Recap: What Are Your Roots?: Lineage Repair Work for QTPOC (a program presented by Pacific Center in collaboration with the West Berkeley Family Wellness Center)

This 8 week course created an affinity learning space for the groundbreaking, lineage-shifting work of better understanding connection patterns, strengthening intuitive practices, and receiving guidance from bio and chosen ancestors.

Throughout the course, the facilitators guided participants to connect their intuitive decisions to ancestral patterns and to connect energetically to the wisdom in their lineage. We explored relationship repair in the present and past in order to create new possibilities for our individual and collective futures.

This course was offered by Danyelle Caruthers, ASW, MPA, (she/they) and Bex Mui, M.Ed (she/her), co-founders of The Witch and Healer Collective (https://www.witchandhealercollective.com/). Their mission is to create spaces for healing that centers on the spiritual and energetic needs of the q***r and trans community. We heal in community as we heal ourselves.
