Ancestral Healing
Nuru memberAncestral healing works with the wounds, patterns, and gifts passed down through family lineages. It recognises that unresolved trauma does not end with the individual — it is carried forward. Ancestral healing seeks to honour, release, and transform these inherited patterns.
Cultural origin
Rooted in African, Indigenous, and Asian traditions that recognise the living relationship between the present and those who came before. Found in Ifá, Candomblé, Vodou, Shinto, and many other traditions worldwide.
What a session involves
Sessions may include ritual, guided meditation, energy work, and conversation. Some practitioners work within specific traditions; others take an integrative approach. Sessions typically last 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Who it's for
Anyone working with deep-seated patterns, family trauma, identity, or disconnection from their roots. Particularly resonant for those from the African diaspora, indigenous communities, or those with complex family histories.
