What's a three day Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive?​

All of us have wise, loving ancestors. These three-day Ancestral Lineage Healing intensive will be a chance to learn how to be in healing connections with our ancestors of blood and bone; the ones who trod the precious earth before us. This work can bring healing to the living and the dead, creating spaciousness, liberation, and purpose. We will do this step by step, drawing on the Ancestral Lineage Healing approach as originated and taught by Dr Daniel Foor at Ancestral Medicine.
 
In safely reconnecting with our kin we can re-discover and re-member blessings, often embodying vitality for ourselves, and our family, friends - rippling into wider community. This five-step healing process also enables our lineage guides to repair intergenerational ruptures, including suffering arising from cultural harms. This healing can also clarify our sense of purpose, often bringing a newfound sense of belonging.
 
We offer a wholehearted welcome to those who are new to ancestral healing work, those who are adoptees, and those with difficult family stories – or, perhaps, an absence of any stories or information. Our gathering and work together becomes a shared hearth where grief – ancient and current – can be expressed and digested with compassion, cultural respect and with new found ancestral support.
 
These intensives and this method are founded in feminist, decolonising, anti-racist, LGBTQ-affirming, class aware and earth and element-honouring values. We aspire to actively embody these ethics kindly, undogmatically, knowing we, too, are learning. We aim to offer the conditions so we can co-create a circle warm enough for tender vulnerability, earthy enough for depth and spacious enough for healing to happen. ​​​​​

 

Online Ancestor Circles

Second monthly Wednesdays, 3.30 - 5pm, June - October 2026  

​​Come, gather, and listen for the wisdom of your ancestors in good company…

 

What? Five small (8 max) online Ancestor Healing circles. The circles will focus around two practices during which you are invited to work with your guides and helpers on your lineage of focus, and the step you are on in the healing process. There will be the chance for Q&A and debriefing.

Why? Circles can be a potent way of working together in a group setting, while still focusing on your particular lineage and step. Circles are differently powerful to ancestral healing working one-to-one.

Where? Online, via Zoom.

Who? For anyone who’s begun healing a lineage in the ancestral healing approach as taught by Dr. Daniel Foor at Ancestral Medicine. If you come along looking to start working with a new lineage, consider booking a one to one session to do the Assessment, step 1 of the work. I say this because the Assessment is the longest and most detailed step, and it can therefore be more challenging to do this in a self-guiding way.

Led by? Me - Emma Palmer. I’m an Ancestral Healing practitioner, Ancestral Healing trainee teacher, long-term psychotherapist and practicing Buddhist. Read more about my approach to Ancestral Lineage Healing. 

When? Five Wednesday afternoons, 3.30 – 5pm London time (GMT+1) on 10th June, 8th July, 12th August, 9th September, 14th October. Drop in or come to all five, whatever suits you and your schedule.

£$€. £15 – 35 sliding scale per meeting, depending on financial circumstances. £95 if you book all five up front.

More info? Please drop me a line with any questions or to book a place.
