Invisible Worlds
ORIGINS
Ancestral Wisdom for a Changing World
4-Week Online Study Program
March 23rd - April 19th, 2026
An immersive cross-cultural journey into ancestral wisdom and decolonial perspectives on shamanic practices.
In times of accelerated change and uncertainty, ancestral knowledge and what is referred to as shamanic practices are receiving heightened attention. Yet, too often, context and nuance are lost. Origins is an invitation to engage with traditions in a way that honors cultural complexity.
Together, we explore the spiritual and cultural knowledge embedded in the cosmologies, rituals, and healing practices of original cultures—from the Andes to Siberia, uncovering how they can relate to contemporary life and help awaken our own ancestral memory.
Through guided teachings, lectures, creative rituals, and conversations with elders and experts, we navigate the delicate balance between honoring what has been passed down and cultivating something personal, alive and true to ourselves and the contexts that we are living in.
