On the heels of the Spring Equinox, Nora and I invite you to join us for our ancestral and ecological self-study circle. This month, we will explore dreaming as liberatory praxis. We will gather at Jubilee Healing Farm, press our bodies against the Earth, and dream and vision alongside her. We will close our time together with a seed-casting ritual, offering up our visions and dreams of liberated realities and futures directly to the body of the Earth.

We hope you will join us.

For those interested in a communal healing experience in nature, we warmly invite you to join our Ancestral Healing and Ecological Self study circle. We will weave an immersive community healing space through ceremony and ritual grounded in our shared ecological and ancestral experience. We will gather monthly for an hour and a half on a small farm in Hillsborough, NC, for these events. Our space will center on the experiences of those who identify as gender-expansive, non-binary, and/or women. The space and experience are designed for those who seek a communal, non-clinical, and ecological model of healing. Donate what you can – all proceeds will support a healing retreat planned for 2024.

Time: 1-2:30pm EST

FUTURE DATES COMING SOON!

4:00PM-6:00PM PST

Join ancestral mediums and ritual facilitators Shauna Janz and Tamira Cousett as they co-weave a portal of connection with the ancestral ecosystems that nourish and sustain our lives. Our journey together will be shaped by ritual invocation, song, embodied presence practices and ancestral wisdom teachings and a ritual to connect with your Elder wisdom field, uplifting our capacity as humans to be in relationships rooted in reciprocity with our unseen kin. 

Together we will explore the language of Ancestors and the liberatory values that support connection with the vast bodies of Elder Ancestral ecosystems that nourish us. We will explore the innate pathways of embodied connection we are all born with and why this is integral to our individual and collective well-being and liberation. 

During our time together, we will invite you into self-reflective and experiential practices. There will be space for large group discussion; however, there will be no small group breakouts. A recording will be made available for two weeks following our gathering.

Please use an active email address when registering. The zoom link for the workshop will be sent to the email address you provide.

Folks who attended the previous 2 hr Elder Wisdom offering may attend this event at no charge. Instructions for completing your registration will be sent via email!

Who is this for

We warmly invite folks of diverse ancestries, faith-based and cultural traditions, and lived experiences. This ritual space is a queer-celebrating and liberatory offering inviting folks to deepen their relationships with their ancestors and the inherent wisdom that resides in their ancestral ecosystem, in ways that are relevant to their identity and ways of being and knowing.

Meet the Ritual Facilitators

Shauna is the founder of Sacred Grief offering online programs and training in the skills of grieving, ritual, embodied presence, and ancestral re-connection. Her ancestors are northern European from the lands of Scots Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and Nordic cultures. On her father’s side, her people are recent refugee-settlers by way of Poland and Ukraine, and on her mother’s side, her people are early colonial-settlers to Turtle Island.  She currently resides on the unceded lands of the K'omoks and Pentatch First Nations, on Vancouver Island Pacific West Coast of Canada.

Tamira is a student and medium of ancestral and earth-honoring wisdoms and ritual facilitator. She is the kin of folk from the lands of West Africa by way of Alabama, Ohio, and Indiana and also from the Irish and British Isles. She grew up primarily in Atlanta in a loving Muslim home run by powerful women. She is now embedded in the southern lands of the Catawaba & Eno peoples with her feathered and human kinfolk.

Our Values and Approach

Shauna Janz is a queer ritualist and intuitive who brings experience from over 20 years of contemplative practice, 15 years of guiding trauma-informed grief support, group healing and mentoring, and 8 years of facilitating ritual space and ancestral connection. Her approaches to embodied animist and spirit relations combine with cultural study within feminist, queer, anti-oppressive and decolonial praxis, bridging spiritual/ritual reclamation in service to creating more loving and liberated ways of being, here and now. She has found home and eldership within ancestral Old European cultural revival practices, specifically in the Old Norse oracular mediumship tradition of Seidr and ritual animism.

Tamira is an ancestral medium and ritualist with almost a decade of ritual and mediumship experience. Her approach to ancestral connection practice is rooted in the ecosystems of Love, Womanist and Queer Black liberation theologies. Her initiations into Afro-Brazilian earth-honoring traditions and studies of West African and Black Southern spiritualist traditions ground her ritual approach. She enjoys co-weaving communal containers of curiosity, connection, homecoming, and life-affirming rituals with folks and their ancestral ecosystems of care.

Tis the season to be still and to feel…

As we deepen into the dark stillness of Earth in this sacred season, we may experience both gratitude and hope as well as brokenheartedness, which illuminates our deepest longings and lights the path before us.
In sacred space held by song, we will create a space of stillness where longing can be felt and welcomed as our luminous guide.  Through ritually sharing the light of our longings, we will collectively honor and feed the deep heart of love that beckons us home to a more liberated world and our true place of belonging.  

Join ritualists, Carolyn and Tamira as we co-weave a portal of connection and remembrance with the Ancestral Waters that sustain life and hold the mysteries of ancestral wisdom.

We invite you to join us for a communal ritual to celebrate the fall equinox. Our ritual will center communion and connection with the ancient element of water as a portal to reviving the blessing of our ancestors for ourselves and our times!  

Like our ancestors' wisdom, water cannot be created or destroyed. Thus, every water molecule on Earth has existed for billions of years, serving as the life-blood of all who have come before us and connecting us all to the ecosystems of creation. It is a multi-dimensional being and shapeshifter, a co-creator and sustainer of life, and a keeper of ancestral memories and mysteries.

During our ritual gathering, we will collectively attune to this field of living memory to bring forward a harvest of blessings via song/orin, story, and a water blessing ritual. 

Ritually, you will be invited to commune with the ase of the ancestral waters that live in you and bless/charge water with the memories and medicines these ancestral waters are inspiring in you at this time.

We pray that our ritual will nourish our souls and the soul of the world!

With and devotion,

Tamira and Carolyn
