Returning to Roots
Returning to our roots - our ancestors, cultures, spiritual practices and land - is especially important for white folks. In most cases, when our people came to the United States, they were cut off from their heritage and asked to assimilate. It's as if they, and therefore we, were orphaned. In the past few years, it's become clear that if we were raised in the United States, we were raised in a white supremacy culture. If we are to dismantle that, we need something to fall back on so we're not left anchorless. We need a landing pad. Returning to our ancestors and their spiritual practices can offer that. So can a return to the Earth and natural world. Relationships with the spirit world and the land are an aspect of everyone's ancient wisdom.
Each session begins with a meditation that grounds and centers us in our bodies and in the energetic landscape all around us.* While remaining in this stillness and spaciousness, we listen and feel, as topics of returning to roots come forth. Those might include:
As the topics or stories arise, what do you notice? Are emotions rising? Does your body have something to tell you? What is moving energetically? What wants to move or clear? How does that open you? What wisdom does your intuition offer? We allow it all to come forward and then discern what fits and resonates.
*Core shamanic journeying is a practice that many of our ancestors likely used, and we can explore this more deeply if you'd like. It's another way (in addition to meditation) of coming into the energetic landscape around you and sensing in to what is moving.

Each session begins with a meditation that grounds and centers us in our bodies and in the energetic landscape all around us.* While remaining in this stillness and spaciousness, we listen and feel, as topics of returning to roots come forth. Those might include:
- connecting to your indigenous ways of knowing
- tuning in to the energy of the land where your people lived before coming to the U.S.
- sensing the energy of the land where you are now
- asking the energy of love to set your ancestors and yourself free from historical burdens
- claiming the gifts of your lineage and draw on the wealth of accumulated wisdom and experience that grew over the generations
- offering healing for the cultural, systemic, collective, historical struggles in our world

“I have personally transformed from working with Kelly. She helped me clear my ancestral lineage through a guided and spiritually-led process that left me in "ah" of how God can work through us to heal. I have felt immense movement in my life from these sessions and Kelly brings a loving and caring presence to every meeting that I feel comfortable to open up to. I recommend her for anyone who wants to bring forth healing in their life and to let go of the burdens from the past.” - Ashley
“As I peel back the layers and re-member all that I am, well, I needed a guide. Kelly provides the gentle, clear, heart-felt guidance needed. I specifically wanted to get to the root of “Blaming others for my behaviors” and that meant going to a cellular memory level. Where do I begin? What do I ask? How will I know spirit, my ancestral guides are speaking? These and many more questions were answered with Kelly’s expert spiritual guidance.”- Kim
