Beyond the Illusion

S3 Ep. 4: Opening to Ancestors with Heather Davies


Listen Later

At this time on the planet, particularly in Western culture, we seem to have lost connection to our roots - both to the literal roots of trees, plants and Mother Earth, as well as to the roots of our human ancestry. In this false sense of separation, we feel isolated and unsupported. In this discussion with Heather Davies of Sea Wynd Shamanic Coaching, Ritual and Ceremony, we explore how to engage with nature and the energies of our ancestors to rediscover the beauty and truth of our interconnectedness.
* Heather’s many lives lived in this one lifetime.
* The American culture of “Do It On Our Own” often cuts us off from recognizing the support of Ancestors.
* Tianna’s Dark Night of the Soul experience of receiving assistance from her Japanese ancestors.
* How the challenge of ethically practicing Shamanic work as a white skinned person without appropriating another’s culture caused Heather to dive into their own Celtic and Germanic roots.
* Heather’s personal story of ancestors responding to a call for help.
* The reciprocity relationship in working with one’s ancestors.
* The body as a portal to the soul and the problem of disembodied spiritual work.
* Weaving Sky/Masculine and Earth/Feminine energies together.
* How the taboo of speaking about death unnecessarily blocks people from connection with their ancestors.
* The need to embrace and discuss death and weave it into our culture as a natural part of our experience.
* How nature can teach us the life/death/rebirth cycle.
* What is the process of land clearing/witnessesing?
* Daniel Foor's concept of the “last well ancestor”
* Tim’s experience with the spirit of his grandmother.
* The gift of Allowing instead of always trying to “make it happen.”
* Books mentioned: “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, “Ancestral Medicine” by Daniel Foor.
* Future Primitive Podcast episode with Joanna Harcourt interviewing Daniel Foor
Heather Davies is a gender fluid depth creature and shamanic practitioner with Celtic and Germanic roots who is passionate about helping folks reconnect with their authentic voice, truth and path through the development and deepening of their relationship with what Heather calls “the seven spokes of shamanic practice” - the directions, the elements, animal energies, plant energies, movement, sound and the ancestors. Heather offers individual coaching, “Opening to the Ancestors” groups, rituals and ceremonies in Austin, TX. Please see the Sea Wynd website for more information about their offerings.
