Ancestor Work As Spiritual Resistance 2

Service Description

Ancestor Work as Spiritual Resistance: Level 2 with Sister Donyelle Part of the Deepening the Circle Learning Series For students who have completed Level 1 This 8-session course is for returning students ready to deepen their ancestor work. Together, we will strengthen spiritual practice, deepen communication with the ancestors, and apply these tools to real-world situations and collective healing. This offering centers consistency, discernment, and the ethical use of ancestral connection as a resource for justice and transformation. We will engage in: -Deepening and stabilizing personal altar and prayer work -Strengthening ancestral communication and daily practice -Applying ancestral work to specific people, places, and situations -Creating and refining petitions, prayers, and ritual tools -Practicing mutual support and group healing within the circle -Exploring the ethical dimensions of working with others’ ancestors Integrating film and discussion to support reflection and learning -Welcoming guest speakers to share relevant wisdom and insight (dates to be announced) This round, we will also explore the concept of Spiritual Reparations, asking what repair looks like across time and lineage. We’ll examine ancestral accountability and healing in the face of historical harm, and bring that inquiry into both personal and collective ritual. We meet every other Monday evening from 6 PM to 9 PM. This rhythm allows space for rest, integration, and continued altar work between sessions. Homework will be offered during off-weeks, and two optional Zoom check-ins will support reflection and guidance. A group text thread will be available for check-ins, questions, and support throughout the series.
