Starseed Root - School of Traditional Healing

STARSEED ROOT SCHOOL OF TRADITIONAL HEALING

A REVILLAGING PROJECT IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO

We are living in a time where most of us have been disconnected from our ancestral wisdom, teachings and homelands for many generations. This disconnect has produced a modern-day people who have forgotten many of the essential tenants of what it means to be human, and how to sustain the continuation of human life. Evidenced in our health outcomes, political disasters, and climate change, the dis-ease of society is apparent to any of us who are paying attention.

We understand that at the root of our societal disease, are global and national structures that disempower people and the Planet. In contention, generating conflict, these structures invoke energies of disconnection and Death, instigating us to fight back.

Yet, rather than fight, we understand that the most effective, impactful use of our collective energy comes from creating structures and systems that support Life and our connection to it.

OUR VISION

At its foundation, Starseed Root exists to plant the seeds of harmony with Life, for the next seven generations, through active co-creation with Life.

We are in time when we do not need to follow leaders- rather we need to have the tools and spiritual maturity to lead our own selves. We value the wisdom of all our lineages—and call upon this bloodline wisdom so that the people may heal and prosper upon a thriving planet.

Starseed Root School is a response to the modern-day epidemics of depression, anxiety and stress and the need for community and ceremony; women’s health issues and environmental justice; and the legacy of oppression, the illusion of separation and the unification of the human-race.

We provide and promote preventative health care education and services to empower people. Our workshops, classes and ceremonies assist people in remembering and reclaiming their/our inherent inner power, as well as developing and applying skills that support living a more responsible, higher quality, awakened and aware existence.

OUR MODEL

Starseed Root works from the understanding that tending to the physiological design of human life (versus forcing our physiological design into societal frameworks) is one of the best ways to assure thriving life for humanity. Our programming is centered around four major facets of content, emphasizing the life-skills we believe are essential to forge new, healed ways forward as a collective:

REVILLAGING

THE PRIMAL CONTINUUM OF HUMAN LIFE

HEALING CEREMONIES

HEALING ARTS WORKSHOPS AND MENTORSHIP

Inspiration

The Starseed Root School of Traditional Healing is:

A land-based community and School of Traditional Healing; sharing the skills of living in connection and creating a new human culture.

Working with the traditions of our ancestors in a modern context – to bring about a cultural shift that is based in the Sacredness of Life.

Rooted in knowing our respective and collective histories, in honor of our ancestral lines, and working for a time yet to come.

In service to Life – planting the seeds of visions through our work – that may not bear fruit until the children of our grandchildren are born.

Facilitating community to restore rites of passage and communal ways.

Supporting adults in their maturation in order to become the elders and eventual well ancestors who our collectives need to continue resourcing the living towards healing.

For those who desire to remember their purpose on Earth/their purposeful work on Earth.

A place to remember our joy and celebration of Life.
