We are all part of a long line. Behind us are generations of women and men who loved, fought, lost, hoped, and survived. Their decisions, their influences, their unlived dreams often continue to affect us, and sometimes we feel that what shapes us is older than we are ourselves.
Habits, loyalties, characteristics, expectations, or unspoken stories that run through our lives like a quiet background noise. Some of it carries us forward. Some of it holds us back. Because in every line there is both: entanglement and strength. And both can be seen. In the Ancestral Time, I open a safe space for you where family ties and issues can be revealed. Here you can honor your ancestors and clarify what no longer belongs to you and what you no longer wish to carry. It is about resolving old entanglements with dignity and at the same time experiencing the power of your roots as a resource again. I accompany you mindfully and lovingly with shamanic energy work, always at your pace and with whatever wants to reveal itself at that moment.
Perhaps a ritual of letting go by the fire will emerge, perhaps a symbolic return, a clarifying conversation with those who have gone before, or perhaps the consciously strengthening qualities of your ancestors that want to be integrated to support you on your further path. The retreat takes place in the Styrian Murtal, surrounded by forest, water, and rolling mountains. Without digital distractions, without outside noise. Instead, there is the earth beneath your feet, the crackling of the fire, and enough space for what is often hidden in everyday life to reveal itself. Everything is allowed to be here: gratitude, pain, pride, ambivalence. Your origins are not judged, they are acknowledged. Nature and the all-inclusive care create a protected environment in which you can fully engage in your process.
In between, there is plenty of time for silence, writing, walking, letting things sink in, or simply sitting by the water or in the forest. The cabin offers you a simple, warm retreat, with everything you need so that you can fully engage in your process without having to worry about external factors.
Ancestral time is for women and men who want to break free from invisible loyalties and entanglements, who no longer want to carry on inherited family patterns and burdens, yet still want to remain connected to their ancestral roots with dignity and consciously accept the power of their lineage as a tailwind. For people who have experienced family losses, who are in new family roles, or who are leaving their parental home, either internally or externally.
In the past, such transitions were naturally accompanied by rituals. Today, we must consciously create these spaces again. If you would like to enter this space, please feel free to contact me for a non-binding phone call to get to know each other and for more information. Please note the seasonal and midweek/weekend pricing options.
