Hello Rory,

Why do certain family patterns seem to repeat generation after generation?

Curandera Grace Alvarez Sesma teaches that historical forces such as colonialism, displacement, migration, and assimilation have shaped not only communities, but the ways many of us relate to ourselves, our families, and our sense of belonging.

During her recent free event, Maestra Grace shared how these inherited patterns can continue to influence our lives long after the original wounds occurred — and how an Indigenous approach rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and compassion can begin transforming them.

In case you weren't able to join us, we recorded the entire hour for you:

Watch the Replay: The Colonial Wounds You Didn't Know You Carry

As you watch, you'll also hear Grace share new details about her upcoming 7-week course, which begins on Wednesday, September 2:

Releasing Colonial Wounds: An Indigenous Approach to Reclaiming Your Ancestry, Healing Intergenerational Patterns & Restoring a Deeper Sense of Belonging

Throughout this transformative journey, you'll explore your ancestral lineage through an Indigenous framework, uncover inherited patterns that may no longer serve you...

... reconnect with the strengths and resilience carried forward by your ancestors, and cultivate a deeper sense of belonging through guided visualizations, journaling, ceremony, and embodied healing practices.

Reclaiming Ancestral Memory Through the Medicine of Food

Join Curandera Grace Alvarez Sesma and Kitchen Curandera Felicia Cocotzin for an inspiring video conversation about how food can become a powerful bridge to ancestral memory, healing, and belonging.

You'll discover how the ingredients, recipes, and kitchen rituals passed down through generations carry wisdom that can help you reconnect with your roots and cultural identity. Felicia will share practical ways to transform everyday cooking into a living ancestral practice that nourishes both body and spirit.

This heartfelt dialogue will invite you to see your kitchen as a sacred space where memory, resilience, and ancestral wisdom are still alive and waiting to be reclaimed.

This bonus is yours when you register by 11:59pm Pacific on Sunday, August 16.

Over seven empowering weeks under Maestra Grace's expert guidance, you’ll discover that ancestry is far more than a family tree.

It’s a living relationship with those who came before you, the lands they called home, the traditions they carried, the communities that shaped them, and even the family you’ve consciously chosen.

As your understanding of lineage expands, so can your understanding of yourself.

Warmly,

The Shift Network Team
