Exploring Ancestral Touch Through An Animist Indigenous Lens
An in-person, eight-week, beta training for space holders, bodyworkers, practitioners, healers, and creatives of all kinds
This is for those who wish to deepen their practices and capacities for holding space in ethical, response-able, and sustainable ways.
This is a training for those who know they're ready to refine their skills in attunement and sensing while allowing the deeper medicines living within each of us to emerge through any space we co-weave.
As a medicine weaver, bodyworker, and ceremonialist I've been listening and receiving wisdom that has allowed me to develop my skills in service to the collective and to the individual beings who have chosen to work and walk with me on my path.
Listening to the Ancestors and Spirits guiding me over the past few years but especially the past year, has awakened within me a knowing that it's time to heed the call and step into a deeper level of service, through teaching and guiding others what I've been taught all these years while being witnessed in my reclamation.
To enter into this beta-training you must feel the call within your bones, hear the whispers of the wind asking you to surrender what you think you know, in order to receive the gift Spirit has to offer us as we come together.
This will not be a space to absorb regurgitated information and knowledge but a place to apply and integrate the foundational skills required for transforming your body of work into a system that is rooted and supported by community and Spirit, while making a greater impact in the ecosystems we’re a part of.
This will be a space to come together in community, to learn through experience, relating and culture building but also to support me in refining the foundations for a more in-depth advanced program I will release later this year.

Week One: Foundations & Core Principles of Animist Practice
Exploring the cultural and historical contexts of animism, we will allow Spirit to guide us through our breath and set intentions for the rest of the training.
Week Two: The Elements & The Senses
Rooting into our senses in order to connect to the earth and elements within our own bodies. We will open up portals to each sense in order to be guided by them while learning the skills required for response-able space holding.
Week Three: Emotions & Dis-ease
Allowing our Emotions to flow through our bodies by also learning to hold and witness the contractions, stagnant energies, and resistance that is here to assist us in embodying patience, compassion, courage, and integrity.
Week Four: Thoughts & Beliefs
Exploring the thoughts that move through our senses. Allowing ourselves to connect more deeply with our beliefs and the social constructs they uphold.
Week Five: Sounds & Silence
We will practice the skills of deep listening. To access the deepest wells of truth and wisdom we must be willing to walk through our loudest silences and give voice to our wildest selves.
Week Six: Movement & Stillness
Observing movement through stillness and stillness through movement. We will practice how these seemingly opposing forces can co-exist and how they are actually co-creating with each other, mirrors of each other.
Week Seven: Time & Space
Understanding the relationship between Time and Space will allow us to unlock the connections between our personal and "professional" selves so we may bring unity and harmony back into our relationships, communities, and ecosystems.
Week Eight: Dreaming & Story Weaving
Alchemizing the illusions that we carry within our bodies while also bringing to life the power that lies within them.
