The Burning Ceremony: Ancestral Healing Through Time and Space
04/18/24 • 27 min
While visiting with her daughters in Washington State, Mary participated in an indigenous burning ceremony that offered a profound connection with loved ones who have left the physical world. Our latest episode invites you into this sacred space, where we share how performing healing rituals and sharing stories about our loved ones can bring comfort and closure, allowing us to honor their memory in a deeply personal way. We also recount a serendipitous message from a medium, which provided an unexpected sense of peace about a grandchild who passed before birth.
In this episode, we delve into the significance of rituals and collective healing and reflect on the how they contrast with the often performative rituals of our modern culture.
