Connecting with the ancestors is a foundational practice in shamanism for healing, and also for support in all other ceremonial and spiritual work we do. The ancestors inform and guide our path. Relating with them is deeply comforting and soulful work. In this enlightening 4-month program, Shamanic Teacher and Spiritual Advisor, Stacey Couch facilitates five students on a journey into discovery of our personal ancestors. Through these journeys we experience the unique ways that healing takes place by collaborating and co-creating with our ancestors.
No previous experience required. Program fee includes access to Stacey’s “Shamanic Journey Guide” which is packed with helpful information on shamanic journeying. It includes a 70-minute instructional video, drumming audio recordings to download, supplies list, and resource list.
Support is available from Stacey via Zoom Team Chat and email throughout the length of this course.
Who are the ancestors?
Ancestors are typically defined as the people you are directly descended from going back three generations or more. That means your great-grandparents and beyond. These are the people who’s DNA and cellular memories are coded into your energetic make-up and karmic path.
What is Ancestral Healing?
Ancestral Healing is reconnecting with our cultural and ethnic identity by relating with our ancestors. Healing naturally occurs as we get to know our ancestors and ourselves better. Things that were once a mystery now make more sense. Self-knowledge leads to self-compassion. Ancestral healing is also the healing of family trauma from painful events both big and small that is passed down through the generations. We receive help with this work from our spirit guides and animals. It is not necessary to know what trauma needs healing or the exact wounds our ancestors experienced. On shamanic journeys with our guides and ancestors, the story often unfolds in images, archetypes, and symbols that speak to us and heal us on a deep, soul level.
Stacey Couch is a trained and experienced facilitator who holds space for the process, channels Divine support through ceremony, and shows up for students as they navigate the healing that comes as a result of journeying with the ancestors.
Please note: This is a program for your personal healing, not a training for you to do shamanic healing for others.
Do you need to know who your ancestors are to participate?
NO. The brilliance of the shamanic journey, is that we can go and connect with our ancestors even if we do not know their names or even where they are from. If you have small bits of information, such as an idea of the country or region they are from (either from family stories or DNA tests), this can be helpful, but is not necessary.
What if you’re adopted or estranged from your birth parents?
If you are adopted or don’t know one or both of your birth parents, your ancestral healing journeys can focus on your spiritual ancestors. These include the ancestors of the people that raised you and of the important parental figures throughout your life.

This program guided by Stacey provides a community for you and other seekers involved in deep transformation. Here you have an opportunity to talk, think, listen and feel through what you are experiencing. Stacey has over 15 years of experience leading groups in shamanic journeywork.
Talking with others about your interior life can be scary, especially when your experiences are different than those of the people around you. That’s the value of the being in a program with Stacey Couch. She provides a safe place to reveal conversations with your soul. Stacey holds a sacred space for you to share, for different ideas to arise, and for kinship and compassion beyond tolerance to grow. Her work is that of guiding you to the knowing that resides in your divinity.
In this program, we share our questions and consider possibilities. There is no doctrine, no right answer, and no one person smarter or wiser than the other. We all bring our own life experience and wisdom. In this space it is okay to not have the answers. In fact, that is the gentlest position. Rather than try to answer all of each other’s questions, we explore ideas and sit in wonder, wondering what is and sharing the little glimpses we each have the privilege to know.
What is a shamanic journey?
Much like a waking dream and known as “soul-flight”, shamanic journeys allow you to connect deeply with your soul. Exploring the spirit world, you communicate with spirit animals and guides. Through relating with the Soul of the World, shamanic journeys bring pivotal guidance and healing.
A process of direct connection with spirit helpers, the shamanic journey is a powerful modality for finding connection in your spiritual life. Being able to communicate directly with Source for support nourishes any person of any spiritual or religious background. Any and all beliefs are accepted in this diverse practice.
What is shamanism?
Shamanism is a a spirituality characterized by the following: an animistic, earth-centered faith, regular communication with spirit guides and animals, and the practice of “journeying” or soul-flight into mystical realms.
Anthropologists have dated shamanism back 100,000 years and discovered it at the root of every culture. Thus, everyone has a shaman somewhere in their lineage. You can practice shamanism and do shamanic journeys for your personal growth without needing to become a professional shamanic practitioner. The practice was nearly lost with the rise of the modernized world, but in recent times shamanism has experienced a resurgence as its ability to unlock valuable guidance and remarkable healing is rediscovered.
Attendance is Required
Please check your calendars carefully and be sure that you are available to attend each session. Since this program is for a small amount of people, your attendance is REQUIRED once you register.
Your participation is key to make this work.
In this digital era people tend to be more casual about online activities. That works really well for the mass presentations with one teacher speaking to hundreds of students online, but for small, intimate discussion groups like we are forming, live attendance is necessary to make this work.
Your fellow seekers need your voice and questions to enrich the experience. Out of respect for your fellow seekers, please don’t fail to show and take up the spot of someone who would have been able to attend and benefit from the discussion.
Please be sure to check your calendars and make sure that the times and dates work for you in your time zone. And be sure to reserve the time in your schedule. The fee for this small group program must be paid in advance and is non-refundable.
After each program, you receive an audio recording of the meeting to download via Dropbox. Recordings are available within 24-hours after each session. These recordings are available for download for 6 months following the program. If all students consent to video recording, video recordings will also be made available. Please note, that you need to attend a live session and meet your fellow students before you receive the link to the recordings.
One week prior to the event, you will receive an email with details on how to attend the event via your computer, mobile device or phone. It is preferred that you attend the event via video conference, but you can also call in by phone.
