Gatherings & Workshops
Much like the trees of an ancient forest ancestors provide us roots which shape the foundations of our lives, grounding us deep into Earth. They are the ones who reflect our deep interconnectedness by honouring our relationship with ourselves, to others and to the lands, seas and skies which form our being. They hold within our bloodlines, great wisdom, reminding us of whom we belong. Over centuries of colonisation, cultural dismemberment and intergenerational severance, many of us have become disconnected from these old ways of ancestral devotion and cultural wellbeing…until now.
Testimonials
Clan Gatherings
Cultural Group Therapy Sessions
In Celtic-Gaelic languages, the word ‘Clan’ holds great significance. Its direct translation means ‘children,’ the ones who’s decent is interwoven with each other, within the fabric of the great grandmother, An Cailleach’s tartan. In Gaelic lores clans were not determined by blood, but by kinship. It is in honour of these woven kinship threads that Mollie invites you to her Clan Gatherings; cultural group therapy sessions to explore the blood and heart. Every session, a theme relating to ancestral reconnection and cultural wellbeing is chosen to gently guide conversation in a group setting, allowing kin to share their experiences of this journey in a culturally safe, trauma-informed and therapeutic space.
