Anna is a Sámi historian with her roots from a Sámi family that was relocated from the area of Arsjogk in Northeastern part of the Kola Peninsula, Eastern Sápmi.

Description
This course is for those who want to learn how to clear and honor ancestral energy. We inherit trauma but also gifts and abilities from our ancestors. The course will involve working towards understanding colonization and its effects on all people, including indigenous individuals, people of color as well as those with European heritage. We will meet twice a month for three months to learn rituals and daily practices to honor our ancestors and connect with them. These meetings will take place on Zoom.
The course will end with a group ceremony on site in Bellingham, WA. Helena will lead an in-person shamanic initiation ceremony for the participants, allowing direct connection to the ancestors. Healers, energy workers, and artists are encouraged to apply. Receiving spiritual power from our ancestors is an important part of sustaining energy for Healers. Let's power up together!
