"The Circle of the Ancestors workshop was a wonderfully deepening experience, allowing access to new levels of connectivity and personal healing. I've studied the metaphysical and spiritual for years, but Bekki and Crow's teaching has finally brought me to actually experience the rich inner landscape of the soul."
Jo Wheat, Columbia SC

"The value Crow and Bekki place on ancestry has been very powerful, and has brought about direct and tangible healing not just for myself but also for my family (living and deceased). This has shown me my roots, where I stand in the larger flow of things, and created a solid foundation to work out from. Most importantly, they have always encouraged trust in the spirits and in my ability to hear the voice of Spirit within. What could be more important?"

This two-day workshop requires shamanic journeying experience. You should be familiar with upper and lower world journeywork and have established shamanic allies and teachers.

It is an excellent next step after taking our Fundamentals of Shamanism workshop. Circle of the Ancestors is required for participation in our Two Week Intensive Healing Training.

Shamanic peoples recognize ancestors as essential connections to Spirit who provide potent guidance. In many cultures the ancestors are as significant, sometimes more significant than allies.
They often function as teachers.

This workshop focuses on contact with our ancestors through journeywork so that each participant can develop a "tribal history," giving a unique window into our individual shamanic heritage.

We learn how to work with our ancestors for personal healing, to resolve family issues, discover plant and animal spirit energies essential to our lineages, and learn about ancient rituals and ceremonies.

We do shamanic work for each other with our ancestors' help. Anyone doing shamanic work who is interested in his or her spiritual heritage can enjoy and benefit from working with their ancestors.

Ancestor work forms an integral part of most shamanic cultures. It compliments the primary skills of professional healers of any discipline, and is excellent for individuals who wish to advance their own healing. A major goal of the work is to open the student to the shamanic realms and to help her/him use these connections in daily life.

Advance registration is required to attend all Church of Earth Healing classes and workshops. See the Schedule for when and where Circle of the Ancestors is next offered.
