After two years of collaboration and deep tending by a group of practitioners in the Ancestral Medicine network, the anthology Ancestral Wisdom: Sacred stories of contact, healing, and care is now available! As St. James’ Ancestral Partner, I was honored to serve on the Editorial team, and to share my own story in the book.
This collection of personal stories offers the “ancestor-curious” an accessible way to learn about ancestral healing from the perspective of practitioners trained in the work. The authors share their own experiences of deep belonging, multidimensional healing, earth reconnection, and ancestrally supported activism, all sparked by contact and repair with their ancestors.
Each of the contributing authors has a powerful story to tell. We come to this work from diverse backgrounds and four continents. We are people of the Global Majority, Asian and Pacific Islanders, Europeans, and white people descended from settler colonialists to the U.S. and Canada. We are healers, therapists, adoptees, educators, artists, immigrants, cis and queer, and from various faith traditions. What we have in common is the commitment to share our journey with the ancestors, and to invite you to walk alongside us in the telling of these stories.
