H E L D
a 9-week journey exploring your mystical roots
10/19/21 TO 12/14/21
it’s likely if you’ve been on the healing path, it can be challenging to find spaces that:
1. acknowledge or deepen you into your uniquely personal lineage and mystical roots,
2. speak to systems of oppression/privilege and how they shape our ancestry & nervous systems
3. address human patterns of attachment wounding, or
4. support us in breaking unwanted habits or establishing a sense of embodied divinity, expanding our range of resilience in relationship to life + other people
Perhaps you are…
✷ Frustrated with the ungroundedness of new ageism
✷ Feeling inspired by the power of other lineages or practices not native to yours, but disconnected from your own mystical roots
✷ Noticing a hyper-masculine or purist quality to spiritual spaces and seeking a more fluid, inclusive, full-range, multi-dimensional, shadow-work-inclusive healing community
✷ Curious about intergenerational trauma + wisdom, understanding the impact of your family of origin, & attachment theory from a neurobiological, feminist + strengths-based lens
✷ Dealing with the impact of not feeling seen or understood by your family or living lineage, and want to ground deeply in to the healing powers of your genetic or spiritual lineage for life wisdom and self-reclamation
*Although not all of us have ancestors we can access or know of, we can still learn to develop a relationship to our genetic or spiritual lineage. In this course, we will receive guidance from our benevolent ancestors, while elevating our wounded ancestors to higher planes of consciousness and deeper healing by descending through our roots.

We can’t intellectualize our way into intergenerational remembrance and healing. We invite you to come experience it with us in process.
Through integration and transmutation work (aka, alchemy!)…
This course is here to gently, but powerfully guide us into grounded healing through the body.
We value pleasure-oriented, cyclical healing which involves a homecoming to our laughter, tears, rage, and everything in-between as medicine.
Held is here to help us heal from the confinement and trauma of the impact of colonization on our lineages and bodies through ritual, ceremony, and deep embodiment work.
COURSE FAQ
Q: DO I NEED TO KNOW DETAILS ABOUT MY FAMILY LINEAGE AND HISTORY TO PARTICIPATE OR ENROLL?
A: Not at all. the work we will be doing is based in the inner wisdom of your unique body - how much historical or factual information you have or don’t have is not a determinant of your growth, healing, or transformation in this course.
Q: I AM SO NEW TO ANCESTRY WORK - IS THIS STILL FOR ME?
A: 100%, yes! And the beauty is that you will soon realize that your ancestry has been with you all along - in fact, you aren’t new to this at all! This course is about remembering what you don’t yet know that you know.
Q: will there be replays/recordings in case i miss a week?
A: Yes, a replay will be sent to your e-mail after every class.
Q: Can i sign up if i can’t make it live on tuesday nights?
A: Yes, absolutely. While you won’t be experiencing the live group container, healing is not limited by time or space. You will still benefit from the nurturing community space and can connect with others in our private WhatsApp group.
Q: what is the time commitment?
A: Weekly 2 hour meetings: Tuesday’s at 7 pm PST. Homework assignments and outside dedication to this course is optional, but we recommend allotting around 30-90 minutes a week outside of class to deepen in the practices we share.
Q: HOW DOES THE PRICING TIER SYSTEM WORK?
A: Capitalism has taught us to get the “best deal” whenever possible. We are re-imagining a community-oriented pricing structure where those with more financial resources pay more than the true cost of the program in order to directly support those needing financial support for the program. We ask that you make your tier choice with heart and integrity.
Q: are there payment plans available?
A: Yes! After you choose the appropriate tier, you have the option to pay for the course in full; or in 2 or 3 monthly payments. All payment plans are available at 0% interest.
Q: are there refunds?
A: There will not be refunds for this course. This course isn’t going to just be about learning info to regurgitate information, it’s going to be about remembering the WIDSOM of your lineage and body. Because of the experiential nature of the work, we are not offering refunds.
Q: can i connect with people between class?
A: Yes, we will have a private WhatsApp group for bonding, sharing, and connection.
