bridging the pragmatic and the Sacred at the crossroads of
grief, trauma, ritual, and ancestral healing
grief, trauma, ritual, and ancestral healing
|
Deepening our capacity to grieve, to heal trauma responses, to live a ritual life in reciprocity with the animate world, and to relate meaningfully with our ancestors expands our resiliency and belonging with our self, others and the wider web of relationships we are embedded in. Dedication to (re)learning these skills supports liberatory change towards sustainable, loving, and just futures, personally and collectively.

Whether mentoring individuals, teaching online programs, providing consultation to teams, offering trauma-informed training, facilitating a group process experience, or leading a community ritual, I recognize people in their energetic and holistic selves - mental, emotional, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual - and as embedded in the wider field of the more-than-human world. I am in ongoing practice to embody and work from a place that understands my own historical and social location as a white queer cis-gendered woman of mainly colonial settler European ancestry.

I acknowledge the ongoing impacts of capitalism, colonialism, racism, sexism, ableism, earth disconnection, and other cultural wounds that work to erase the diversity and dignity of human and other-than-human experiences.
My work and offerings are trauma-informed, somatics-based and anchored in the resiliency of the human spirit, and in animist, anti-oppressive and decolonizing values. |

I highly recommend anything Shauna Janz offers. Turning towards what feels most difficult is not only possible, it's necessary. Doing it while sensing the immediate and broader relational holding space helps us to sense our own power (capacity, vulnerability, wholeness, humanity, compassion) and the scaffolding of support always around us - both human and non-human (spirit, archetypal, four-legged, plants, ancestors...). After spending time with Shauna, I always feel more myself, more capable, more compassionate, more ease, and more available for a good belly laugh or cry.
