Lineage of Love- Ancestral Healing & Reverence Retreat

Lineage of Love- Ancestral Healing & Reverence at The Sentinel

We are moving into the time of year when all around the Earth, in culture after culture, the Ancestors are remembered, loved, and celebrated. This time is known as Samhain, el Dia de Los Muertos, and All Hallow’s Eve, just to name a few. It is a time of honouring and remembering. It is a time of turning inward. It is a time of ritual, celebration, and wildness. It is a time when powerfully present prayers can create the conditions for the “veil between the worlds” to lift. Many decide to lose themselves in distraction or old habitual ways of bypassing in this darkening time because the power of this gateway is no small thing. In fact, this is one of the most sacred and powerful gateways of the solar cycle within the ancient mystery schools.

In this ceremonial retreat we will reverently celebrate and bring healing to the Ancestors, through a Heart Medicine ceremony and practices to help us remember that life and death are not separate. The intention of this gathering is to honour our lives, and those of our loved ones beyond the veil, by entering into this time of “darkness” (our own inner mythic realm where the ancestors dance) in conscious remembrance, reverence, and ritual. 

We will co-create a sacred altar in honour of the dearly departed in all of our lives, we will co-create a feast for the Ancestors through the creation of Despacho, and we will celebrate our lives and theirs through song, dance, and ceremony. True, lasting, and powerful healing is available for our generational wounding. It’s time to clear the past to be able to consciously create our future.

We will explore the questions:

• What are the gifts of your ancestral legacy? 
• How can you create a deeper felt connection to the Ancestors?
• What are the gifts and blessings the Ancestors offer and how can we align with this?
• What medicine is in your heart to manifest into your life and this earth?
• How can remembering the Ancestors and all that came before support the unique Medicine that you bring to the Earth?

Commitment — choosing to face inherited patterns with courage and compassion.
Connection — restoring relationship with ancestors, land, and lineage wisdom.
Communion — healing within the larger family of past, present, and future beings.

Focus areas:

• Ancestral healing and reconciliation
• Grief, resilience, and lineage gifts
• Restoring right relationship across time

Across all Visionary Hearts events, our members are invited into a carefully held ceremonial field devoted to embodied healing, relational truth, and spiritual maturity. While each gathering has its own unique focus, rhythm, and medicine, all are held within the same devotional container of care, discernment, and integration. 

Within this field, you can expect to be supported through:

• Earth-honoring ceremony rooted in living lineage traditions
  Grounding your healing in time-tested wisdom that restores a beautiful relationship with the Earth, the ancestors, and the unseen forces that support life.
• Heart-centered practices that bring Love into the body, relationships, and daily life
  Training the capacity to live from the Heart — not only in moments of insight, but in the ongoing realities of work, family, and service.
• Guided shamanic journeywork and inner listening
  Supporting direct access to the soul’s intelligence and the deeper wisdom held within your psyche, body, and ancestral memory.
• Sacred Council and heart-centered community dialogue
  Creating a respectful relational field where truth can be spoken, witnessed, and integrated without judgment, fixing, or performance.
• Restorative movement, breathwork, and somatic practices
  Helping insights land in the nervous system and body, so transformation becomes regulated, sustainable, and embodied.
• Time for rest, reflection, and renewal in beautiful natural settings
  Allowing the pace of Nature to support integration, clarity, and the restoration of inner coherence.

Ongoing integration support, including monthly community integration circles
Ensuring that what is awakened in ceremony is carried into daily life through reflection, practice, and relational support over time.
