Echoes of the Ancestors, Inc. presents: An Introduction to Dagara Shamanism
When we are experiencing chaos in our lives, there is a corresponding rift in the invisible world that we can heal. Working with our ancestors as allies, we have the power to do the double work of healing the wounds that we carry and allowing
them to overcome the obstacles that keep them from moving to higher planes of consciousness. We are learning to forge these healing alliances, and we invite you to join us. We are offering a non-residential, five-all day series, in 2004 in
Chico cultivating and immersing ourselves in the teachings of the Dagara people. [Learn more]
Ancestralizing the Dead
In this five day event, we will address this issue of fulfilling our duties toward the dead in the interest of transforming restlessness into rest, discontinuity into continuity, and homelessness into homecoming. Though grief is an essential
first step which heals the crisis of separation and reconciles the living with the dead, it must lead to the homecoming of the dead. In the Dagara tradition this happens in a ritual process that culminates with the dead coming home to the ancestors’
shrine in the form of a wooden stick for men and a small stool for women. It is this process we are going to learn, with an eye on how to adapt and improve upon it to fit the circumstances of modernity. I hope you can join us in this vast new initiative
so that together we can tackle the daunting job of ancestralizing the numberless loved ones waiting to come home. [Learn more]
