WHAT IS “ANCESTRAL WISDOM”?
We are relational beings with inter subjectivity.
The Ancestral Lense goes beyond our personal biographies.
We tap into roots and relational networks where distance and intimacy (proximity) is recognised.
This extrapolation into more than epigenetics - into Lineage - allows us and eachother grace when acknowlegding wound or shadow, as our wholeness and divinity - even in cases when we have extremely dynamic energy internally/externally, or are carrying a large impact of trauma.
With conscious practicing into the development of this Ancestral Lense, we do not get locked into fixed identifications, offering us fluidity during incredible transformations, and space to also consider mediating the systemic.

#Ancestral Wisdom is Experience, is gaze, is how we perceive Consciousness.
There would be no thing and no life without Ancestral Wisdom.
Every message we receive through our Bodies or our Psyche, and every relationship in our lives (and the state of our relationships) - our relationship even with reality itself - is a message from Ancestral Wisdom.
Ancestral Wisdom is the built up moments of experiences which become memory in the Collective Human Experience.
---
Some of collective memory is embedded into transient phenonema, and some of those are embedded into matter!
(Yes, even the screen you are veiwing this page through, is built through Ancestral Wisdom.)
We usually discuss Ancestral Wisdom in the context of holistic pychospiritual or Source Healing Techniques, which come from wisdom kept through Indigenous worldview, and cosmolgies. It is also present through myth, archetpye and symbol, language, poetry, music, art and culture.
Seeing through the eyes of an Earth Centered or Planetary Cosmology - is a very wide vision - to ‘See through the eyes of The Sacred’, to see through ‘Universal Consciousness’, to see through the harmony of the spheres, to see through ‘the third’ .
Our Gaze is multiple, from many perspectives all at once, a reflection of our relational cosmology - Attention is expanded when in the multiples.
-----
Power is within what draws or affects our Attention.
In this praxis we act on articulating and re-distributing that power.
It might snags us for years until we make a desicions to pull the power back and act in a different way, through recognising power we have.
-----
The coping mechanisms and conditionings we have, often are wrapped around unconscious power losses where we beleive ourselves to be powerless. All are encripted into patterns which came from and through Ancestral Lineages, as our bodies and relational maps are all connected.
Lineages adapt through the many limitations of society and the systems they adapted to and through, so a Lineage is also connected to the collective flow of resources, and systems of society.
-----
Within this practice we want to be witnessing and carrying into transformation the unhelpful content that does not bring new life for us anymore, and transform it into ‘food’ for the un-seeded aspects of Ancestral Power to grow back.
We see unhelpful content as important - as this is a catalyst in breaking the exterior hard (algorithmic-relational) shell of what is to be a continual ultimately freeing, spiralling process,
There is always limitation in this process as we do not exist in isolation from limitation,
None of us can run from being inexorably tied to The World, and come through the experience as unwounded.
We will always be touched by it, muddied by it and in contradiction because of it.
Collaboration is contamination!
The aim is not to remove all the ‘toxicity’ but to relate to it differently
This does not mean to adopt the new age spiritual rhetoric of hard-won soverignty. Here we stay supple and earthy.
The work is often internal and into acceptance and courage towards our own value systems.
We transmute pain and suffering by giving it as offerings towards a sacred container.
-----
Ancestral healing, alike depth-analysis, is not a destination, but an ongoing process of learning deep care of our Soul and walking onwards with wider and wider self-containment.
On this path we act to become Elders.
There is no way but through, yet the passgae back to oneself is full of beauty.
