Daniel Foor: Book Signing and Ancestral Healing Talk @ Crazy Wisdom

Jul 29 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Everyone has loving and wise ancestors, and by reaching out for their support we access tremendous vitality for personal and family healing. In addition to supporting repairs with living family, our ancestors encourage healthy self-esteem and help us to clarify our destiny, relationships, and work in the world.

Join author Daniel Foor for a spirited teaching and inclusive dialogue on ancestral healing on Saturday, July 29th from 6-7:30 pm.

Our talk will also consider implications of ancestral work for cultural healing (e.g., sexism, racism, colonialism). Expect plenty of time for inclusive, culturally mindful dialogue around the subject of relating directly with the ancestors. No need to confirm in advance, $10-20 suggested donation (no one turned away). This will also be a book signing for Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing (great to get your copy on location and support Crazy Wisdom)!

Daniel Foor, PhD, is a licensed psychotherapist and a doctor of psychology. He has led ancestral and family healing intensives throughout the United States since 2005. He is an initiate in the Ifa/Orisha tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa and has trained with teachers of Mahayana Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, and different indigenous paths, including the older ways of his European ancestors. He lives in Asheville, NC. http://ancestralmedicine.org/
