Everybody has loving and wise ancestors
and by reaching out for their support we access tremendous vitality for personal and family healing. In addition to supporting repairs with living family, our ancestors encourage healthy self-esteem and help us to clarify our destiny, relationships, and work in the world.
who is this circle for?
I hope you are all doing well in these tender times. I’m happy to host our monthly ancestor circle online and grateful for the alternate ways of being “in” it with you all through the airwaves. I most welcomingly breath into our space how blessed I feel to tend in these ways with you.
This monthly ritual aims to support you as you continue to work safely and directly with your blood lineage ancestors, both the helpful guides and the troubled dead who are in need of assistance.
Pre-requisites for attending are to have participated in the Ancestors Intensive Workshop facilitated by Dr.Daniel Foor (www.ancestralmedicine.org) to have done personal sessions with myself, Daniel or practitioners of his work or taken his ancestral lineage online course.
"In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.”
What We'll Do
- Our time together includes direct visioning - journeywork with the ancestors of blood and bone where we will:
Establish ritual safety and connect with a trusting power for resourcing
Assess our 4 lineages and those that sprung before, determining wellness and their impact
Be in a connective space with a healed ancestor a source of wisdom and support for our lives
Engage in healing repair work, forgiveness practices, song, prayer, heart-centered group dialogue, and other inclusive types of rituals

Facilitator
Shannon Willis, M.Ed
Shannon will be your guide for this immersive. Her work lives at the wild confluence of dream midwifery, oracular listening, ancestral reverence, and ritual arts. She’s the Ritual Director at Ancestral Medicine, and an initiate in the Òrìṣà tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa, she has also apprenticed herself to the dreaming wisdom of her own bloodlines and to teachers of Jhanki Shamanism.
Shannon writes and weaves spiritual accompaniment for emerging leaders and cultural edge-walkers—those drawn to the holy work of remembrance, repair, and rooted resistance. She dwells with her son and their furred companions near the mist-kissed shores of the Salish Sea, on the ancestral and living lands of the Twana-Skokomish people.
