Roots & Remembrance

Every seeker carries a quiet ache for home. This week, we honour that longing as sacred, the doorway into remembrance.

· Theme: Naming the longing. Recognising the desire for roots and belonging.

· Practice: Create a belonging altar with soil, family photos, or symbolic objects.

· Integration: Journal on the question: Where do I feel most at home?

Before reaching for lineage, we begin with the ground beneath our own feet. Your body is the first land you belong to.

· Theme: Grounding in self and body.

· Practice: Somatic grounding ritual (barefoot walking, breath into the earth).

· Integration: Reflect on moments when you felt rooted or unrooted in yourself.

The stories of those before you live in your bones. This week, we listen for their whispers and remember their strength.

· Theme: Meeting the ancestral field.

· Practice: Guided meditation or letter-writing to an ancestor.

· Integration: Journal: What ancestral strengths have I inherited?

Lineage is woven through story. By remembering, we mend the threads that have been frayed or forgotten.

· Theme: Storytelling as remembrance.

· Practice: Share or record a family or cultural story.

· Integration: Reflect on how story shapes your sense of belonging.

Where there is fracture, there is also the chance for repair. This week, we tend to ancestral wounds with compassion.

· Theme: Witnessing and healing ancestral pain.

· Practice: Ritual of offering — flowers, song, or prayer for the lineage.

· Integration: Journal: What cycles am I choosing to heal or end?

You carry not only wounds but also wisdom. This is the week of reclaiming gifts from those who walked before you.

· Theme: Reclaiming ancestral strengths and blessings.

· Practice: Create a “wisdom talisman” (drawing, object, or mantra).

· Integration: Write a gratitude note to your lineage.

Roots are not only behind you — they are alive in you, and through you. You become part of the living chain of remembrance.

· Theme: Embodying rooted belonging now.

· Practice: Embodied movement ritual — rooting through feet, spine, breath.

· Integration: Journal: How do I embody rootedness in daily life?

The journey ends where it began — with belonging. This time, you return carrying roots and remembrance as living truths.

· Theme: Integration and offering.

· Practice: Closing ritual — create a “Root Map” of practices and blessings to carry forward.

· Integration: Share reflections and commitments to continue living rooted.
