Rodi Healing

Ordinary beauty is often hard to see, when our senses are filled with the horrors of the world. When was the last time you noticed the sun warmth coming through the shade of trees, the gentle wind cooling down the heat, the sounds of birds and wind shaking the grass?

A kind of Seeing that does not negate the scary, sorrowful and rage-inducing state that humans are marinating in, that does not try to hide the difficulty of life, and one that also sees the ordinary beauty in its unpretentious glory. This can come with a heart gently cracking, or as we say in greek "heart orchard" - "καρδιά περιβόλι".

Grief can often be the distance between seeing the messiness of world clearly, and loving it for what it is, not what we wish it was or thought that it should be. And paradoxically, this can free up our hands to effect lasting, positive change in the world.

In about one month, we'll gather online with to tend to some of these grief threads. See you there? Link in bio.

In times where the "wellness world" is conspiring with the status quo to create even more wealth for the few, where therapists and coaches of various denominations become instagram gurus offering solutions to take away our pain, and where the trauma therapy market becomes increasingly innundated by promises of individual wellness without mutual care, it felt like a breath of fresh air to gather with colleagues and friends from the Ancestral Medicine Network in solidarity and mutual support.

Healing is rarely an individual business, good psychotherapy, good ritual and grounded spirituality knows that, so I'm grateful that over 5 days we moved ritually around complex intergenerational histories of colonialism, civil war, patriarchy and Iberian resilience in good company.

Thank you to for orchestrating the gathering and to everyone involved for coming forth with so much heart, care and warm spirit. Also a big thank you to all from the Network who took photos featured here!
May the work we did, ripple out and affect all who need it.

Καθώς οι μέρες έχουν μικρύνει και τα βλέμματα γυρνούν σιγά σιγά και προς τα μέσα, ο καιρός προσφέρεται για συνάντηση με τους προγόνους και μια πιο εσωτερική διεργασία εμβάθυνσης και μεταμόρφωσης των κληρονομημένων φορτίων σε δύναμη.

Το εισαγωγικό για το σεμινάριο θα γίνει online στις 1 Νοεμβρίου, και το σεμινάριο θα λάβει χώρα σε 4 μονοήμερες συναντήσεις, κοντά στον Μαραθώνα στην Ανατολική Αττική, δίπλα στη φωτιά και την ησυχία του φυσικού τοπίου. Στις 8 και 23 Νοεμβρίου και στις 5 και 13 Δεκεμβρίου.

I am thrilled to announce that with Dita Vizoso I’ll be co-leading a session entitled “Grief Tending at the Crossroads” at Emergence Network's Becoming Monster Festival.

We invite you to come honor all the pains and stuckness and numbness that you may be carrying —for your own losses, those of your ancestors, of the world, and to trace different openings of the crossroads, through which the errant, fugitive and excessive 'world' can flow. Gently. Tentatively. Exuberantly.

You can learn more about it on the offerings page on the Becoming Monster Festival webpage if you follow the link on the emergence network.

Excited to see you then and please register in advance to secure your spot: bit.ly/becoming-monster-registration

The world feels increasingly mad at the moment doesn't it? I often lose the ground from underneath my feet, but glad I have ways of returning. These turbulent uncertain times, often cry out for us to develop a deeper root system. That's what we'll be doing in the Autumn, on this 6 week-course on Embodying Ancestral Blessings (in collaboration with True Nature and The Psychedelic Society).
If talking with the dead sounds like a good time, it is. Join us.

Do you struggle to form relationships that feel equal? Are you longing to shift away from patterns of over-efforting and from constantly being on the grind? 🌀

You might not be the problem... but the fact that you are trying to operate in a toxic patriarchal culture. It’s not meant to be this way. 💔

⬇️

In this third and final workshop of the series in partnership with , Alex Ioannou will guide you through a basic ritual framework to connect with blood ancestors who lived before patriarchy, and to seek to understand in an embodied way the antidotes to this particular cultural toxin. This way you can cultivate a more heart-centered and authentic way to show up in your life, your relationships and feel a deep rest and softening in your nervous system.

Have you ever felt deep grief and strong emotions such as guilt, rage, shame or even unusual somatic symptoms when there is no logical reason behind them? 🌀

This might be a sign of unmetabolized ancestral grief. Residue from the hardships that our ancestors went through 💔

⬇️

In this second workshop, Alex Ioannou will guide you through a basic ritual framework to connect with the wise and well ancestors, identify sources of ancestral grief, and express them in a group embodied ritual container.

The work is practical and pragmatic, and can help you feel more grounded in your own body, more conscious about your own path and purpose, and more connected with your own emotions without the burdensome impact of ungrieved experiences.

Yesterday we completed a three-day ancestral healing intensive in La Zubia (near Granada) with nearly 40 participants and six awesome ritualist supporters.

Many who were new to ancestral healing practices made direct connections with what is nourishing from their lineages. Half of the breakout groups were only in Spanish. We gave ritual care to matters of family and cultural pain with elder powers overseeing the unfolding. We moved with Lorca, Camaron, Paco de Lucia.

Prayers were made in Castellano, English, Catalan, Gallego, Portuguese, Greek, Italian, and Arabic, and the offering in the images is now in the cool darkness of Earth, returning, feeding what feeds us.

Particular praise to our support crew and translation team (my Spanish is still clumsy): , and Samara Michaelson. Praise to the holy mountains here and the sacred waters and old powers. It was sweet to gather so close to home and to feel so welcome!

Next stops in 2024 are Budapest and Belfast (still a few spaces for each). It's been nearly 20 years since I first guided the lineage healing process in group space (May 2005 in San Mateo, CA) and it's a heartening to see the progression. ¡Olé!
