This week, Anna Joy brings you a solo podcast episode inspired by recent events both in the political environment of the United States, but also in the anti-racist environment of instagram and social justice online culture. The common thread? Child separation at the border. The context Anna Joy is coming at this from? Ancestral healing as political action.
She starts off with a short poem
about her ancestors and a moment to celebrate today’s Full Moon in
Capricorn (find the youtube video where she goes into it deeper
at

and then gets into the content!
Anna
Joy was encouraged by her own ancestors to share her family’s story
about becoming colonizers in the United States. She shares her
awareness of her Swedish lineage as a case study for how white
women who want to do better can use their family stories of
colonization to heal systems of oppression within themselves and
their society in the current day.
And, if you stick around to the very end, Anna shares the ancestral practice she uses which was taught to her by Winifred at Awentree (www.awentree.com and @awentree on instagram) including an altar and meditation suggestions.
