Writing with the Ancestors

Cultivating ancestral connection through the written word

Join live for...

  • Guided ancestral meditations

  • Writing prompts to explore:

    • Your ‘ancestral voice’

    • Stream of consciousness writing and ‘channeling’

    • Embodied creative practices

  • Community dialogue and sharing circle

Join Ophilia on Wednesday, June 12th for an hour of guided visualizations and writing prompts, channeled through with the intention of cultivating deeper connection with our Beloved Dead.

We will call on those ancestors who are ready to be of service to our life, explore our “ancestral voice,” channeling, and ways that ancestral relationship can inform and uplift our creative expressions.

Come with an openness to play and share. While sharing your writing is not obligatory, it is encouraged as we weave community and hold space with our ancestors and one another.

“See now, the sparkle of an eye in needles of pine, adrift, lifted by wind and sprays of shine

Hear now, the bright words of birdsong, leaping in ribbons of molten gold through lightened air

This is the earth, dreaming you”

— Excerpt from Dreaming with the Earth, a Guidebook of Poetry, Ritual, and Dreaming by Ophilia Mandara
