Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive

3-Day Intensive with Dr. Daniel Foor
Sept 6th-8th, 10:00am-5:00pm
Upper Gatehouse, Dartington Hall
Devon, England
I'm excited to be traveling to the UK to support this 3-day workshop. In-person intensives provide perhaps the most potent and focused method and ritual container for depth work in Ancestral Lineage Healing, whether you're a beginner or are already in conscious relationship with your ancestors. Participants will learn to relate safely and directly with family and older lineage ancestors, both helpful guides and those still in need, both learning the framework and engaging in experiential ritual work. Folks new to ancestor work, adoptees, and those with a tough experience of family are welcome.
There are only a few spaces left, so register soon! There is some flexibility around cost if needed to keep the work accessible, so check out the options on the registration page. If further assistance is needed, some scholarships are available.

After Decriminalization, Comes Education
Last month, Oakland's City Council unanimously approved a resolution to decriminalize a wide range of entheogenic plants, fungi, and natural psychedelics including psilocibe mushrooms, San Pedro and Peyote cacti, Iboga, extracts and brews like Ayahuasca and indole amine, tryptamine, phenethylamine containing plants. This is a huge win for restoring our root connection to nature and improving human health and well-being. But it's just the first step. Now the real work begins and public education is the top priority for organizations like Decriminalize Nature Oakland.
Many legitimate concerns are surfacing about how decriminalization will play out and the whole nation is watching. Organizations like MAPS and those working towards FDA approval of psychedelics for medical use, Students for Sensible Drug Policy and activists focused on ending the racist drug war are concerned that widespread decriminalization could get messy and derail established efforts. My intuition is that as momentum grows, things will get messy and changes will come from every possible angle, because life is messy like that and endlessly creative!
Key issues I'm aware of include:
*Providing education and access to plant medicine for marginalized folks including black, brown, indigenous, impoverished, queer, formerly incarcerated folks, veterans and others suffering from severe trauma
*Proper training for safe, qualified practitioners, guides and therapists
*Protecting plants/animals/fungi from commercialization and from the control of big pharma
*Ensuring entheogens remain available for spiritual and exploratory purposes, not just for therapeutic and mental health applications
*Conservation of natural sources, protection from over harvesting and emphasizing reciprocal relationships with the plants themselves
*Conservation of languages, respecting traditional practices, peoples and lands and preventing cultural appropriation
If you are interested in learning more or getting involved in community outreach and education about sacred plants and fungi, check out Decriminalize Nature Oakland and follow the DNO facebook page.

"What a glorious way to spend the day! Learning about plants, hiking with a group of lovely souls, and bringing ritual and consciousness to the way we move in the natural world. Kirra taught us how to be a graceful guest in nature - something that will stay with me forever." -A.S.
