Bring Out Your Dead by Ancestral Medicine: Ancestral Healing for Challenging Times

Understanding Ancestral Healing in Times of Upheaval

We are living through an era of global pandemic, economic disruption, and widespread cultural uncertainty. Even for those who remain healthy and resourceful, the collective fear is palpable. It exposes cracks in our physical, emotional, and spiritual infrastructures.

The Bring Out Your Dead course by Ancestral Medicine offers practical, ritual-based guidance for tending to ancestors, engaging with fear, and cultivating resilience. Through eleven lessons, participants explore ancestral healing as a pathway for dignity, justice, and courage during times of upheaval.

Welcome and Getting Started

The opening section orients participants to the flow of the course. Students learn the foundations of ancestral tending, ritual safety, and community-based approaches to navigating uncertainty.

Lesson One: Ancestral Tending and Working with Fear

This first lesson emphasizes caring for ancestors while facing fear directly. Students learn practices for grounding, cultivating courage, and calling on ancestral support during uncertain times.

Lesson Two: Grieving and the Dead

Grief is a vital response to collective and personal loss. This lesson guides participants in honoring the dead, creating space for mourning, and using grief as a transformative force for healing.

Lesson Three: Ancestors and the Other-than-Humans

Students explore relationships with both human and other-than-human kin. This module expands the circle of kinship to include animals, plants, and spirits, deepening awareness of interconnected life.

Lesson Four: Death-Phobia, Anger, Justice, and Non-Duality

This lesson addresses cultural fears of death, unresolved anger, and the role of justice in ancestral healing. Participants practice reframing death and exploring non-dual perspectives to foster acceptance and balance.

Lesson Five: Dignity for the Dying

Lesson five highlights compassionate care for those who are dying. Participants explore rituals, prayers, and practices that uphold dignity, ease suffering, and strengthen the bonds between the living and the dead.

Lesson Six: Fire, Doing Nothing, and the World Center

Students learn how fire, stillness, and awareness of the world center can serve as anchors for ritual practice. This lesson emphasizes rest, reflection, and connection with cosmic rhythms.

Lesson Seven: Wisdom and Cunning

Ancestral healing requires wisdom and sometimes cunning. This module guides participants to draw on ancestral intelligence for navigating social, political, and personal challenges with clarity and resilience.

Lesson Eight: Greeting and Thanking the Smalls

Participants learn to honor the “smalls”—the overlooked, the subtle, and the vulnerable. By greeting and thanking the small beings in life, students cultivate humility, gratitude, and expanded awareness.

Lesson Nine: Accountability, Conflict, and Life without Cops

This module explores conflict resolution and accountability from an ancestral perspective. Students imagine and practice pathways for community care that do not depend on punitive systems, cultivating justice rooted in kinship and mutual respect.

Lesson Ten: Culture, Ancestors, and the World-Shaped Heart

In lesson ten, participants reflect on how ancestral practices shape culture. Students learn to align their hearts with ancestral wisdom, cultivating what the course calls a “world-shaped heart”—a heart that beats in rhythm with collective healing.

Lesson Eleven: The Life that Was and The Dead that Remain

The final lesson offers closure by reflecting on the lives that were and the ancestors who remain present. Students honor continuity, transformation, and the enduring connections between the living and the dead.
