ANCESTRAL: Ancient Wisdom, Ceremony, Story, Song, Council, Ancestral Foods, Embodied Remembrance. Wales

“To be native to a place we must learn to speak its language.”

— Robin Wall Kimmerer

Reclaim your indigenous roots in our embodied ancestral immersion within the animate, mythical Celtic rainforest at the foot of Yr Wyddfa.

Weaving our hearts into our ancestors’ ancient crafts, stories and rituals, we become receptive to their guidance and wisdom.

In an age of crisis and disconnect, our time together will help us remember what has been dismembered, re-vision how to live in reciprocity and reclaim our sovereign creativity.

This is a time for ancient innovation to bring deep healing to our inner and outer landscapes.

The alchemy of welsh rainforest, rushing river, mystical lake, roundhouse councils, fireside stories, foraging and ancestral foods from the hearth will reverberate through your being, bringing insight into what it means to be interrelated, and how we can become rooted ancestors for our future generations.

This is a time of profound connection, digital unplugging, deep listening and radical presence with your indigenous soul and the spirits of the land.

“Ancestral Rooted Healing gatherings are an act of restoration on behalf of all life. Veronica, and the wisdom keepers and space holders who contributed to her vision, wove us into deep relationship with The Ancestors, Earth and her beings. I experienced the mighty medicine of reconnection in an enchanted, verdant, and ceremonial place, through immersive stories, songs, ceremonies, forest and ocean food, sacred craft, and pilgrimages upon the landscape, I found myself coming home to my wild, creative, mythical self, and flowing back to an interconnectedness with life that most humans have forsaken. Upon my return to Turtle Island (North America), I can feel what others claim they see in me: I’m settled, nourished in my cells, and trusting that the way of the ancestors has been rekindled and will stay with me wherever I dwell.” - Jennifer Came

“I describe this experience to other people as it feeling like I lived this whole other life, had this whole other family, whole other home. I like to think maybe in another life that we did all live like that together, not just for a week but for our lifetimes. Ancestral is so magical, connected, and restorative. It’s an authentic way of living, in harmony with people and nature. The ceremonies were extremely powerful and moving, you could feel the collective magic in the air. As if when tension is so thick you could cut the air with a knife, it was the same thing but in a totally opposite and pleasant way. It’s nourishing for the soul.” - Louis Lovegood

"The time I spent over the Summer with Veronica and my new Rooted Healing family was a profoundly nourishing gift that moved in so many delicate and magical ways. The enchanted land that held us combined with the love, care, warmth and creativity the village made for the safest space in which to bond and soften down among the wonderful crew that were gathered there. Veronica's deep love of the earth, of song and plants, of binding, gathering and weaving people and land together impacts you deeply. My connection to the world around me has been invigorated. A profound thank you." - Sarah McCunn

“Deep gratitude for this beautiful experience. Spending these days at the land of Cae Mabon was like stepping into a dream of how life can be if we remember our true nature and how to live in a relational way. These days gave me clarity on what I want more of in my own life, and how I want to be of service. Experiencing days living in a harmonious village, in community around the fire, in ceremony reconnecting with ancestral crafts I believe would be a healing experience for anyone. It certainly was for me.” - Robin Tag
