know stories that have been forgotten or were never told. We might re-member gifts and qualities from our ancestral heritage that feed our soul's flame. We might come to understand more deeply neglected wounds and how these wounds contain gift seeds that might be transformed by fire to bring life.
We might feel a newfound sense of support or permission to deepen own life path, relations clarified, as we find a way to be in honorable relationship with others as we long to find our way home, now.
Rooted in the work of Soulcraft and Animas Valley Institute, among many lineages and teachers, in particular the creative gifts of Annie Bloom and Peter Scanlan, 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 plenty of time to wander the land as our relationship to land is a powerful way to connect us to our particular ancestral lineages.

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.
This land carries traces of many ancestral experiences, including the many bands of Indigenous peoples, Coastal Pomo, who have tended Oaks and Salmon in this place for centuries, and whose displacement, as well as contemporary lives in this region, are interwoven with the stories of settlers who have been drawn to live here, create and find their own way into relationship with home and land.
