Witch & Healer Collective Offerings
Bex Mui is also a co-founder of the Witch & Healer Collective
Danyelle Caruthers, The Witchy Femme and Bex Mui, House Of Our Queer are thrilled to announce this new collaboration in 2024.
One of our major offering is What Are Your Roots: Ancestral Healing Work for QTPOC. Below is more information about this work. Stay tuned for our virtual and in-person offerings.
Course Overview
Many of us as queer and trans people are trusting our intuitions, rather than societal and familial expectations, to tell us who we are and how we can best show up in connections and community. While this is freeing, expansive work, it also can cause friction points as we address and break through family and lineage patterns. At the same time, focusing on lineage repair work not only allows us to address connection pain points in the present, but to send healing back for generations. This 6 week, in person offering is an opportunity to delve deeper into your ancestral healing work. We begin in the present, explore the past, and then create new possibilities for our individual and collective futures.
Course Flow
This course will be offered in the Bay Area, CA, as six 2-hour long evening sessions in early 2024.
The days and start date will be determined by the first cohort’s availability.
Week 1 - PRESENT: We’ll begin this course by focusing on connections: who you are, how you let your identity flow, and how you follow your passions. We will observe our own relational patterns and track back, trusting our internal/intuitive reactions: i.e. Why am I so drawn to Jasmine? In this session, we’ll identify what we want to focus on individually and collectively, and set our intentions to guide the work.
Week 2 - PRESENT: This week we’ll stay rooted in the present to explore how lineage repair work is showing up in your current connections and relationships. Who’s in your spiritual court? What are your current practices to honor your ancestors? Which chosen ancestors are you connected to now?
Week 3 - PAST: Let’s get to the root! In this session, we’ll come together to explore our individual and collective pasts, where these patterns were born, developed, and solidified. Through guided energetic meditation, we’ll travel back to reconnect. We’ll observe these messages, their roots and how they play a role in our learning/healing.
Week 4 - PAST: What now? This week’s session delves deep into the healing work of lineage repair work. Our time together will focus on a collective ritual, focusing on trusting ourselves, our intuitions, and our ancestors to guide the next step of our healing.
Week 5 - FUTURE: This week we’ll focus on reflection to prepare us for the next steps in our healing journeys. Participants will be invited to share what came up in the ritual using a 6-senses model. Through discussion, we’ll take time to name and honor what is coming up for us individually and as a learning community. How do these reflections support expansion, new possibilities and continued growth for yourself and your lineage?
Week 6 - FUTURE: After a closing ceremony, we’ll spend our last session together diving our next steps. What’s next for you, your ancestors, your living family, and your community? What has shifted or changed throughout this course for your connections, identity, and passion pursuit?
