Description:
As a dedicated Dharma practitioner, you may find yourself experiencing the pain and suffering of your ancestors. While the Dharma brings us to the present moment, the present moment can also be influenced by the trauma of your ancestors, whose emotions still echo within you. Trauma can be passed down through generations because the DNA of our ancestors flows in our bloodstream.
Through understanding and honoring our ancestral trauma, it is possible to interrupt its transmission to the next generation. Dharma practices lend themselves to owning what is ours and letting go of what does not belong to us. In this daylong, through ritual, introspection, movement, and inquiry, we will delve deep into the veins of our ancestral trauma in order to recognize and release it.
