Medicine Women

ANCESTOR MEDICINE

Your body carries more than just your own story.

Behind you are the women who came before you—their resilience and grief, their wisdom and longing, their unfinished songs. Some of their stories were passed down. Others were silenced or lost to migration, war, assimilation, rupture, and time.

Yet something remains in the ways we love, the ways we protect ourselves, the rituals we keep without knowing why, the gifts that seem to have come from somewhere beyond us, the things we are here to carry forward, and the things that may be ours to lay down.

As the year turns toward darkness at a time when the veil is thin, we gather to turn toward the women (and men) behind us.

Through guided meditation, breath, sound, and ritual, we will quiet the thinking mind and listen for what arises.

Rose will be our medicine once again, holding our hearts as we make space for what has traveled through generations: the wounds, but also the beauty, resilience, wisdom, and medicine.

Through small-circle sharing, we will explore what we have inherited, what we want to reclaim, and what we are ready to release.

You do not need to know your family history to belong here.

You are invited to adorn yourself with something that honors your ancestors or lineage—a piece that carries memory, meaning, or connection to those who came before you.

We also invite you to bring an offering for our shared ancestral altar: a photograph, heirloom, keepsake, food, flower, or anything that connects you to your roots and those who came before.

Format: Begins promptly at 5:30. We'll open with rose ritual and meditation. We'll then come together to explore ancestor medicine in our own lives. We'll close with time to circle collectively and socialize.

About Medicine Women

Women's health is chronically understudied and overlooked, and the medical system rarely offers the answers we're searching for. The deeper knowing has always lived in in our bodies, our cycles, our grief, and our knowing. Women have always been one another's medicine — holding space, witnessing, passing wisdom, truth, and knowledge across kitchen tables and circles for generations. This group is a sacred space for that remembering.

Medicine Women is a space for women to gather and share lived experiences, resources, and wisdom around health, illness, burnout, and healing — not to fix or advise, but to witness, support, and learn from one another.
