Returning to Roots
Returning to our roots - our ancestors, cultures, spiritual practices and land - is especially important for white folks with European backgrounds. Our ancestors had indigenous practices that were erased by a combination of Christian supremacy and empire. Then, in most cases, when our people came to the United States, they were cut off from their heritage even further 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.
Before each session, Kelly helps you craft an open inquiry about one of the following topics:
We develop what and how questions. Then Kelly leads you in a guided imagery meditation that takes us to a place in nature where we can ground, center and listen to your wise inner teacher. Over time, you will learn how that inner teacher communicates. Perhaps your body signals you. Do your five senses become more alert and alive? You may feel a temperature change or tingling or buzzing. Perhaps you'll hear your still small voice. Maybe metaphors pop into your mind. You may see colors, images, symbols, shapes. Maybe just a sense of knowing or a gut feel comes forth. Emotions may be the way your inner teacher speaks. We allow it all to come forward. Then we discern if and how to move forward. All sessions end with gratitude.
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 of listening to your inner teacher and other wise ones in the spiritual world.

- your indigenous ways of knowing
- the land where your people lived before coming to the U.S.
- the land where you are now
- nature as a spiritual practice
- eco-spirituality as a meaning making system
- your ancestors and any historical burdens
- the gifts of your lineage and wealth of accumulated wisdom and experience that grew over the generations
- 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
