Finding Resilience through Resilient Ancestors

Finding Resilience through Resilient Ancestors: Looking Back to Resource the Present 

Do you ever wonder how you might be more resilient? Beyond the normal means of food, exercise, mental attitude, social groups and connections? Where else do you go to look for more capability in this area? Yet it’s required - we live in rapidly changing and demanding times, where the thrust to move forward is continual, often at the cost of our wellbeing and with little to no time to honour our past and integrate the benefits of our collective learning. 

The Power of Ancestral Connection

Exploring our ancestry can be invaluable in helping individuals access and develop a greater sense of belonging, capability and resourcefulness. 

Additionally, the act of honouring our ancestors (known and unknown) can help us to recognise and integrate resilience and confidence in the face of adversity. 

Connecting with our ancestry in a meaningful way can be a source of deep learning and self-understanding.  Aspects of others that we identify with, as well as wish to change, can have a profound impact on our leadership styles and our world view. 

Whether in our parenting or our presentations at work, how we align to the past affects how we show up in the present.

Qualities and characteristics that are present within our lineage, consciously or unconsciously, can inform our understanding of, and belief in, our superpowers and our growth edges.

The Journey of Discovery

This Coaching Short is designed to enable participants to connect more deeply with their innate skills and resources, as bestowed through their ancestral line. We will use group ritual, family systems mapping, constellations, ancestor dialogue and ritual and ceremony to support a deeper understanding of self and identity by connecting to those who have gone before us. 

Integration and Application

We will use our lived experience as evidence to examine resilience and confidence as felt senses, so that we can integrate and apply them to the current challenges we face.

Ancestral exploration is a powerful tool to help us shed light on systemic dynamics in our work and home environments, as well as understanding the unspoken dynamics that influence our ability to relate to the systems we belong to and the stories we carry inter-generationally.
