The energetic work of this Healing Circle for the Gemini Super New Moon will help with ancestral healing and having the confidence to take inspired action.
The Father Wound is generational pain and trauma centered around acceptance and shame.
This trauma happens as a result of failing to have a strong, loving, and supportive relationship at any age with a responsible father who is reliable and trustworthy.
This can happen for many reasons: absence (abandonment, death, failure to protect from mother's abuse); abuse; addiction; or neglect (emotionally distant, excessive dominance or passivity, withholding love).
This creates a deep longing to be accepted and loved not just by the father but in other relationships.
This pain changes the trajectory of our lives from romantic relationships to addiction, from education to behavior, and even affecting us genetically.
This pain is passed down on physical, psychological, and energetic levels, impacting the father, child, relationships, and society in present and future generations.
This cycle of suffering and generational trauma is a result of the challenges men face as they go through life, especially with emotions, vulnerability, and what it means to be a man.
Men don't have to suffer in silence and neither do their children. By bringing these issues out of the darkness and into the light, together we can heal our individual and collective wounding.
Instead of passing on the pain we cannot bear alone, we can create a new legacy.
This Healing Circle is for you if:
- you're a father
- you've lost your father
- you have a challenging relationship with your father or men in general
- your father was absent physically or emotionally
- you're codependent
- you struggle to express your feelings
- you have problematic, unhealthy relationships
- you're a perfectionist
By healing the Father Wound, you can come into right relationship with your father AND yourself, to break the cycle of suffering.
This offering includes:
- Workshop on the Father Wound. Learn about the Father Wound: what it is, how it's perpetuated, and practical and spiritual exercises to heal it.
- Sharing Circle. Using thoughtful questions, you'll reflect on your relationship with your father and masculinity in general. This is a diverse, inclusive space that's confidential and free of judgment, where you'll be lifted up in the spirit of unconditional love.
- In a shamanic journey, you'll meet with a Sky Father god and helpful ancestors to heal your Father Wound. If your father has passed, this journey can help you connect with them again. Through this shamanic journey, you'll find the peace, love, and acceptance you seek.
