Why Root in Ancestral Connection?
We inherit more than our physical characteristics. We carry family stories, cultural traditions, ways of belonging, and patterns of responding to the world. Some of these inheritances nourish us. Others may leave us feeling disconnected, burdened, or uncertain about where we belong.
In times of personal and collective uncertainty, reconnecting with our ancestors can offer a different kind of grounding. Not by returning to an idealized past, but by developing relationships with the wisdom, resilience, and resources of those who came before us.
Ancestral connection is not simply about understanding where we come from. It's about discovering how those relationships can support the lives we are creating now.
You are more than your individual story.
What becomes possible when we reconnect?
A deeper sense of belonging and connection.
Greater awareness of inherited patterns and family stories.
Access to ancestral resources, wisdom, and resilience.
A more grounded relationship with ourselves, our communities, and the Earth.
THREE MONTH PRIVATE PROGRAM
Relating: Ancestral Healing & Integration
Develop a deeper relationship with your ancestors and bring that connection into your everyday life. Through guided ancestral lineage healing, personalized coaching, and embodied practices, this three-month program offers dedicated support for healing, integration, and belonging.
Ancestral healing is a relationship, not a single experience.
Connecting with your ancestors can open new perspectives on your family, your history, and the life you're living now. But developing those relationships—and making space for what emerges—takes time.
Rooted offers a sustained container for that process.
Over three months, we'll work together through Daniel Foor's five-step Ancestral Lineage Healing method, following your individual pace. Some people move through several steps during this time; others spend longer establishing relationships with their ancestral guides or working with a particular lineage.
Alongside the ancestral work, we'll explore how your experiences connect with your body, relationships, personal practices, and everyday life. Through personalized coaching and embodied practices, you'll have support not only during sessions but also as you integrate what you're discovering between them.
What Your Three Months Include
A personalized combination of ancestral healing, integration coaching, and ongoing support, guided by your individual needs and pace.
8 Private Appointments
Our sessions combine Ancestral Lineage Healing with personalized integration coaching. We'll follow Daniel Foor's five-step method in sequence, allowing as much time as needed at each stage rather than trying to complete the process on a fixed schedule.
Integration appointments give us space to explore what emerges through the ancestral work and how it relates to your body, relationships, family patterns, and everyday life.
Personalized Embodied Practices
Together, we'll develop practices that support your particular process. These may include grounding, mindful movement, time on the land, journaling, creative expression, and ways of maintaining a relationship with your ancestral guides.
Rather than giving everyone the same assignments, we'll work with practices that are meaningful and realistic for you.
Support Between Sessions
You'll receive a personalized practice plan and weekly check-ins to help you maintain continuity between appointments, ask questions, and reflect on what you're experiencing.

Is Rooted Right For You?
Rooted in Uncertain Times is for people who want to develop a meaningful relationship with their ancestors and have the time and support to bring that relationship into everyday life.
You might be here because:
You're curious about your ancestors but aren't sure where to begin.
You sense that inherited family patterns influence your life and want to explore them.
You've already begun ancestral work but struggle to maintain a regular practice.
You're navigating grief, transition, or questions of identity and belonging.
You want to explore ancestral connection through embodiment, creativity, and relationship with the Earth.
You don't need to know your family history or have previous experience with ancestral practices. We'll begin wherever you are and follow a pace appropriate to your circumstances.
Rooted is an invitation to develop an ongoing relationship with your ancestors—not a promise to complete every stage of lineage healing in three months.
INTRODUCTORY PROGRAM

You'll leave with practical ways to begin cultivating these faculties and an introduction to the ancestral lineage healing process.

IN PERSON RETREAT - OCT 17-18
Ancestral Belonging Retreat
A retreat for ancestral connection, embodied practice, and community on the land.
What does it mean to belong to a lineage? Whether you know your family history intimately or have only fragments of your ancestral stories, this retreat offers an opportunity to explore your relationship with the ancestors and lineages that stand behind you.
Over a day and a half at Moya, we'll begin exploring Ancestral Lineage Healing, a structured approach developed by Dr. Daniel Foor. Through guided practice, we'll explore how to assess an ancestral lineage and begin establishing a relationship with a well and supportive ancestral guide. The emphasis is on beginning this work with discernment, boundaries, and care—not completing the entire healing process in a weekend.
This is an experiential retreat. Ancestral practice will be woven together with mindfulness, movement, storytelling, play, and relational connection. Between sessions, there will be spacious time to rest, wander the land, share meals, and connect with others. On Saturday evening, we'll gather around a bonfire, weather permitting, with the option to camp overnight at Moya.
You don't need to know your genealogy or have any previous experience with ancestral practice. Curiosity and a willingness to explore are enough.

What Participants are Saying
About the Facilitator
AARTI
I come to this work with a deep belief that healing is already waiting within us. My own journey with ancestral lineage healing began in a time of uncertainty, when I needed steadiness and belonging. What I found was that our ancestors are not just history — they are living sources of guidance and care.
For over a decade, I’ve woven together somatic practice, ritual, and restorative justice in communities across the country. My work is rooted in the body, carried by lineage, and always oriented toward collective repair. I’m not here as an expert with your answers, but as a guide who can hold space, share tools, and walk beside you.
When I’m not teaching or in ritual, you’ll likely find me on the land — listening to water, tending fire, or laughing with community. These are the practices that keep me resourced, and that I bring into the spaces we create together.
