Dance For The Ancestors

Dancing for the ancestors 

In private woodlands Northampton

28/10

5-9pm

Honouring our ancestors, giving our thanks, our love & forgiveness to the ones who came before us is one of the most powerful acts a human can do whilst our hearts are still beating and our bare feet are walking this earth.

We will gather in community, light a fire and create an altar in honour of our ancestors by using autumnal gifts from Mother Earth, one of our very most ancient ancestors. 

The creator has provided us life from the trees, the mycelium beneath our feet, full of wisdom and teachings for us and the same land our ancestors once walked. All those stories and memories are in our DNA and it's in the moments we come to honour them in remembrance that we wake up the memories in our cells of stories once told but forgotten.

By the action of this beautiful process, brings great healing down our ancestral lines. When we dance in honour we dance with it all, in this brave act of showing up to be the spokesperson of your ancestors, you start to face your life with more courage, more meaning, more purpose and more understanding of the teachings of both the traumas and the gifts we would have received through them.

Bring items representing your lineages for the altar or any contribution through the night that you would like to share in the community gathering.

• Woodland bathing for reflection connecting with the trees and the land and quietening the mind  

• We will drink cacao together with medicinal mushrooms, including Lions Mane & Reishi mushrooms

• Dance under the full moon and our anceSTARS 

• Drum, share stories, and sing around the fire 

• Eat pumpkin soup & mummas bread

When we come together in gatherings like this, the synchronicities are always profound, the souls are already connected. This is a prayer, a calling of the highest good. The language of the soul. The language of the world. An unspoken word but yet is felt deeply in the heart.

The heart and soul know the way all we have to do is listen

This gathering will be held in some beautiful woodland in Sywell Northampton. Full address will be given 2 days before the event via email.

I am really looking forward to holding this gathering, it is work that is deep to my heart, over the last 6 years I have been creating profound connections with my spirit ancestors that has taken me on a very powerful journey which I feel happy to share with others in community.

What a pleasure and honour it is to share this beautiful land with you all again. My work since having my family has always been about taking care of others. Many of us start off in this work from teaching classes or being coaches . So with my love of helping and providing space combined with the love of outdoors, I’ve been able to put the two together . How beautiful to share a place that I love and brings so much healing and joy with a wider community.
