Ancestral Lineage Healing
Connecting with our ancestors is a normal thing in indigenous cultures, including Georgia’s mountain regions of Khevsureti and Tusheti.
The connection with the ancestors helped the communities to face individual and collective challenges in a more resourced and wise way.
Raptures in our ancestral connections can show themselves not only as inherited traumas, but also as a helplessness in dealing with those traumas. Often we don’t even know what the root of a trauma is and thus how to face it.
During the ancestral lineage healing process we connect with the well and wise ancestral field, which contains the knowledge around the root of the wound, as well as the medicine for it.
In the process we learn how to reestablish healthy relational ties with our ancestors, become aware of wholesome sources in our lines, get stronger in our intuitive skills and come into more authentic relationship with ourselves, with our family and the world around us.
The Healing process
The Method
The ancestral healing process looks from the outside like a guided meditation, from the inner perspective it is more like inner journeying and in some cases also channeling.
The aim of the ancestral healing process is to connect with a well and wise ancestral source and from there to start the healing of the complete lineage.
The first step
The first step of the healing process is to assess the condition of the first four lines (father’s father line, father’s mother line, mother’s mother line, mother’s father line). After the assessment we have a base on that we can choose which lineage we want to start the healing process with.
The healing process
The healing process contains four steps:
1. Connecting with a well and wise ancestor
2. Assisting the older ancestors
3. Assisting the more newly deceased ancestors
4. Fanning of the ancestral blessings to family members
Completion
The healing on an ancestral linage is completed, when the line is whole and we are not receiving ancestral burdens from that line anymore.
In their wholesome expression the ancestors:
• Bless every living face of that lineage and send them blessings.
• Update our DNA on the new healed condition.
• You take your role as the face of their ancestral blessings.
When the first four lineages completed the healing you are not in ancestral deficit anymore. You have now a powerful and wise council that you can call in for help around matters such as:
• Your purpose.
• Cultural healing and resourced ways of activism.
• Connecting and deepening with not-blood related ancestors of culture and spirit, religions, philosophies and practices.
Q&A
What is Ancestral Lineage Healing?
Ancestral Lineage Healing is a method created by Dr. Daniel Foor. It is designed to heal ancestral lineages in a strategic and ritually safe manner.
Who are the ancestors?
In this method we call the ancestors those people who came before us and we carry in our DNA.
What are ancestral lineages?
Ancestral lineages mean the mother’s mother line, mother’s father line, father’s father line, father’s mother line and all the uncountable numerous lines that make us up on a biological and energetic level. Each and every one of us are a unique face of our numerous ancestral lineages crossing paths and coming together through our embodiment.
The old and the newer ancestors
The newer ancestors are the ones who’s names and stories we remember.
Connecting with the older ancestors on a conscious level requires often a different way of attunement as many of them lived in times that go beyond our knowledge in history. Nevertheless, the ancient ancestors still have a strong impact on us and on our DNA.
What are the benefits of ancestral healing?
Our “modern” cultures carry a great deal of unprocessed ancestral burdens, that is reflected in our individual, collective, political and economic realities. When the collective field is burdened with unprocessed ancestral trauma, it affects our reality as individuals and as a collective.
Similar to individual trauma, collective trauma needs healing attention to break unhealthy chains.
Our ancestors play a big role in shaping our current political, economic, social and personal realities. Wars, unjust power dynamics, sexism, racism and the many other troubles play out as traumatic ancestral legacies in the collective and prevent healthy societal growth.
If we want to free ourselves from intergenerational burdens, reclaim our personal power and be more resourced and successful in matters of cultural recovery and justice, it’s important to heal the ancestral field.
Epigenetics
The notion of epigenetic showcases that an impactful enough experiences can embed itself into our DNA, which we pass further down to later generations.
In a positive way this could look like a skill or knowledge passed down lineage and used in the benefit for the environment. For example healing abilities.
In a negative way this means impacts as traumas, that don’t get the attention needed and are passed down lineage.
In the ancestral lineage healing process we aim to break unhealthy ancestral patterns and strengthen the super powers and blessings of the ancestral lineage.
What if I don’t like my ancestors?
Because of the violence and unjust that mankind created and remembers in history it would be understandable, if you are not proud of your ancestors. Often the more recent ancestors, sometimes whose names we know, are more connected to those troubles.
No matter how big the troubles that a lineage enacted or received, we all have well, wise and kind ancestors. Even if they are far in the past. We can connect with them and ask them to heal the unhelpful legacy that is laying on us and on the collective as a burden.
Can everyone connect with their ancestors?
Every human being has the capability to connect with their ancestors. This is a normal thing in indigenous societies. Many current societies experienced a cultural rapture, that disrupted this knowing.
Connecting with our ancestors is a learnable skill, like any other skill. Similar to a muscle, the more we use it, the more it strengthens.

What is the ancestral lineage healing project?
The ancestral lineage healing project is funded by the Women’s Fund of Georgia and aims to make the ancestral healing modality accessible especially to disadvantaged people, who actively engage is social and environmental justice matters, but who might lack the financial recourses to otherwise afford the ancestral healing modality.
The project contains the following offerings:
- Online gatherings that are recorded and uploaded on the website.
- In-person gatherings in Tbilisi.
- Retreats outside of Tbilisi, with held ancestral lineage healing workshops.
- Ancestral healing circles, for those who have started the ancestral healing process.
Who can participate in the ancestral healing circles?
The ancestral healing circles where created to support those who started the healing process and assist them with the continuation of the foundational healing. Our goal is to offer our participants recourses and support, so they can continue successfully with the healing process.
Joining the ancestral healing circle is possible for those, who attended at least one retreat or have taken minimum five individual sessions.
