Healing the Hidden Ancestral Stories
28 February @ 14:30 – 17:30
A four-part workshop series exploring ancestry, healing, and inherited patterns.
Healing the Hidden Ancestral Stories is a supportive series of four workshops inviting participants to explore their ancestral history through journaling, meditation, and sound. The sessions offer time and space to reflect on inherited experiences, patterns, and stories, and to gently work with how these may continue to shape our lives.
Each workshop combines guided journaling, meditation, and sound work using Tibetan healing bowls. The sessions are designed to support individual exploration in a safe, grounded environment, allowing participants to connect with both personal and ancestral narratives and to begin releasing what no longer serves their lineage.
This course is open to people of all faiths and belief systems. While anyone is welcome to join any workshop, it is recommended that participants attend all four sessions, as each builds on the last.
Session breakdown
Session 1 — Saturday 28 February
Exploring inherited thought patterns and individual experiences that may be negatively impacting your life. The session focuses on identifying these patterns and working with sound and meditation to begin clearing them.
Session 2 — Saturday 7 March
Exploring the impact of displacement, including ancestral or personal experiences of moving between lands and places. The session looks at how this history can affect us today and includes meditation and sound work to support healing.
Session 3 — Saturday 14 March
Exploring collective trauma within your lineage and how this may show up in your life. Meditation and sound are used to gently work with and release connected trauma.
Session 4 — Saturday 21 March
Exploring the gifts inherited through both individual and ancestral experience. This final session focuses on recognising these strengths and considering how they can be expressed in the world.
Each session allows time for individual reflection, supported by guided meditation and sound.
