Awaken Your Roots
Full Description
From Pacha philosopher and ecopsychologist Lorena Saavedra Smith comes a guide to recover agency and belonging through the medicine of Nature, cultural connection, and ancestral wisdom.
Have you felt disconnected from your family story and traditions, lost for a sense of home and belonging? While circumstance may have forced this detachment, a new path is yours to forge, one that leads you back to what’s rightfully yours.
Reclaim your agency and purpose—especially from cultural forces that have caused you to feel deficient, inadequate, and invisible. Lorena Saavedra Smith knows this path, as her personal wounds related to war, financial hardship, and intergenerational trauma have become portals through which she reconnected to her own medicine. Here, she offers the key to personal and collective healing, guiding you in ways to move through anxiety and shame, rediscover your inner wisdom, and access the tools to interweave your dreams with your own deep roots. She supports you to:
• Realize a deeper understanding of your wounds and make peace with your own personal story
• Reunite with your fragmented parts and begin to identify the medicine to heal your inner child
• Create sacred boundaries to cultivate a space of self-protection and self-honoring
• Find safety in your body and trust in yourself
• Reestablish a connection with Nature and the elements in your daily life
• Realize the value of working with honorable teachers and elders
• Investigate what it means to find and manifest your specific medicine for the world
Reconciling with our ancestors’ traditions and weaving ourselves back into our history is a therapeutic endeavor that deserves to be embarked upon with respect and authenticity. “Ancestral knowledge, at its core,” says Lorena, “has communal threads linked to Nature. All of us can come back to these basic roots.” With focus on sacred poetic insights, ancestral wisdom, and relationship with nature, Lorena provides an integrated experience for facing the jaguar—a powerful symbol of courage and purpose—through mirroring and embodiment practices. By cultivating personal medicine and sharing it with others, we can all live the life we deserve.
