Ancestor Circle
2025-09-21 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | online
Focused ritual time to connect with your wise and kind ancestors in a group setting. Pre-requisites:
-you’ve read the Ancestral Medicine book, and/or
-you’ve taken the Ancestral Lineage Healing online course, and/or
-you’ve had private sessions with me or another practitioner in the AM Network.
Please have at least one lineage guide and understand the basics of the ALH framework. If you’re not sure what that means, please check in with me before registering. This isn’t an ALH class; it’s an opportunity to practice together in an affordable way.
The format will include grounding, facilitated connection and intention setting, ample time with your people, and space for sharing and questions. Be ready to take notes for yourself and have a simple altar set up for our gathering–even just a candle. This circle may run 75-90 minutes since we’re on spirit time, so leave a little cushion for transitioning back. The Zoom link will be emailed to you before the gathering.

Despacho: demo and workshop
2025-07-27 13:00 - 14:30 | online
The Andean despacho is a way of dispatching prayers for the world through offerings in the form of a mandala. Learn some Q’ero cosmology and and concepts as we build a despacho together over Zoom. A teaching/ demo that’s also a ceremony, we’ll make our Lughnasadh offerings with plenty of space for Q&A.
This event is free for Patreon subscribers and $20 otherwise. The Zoom link will be provided on Patreon and via email prior to the workshop.

Ancestral Lineage Healing - 12 week course
2025-06-18 08:00 - 2025-09-08 17:00 | online
Through inclusive, well-crafted teachings and guided practices, explore living in conscious relationship with the many generations who came before you. The course is appropriate both for beginners and those with years of experience in the terrain of family and ancestral healing.
Ancestral Healing is the practice of connecting with and tending to your ancestors of lineage to bring balance, insight, and healing across generations. It’s rooted in the understanding that our ancestors are not only part of our past but also present today, influencing the well-being, beliefs, and patterns in our personal lives, families, and culture. This work invites us to recognize and honor the gifts of our ancestors and repair wounds or disruptions that may have been inherited and passed down over time.
This course is the original and longest-running course of its type online. It’s grounded, psychologically safe, and pragmatic. Coursework includes tangible processes and practices you can carry into your life.
Mikki will be anchoring the twelve weekly Q&A calls that accompany this course.

I’m happy to join the UU of South Suffolk (Long Island) for a Sunday service honoring the ancestors. All are welcome.
Who are the ancestors, and how and why should we connect with them?

Ancestral Medicine network event: Compassion Fatigue
2024-11-02 14:00 - 15:00 | online
This event is for those who have participated in events at Ancestral Medicine. Please contact me if you’re unsure about joining. The Zoom link is in the Ancestral Medicine connection space calendar or can provided directly on request.

Compassion Fatigue is setting in for many who are paying attention to the tragedies of this time. We know that needs will be great for the immediate tending of human kin in crisis, as well as for the “thousand year plan” of systemic and cultural change. How do we practice skillful self-care knowing that we are interconnected and in this for the long haul? As part of the Ancestral Medicine network, I’ll lead a brief talk and practice with the earth, our spirit allies, and wise ancestors to encourage deep resourcing and kindness.

This free gathering is facilitated by members of the Ancestral Lineage Healing practitioner network under the guidance of Daniel Foor and Shannon Willis. Please note that this is a space of practice and will not include political discussion. In addition to this ritual space, Ancestral Medicine appeals to you to take concrete action towards change and assistance for those in need.

Conversation with Mother Mary - in person
2024-10-19 12:00 - 13:30 | Creative Financial Plan, 101 S. Broadway, Nyack, NY, 10960, United States
Connect directly with Mother Mary in an intimate conversation. Her messages in live channeling sessions are always timely, profound, uplifting, and incredibly comforting. Mikki has been connecting with Mary through conscious channeling for over a decade, and held many of these Conversations online during lockdown. It’s a treat to be able to gather in person to enjoy the sweet Marian energy together!

There is often time during Mary’s message for Q&A, blessing, or guided meditation. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Note: I recommend the soundbath with Lisa at 10am in the same space. Enjoy that, get a snack at one of Nyack’s great cafes, and come back for Mary as part of a self-care day!

Trauma Talk for Practitioners
2024-02-29 19:00 - 20:00 | online
How can healers and coaches be better at what they do?
When you’ve learned about transformation and self-improvement, why is it also important to be trauma-informed?
Why are so many spiritual-seeker clients and students being negatively impacted by the very things that are marketed to help them?
If you’re wanting to improve your skills as a healer or coach in any modality, join Mikki and the multi-talented Eryka Peskin for this informal conversation and Q&A. Build your vocabulary with us and leave with resources to continue practicing deeper integrity and kindness with your clients.
Mikki will bring fifteen years of experience as a shamanic healer and ritualist (including her mistakes and lessons learned) to this chat with Eryka, who has “more licenses than any one person should have to maintain” and currently supports practitioners in being trauma-informed. Come in your pjs or tune in from your office for this friendly and informative chat.
This talk is free. Your registration email will be shared only with both facilitators (opt-out anytime).
RSVP HERE

She is a proud social justice warrior who wants the world to be more trauma-informed, and trains coaches and healers on how to be trauma-informed practitioners.

2023-04-01 10:00 - 11:00 | Watermill Center, 39 Water Mill Town Rd, Water Mill, NY, 11976, United States

-receive insight into —and even release— any blocks to moving forward
-take home ideas for continued practice
Open to professional artists, quiet creatives, and everyone in-between. Please dress comfortably and bring a notebook (or other media) to record your impressions. You’re warmly encouraged to spend time at Watermill afterwards to continue integrating and gathering inspiration. REGISTER HERE
