January 23-25
Most non-western cultures have rituals and practices to facilitate the safe passage of departing spirits to the other side after death to ensure that they literally do not hang around the living, draining energy and invisibly influencing us. For the most part, however, our culture has few such practices for releasing the dead, with the result that many of our energy problems, obsessive issues, dysfunction, and persistent complexes often turn out to be old or ancestral spirit energies trying in vain to speak or act through us to resolve unfinished issues not of our, but their making. Untimely deaths, addictions, mental illnesses are just a few of the examples of issues in the family history that can cause unhappy spirits who may be around you that need healing.
In this workshop, Roger Woolger will share his findings from over 20 years of working in regression therapy and shamanic healing. He will teach and demonstrate safe methods to release and help these spirits and through that, heal yourself and your family line. You will explore your family tree and work with your ancestors in identifying "unfinished business." You will learn how to scan your subtle body for signs of attachments and how to recognize attachments in others, how to talk to and help unhappy spirits, how to send them lovingly into the light, how to protect yourself and your space, and how to seal your own energy field. The workshop combines lecture, demonstrations, and experiential work in supervised pairs.
Please come prepared with a rough sketch of a family tree (in your head or on paper) going back as many generations as you can. Also bring any old photographs or other mementos that will help to focus on the generations past. If you don't know it already, try to gather information before the workshop about members of the family who have passed on. What were their lives like? How did they live and die? How did they fit in or not fit in the family?
This workshop introduces Ancestral Healing and treating Spirit Attachment for professionals who later may wish to enroll in a professional, five-day training.
