From a press release:
An introductory talk on the foundations of ancestor work will be given by Daniel Foor at the Sunshine Institute on Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. at 20 Fall Pippin Lane, Suite 200, Asheville. A three-day intensive workshop will be held the following weekend, Friday, April 17, at 10 a.m. to Sunday, April 19, at 5 p.m. at the same location. Suggested donation for the talk is $25, flexible. The talk is encouraged for those attending the three-day ancestors intensive and is, of course, open to all interested in learning to honor their ancestors. Cost for the workshop is $275, also flexible, and space is limited. Preregistration and full attendance is requested.
Everyone 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.
Attendees at the talk will learn a basic framework from which to safely and directly engage family and older lineage ancestors as sources of guidance, healing, and spiritual inspiration. Discussion will include ways to assist those who have not yet joined the ancestors (i.e. ghosts and troubled dead) and how to approach ancestor work in ways that support personal, family, and inter-generational healing.
Participants in the workshop will learn to relate safely and directly with family ancestors, both helpful guides and the troubled dead in need of assistance. Expect to engage lineage ancestors in heart-centered ritual space through prayer, song, visioning practices, and group dialogue. There are no prerequisites; however, prior experience with inner work/psychological healing and relating with spirit guides/teachers are both helpful.
Folks new to ancestor work, adoptees, and those with a tough experience of family are warmly welcome. Those with a healing arts practice will learn new skills to support their work.
Daniel Foor, Ph.D. guides non-dogmatic and heart-centered ancestor and earth-honoring rituals, trainings, and personal sessions. He has trained for over 20 years in diverse indigenous and earth-honoring traditions.

Are you interested in Rosicrucian or the teachings of the Rosicrucians? Maybe you can help me meet other mystical people. I would like to find others like me and share in the mystical path and follow the teaching. Brian.
