Bundles and Blessings – Ancestral Stories Known and Unknown

How we carry them, and the possibility for transformation

*****

Tending the Wounds and Accessing the Gifts of Ancestral Heritage

DEEP IN OUR BONES we carry ancestral stories that have been passed down to us over many generations. Woven in the shadows of time and family narratives are the ways we have been formed, with all the migrations, celebrations, tragedies, gifts and wounds. Hidden histories haunt us through a kind of longing for what we do not know: A longing for a sense of true belonging; to know where we come from; to know more fully who we are. The Bundle is what we carry.

During our time together, we will enter both landscape and deep imagination, to cross a threshold into the House of the Ancestors, to track the known and unknown people and stories that have shaped our lives in mysterious ways. There will be many opportunities to wander the landscape of the wild highland forest of Cedar Song Centre for Wild Belonging, to listen with our bones and our hearts for ancestral energies, and engage with them and embody them through story, movement, and image.

Between wanders we will take up the soul practices of council, deep imagery, poetry, ceremony and dream work to court the Old Ones and sort the threads of our personal and collective stories. Through this process, we will seek a deepened sense of ourselves, find lost heirlooms, and possibly bring a balm to ancient wounds.

Our 4 days of together of deep listening will be a gift to the ancestors, as well as to ourselves. When we intimately encounter the ancestral stories living in our bones, our compassion for our own history as well as the world’s wounds opens up a depth of soulful understanding that can transform consciousness in ways essential to life on the planet.

Bundles and Blessings is inspired by the Bone House, created by soul guides Peter Scanlan and Annie Bloom, and taught to Stéphanie and Sarah by Peter Scanlan. We are honouring his trust in us to bring this work forward.

Please join us for us this opportunity for ancestor connection in Bundles and Blessings.
