Voices of the Ancestors ~ How to Release and Heal Spirits of the Departed

with Roger J Woolger, PhD

April 15 – 17, 2011

Most non-western cultures have rituals and practices to facilitate the safe passage of departing spirits to the other side after death to ensure that they literally don’t hang around the living, draining energy and invisibly influencing us.  Celtic wakes for example, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead were both designed for this purpose and to protect the psychic health of the community.

For the most part, however, our culture has few such practices for releasing the dead with the result that many of our energy problems, obsessive issues and persistent complexes often turn out to be old or ancestral spirit energies trying in vain to speak or act through us to resolve unfinished issues not of our, but their making.

In his many years of working in regression therapy and shamanic healing Roger has frequently encountered and removed unwanted and unhappy spirits.  Some spirits originally attached to us in childhood, some after a family member’s death. Others have been with us for many lifetimes.

In this workshop Roger will share his findings, then demonstrate simple and safe methods to release ancestral and past life spirits. Roger principles and approaches derive from Jungian, Buddhist and European views of spirit entities and differ in many respects from Spiritualist ways of working with obsessors. He aims to demystify misleading superstitions about “possession”, the demonic and “evil” by showing how all so-called “dark” and vengeful entities all respond to loving and compassionate treatment.
