Streaming from the sacred land of Mt. Shasta, at the feet of Shastini, this intimate episode carries the medicine of pilgrimage, story, and ancestral remembrance. Brooke Shannon Sullivan shares a deeply personal journey into ancestral healing—one that highlights the blessings as much as the burdens.

Along the way, you’ll meet mountains as ancestors, bald eagles and starlings as messengers, and grandmothers as guides. You’ll hear reflections from a California pilgrimage woven with birthday shakti—turning an age that marks a major threshold and brings new clarity about the gifts of lineage.

Have you ever asked yourself…

• Why do I feel weighed down by family patterns that aren’t mine?

• How can I heal ancestral wounds while also claiming my blessings?

• What does Pitru Paksha mean, and how do I practice it in modern life?

• Can mountains, animals, or birthdays carry ancestral messages?

This episode offers answers and practices. You’ll discover how ancestral journeys bring clarity, stability, and unique gifts—psychic sensitivity, intuitive knowing, and guidance from the natural world—that help you walk your dharmic path with more freedom and belonging.

✨ Highlights include:

• The spiritual significance of Pitru Paksha in the Vedic calendar

• Why eclipse season magnifies ancestral healing work

• Mountains as ancestors and the guidance of animals and elders

• Birthday shakti as an initiatory threshold

• Discerning burdens to release and blessings to claim

Instead of seeing ancestral healing only as a path of sorrow, this conversation reframes it as a journey of clarity, repair, and blessing—a way to understand the skillsets and guidance carried forward through your bloodline.
