You have a set of healing tools that you can use for life!
At some point in all lineages, a soul will be born that decides to bring healing to their ancestors. If you are here, this beautiful soul is you... and it is time.
MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi! I’m Torie Feldman.
I’m an Ancestral Healing Guide living on the unceded indigenous land of the Tongva and Chumash, also known as Topanga, California. My ancestors are Jewish, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, German, and Ukrainian.
I’m the founder of Sacred Ancestry, a worldwide movement of ancestral healing, connection, and remembrance — and I’m so glad you’re here.
I know how it feels to be disconnected from my ancestors and the true spirituality within my lineage. I know how it feels to look at your lineage and feel disgust or disconnect from it — like there’s so much baggage, there’s so much to heal, and it can be overwhelming to know where to start.
Even though I grew up Jewish and went to Hebrew school for 5 years, I wasn’t raised to understand the deep wisdom and spirituality that lived in my lineage. I felt that I had inherited a culture of “whiteness,” fast food, fast cars, celebrities, and a religion I didn’t resonate with.
A part of me longed for true spiritual lineage and connection to the earth-honoring ways which were modeled so powerfully by indigenous cultures all over the world. I grew increasingly passionate as I studied these cultures through travels and a degree in Cultural Anthropology, and devoted myself to supporting indigenous cultures in passing down their elder’s wisdom, traditions, and ancestral ways.
After volunteering on cultural revitalization projects for a year on a reservation, I had an ancestral awakening. I realized that I was a white girl, disconnected from my own ancestors’ wisdom, and trying to help the elders in another culture pass down their knowledge to future generations.
I saw that I was coming from my own deep wound of separation from my ancestors. I felt the pain, grief, disconnection, anger, and loneliness of the separation from my ancestors and their wisdom. So, my own journey of true ancestral connection and healing began.
I began interviewing my elders and recording their stories. I built out family trees, piecing together what we still had left after the Holocaust. I dove into the practices of my own lineage and explored my own intuitive ceremonies to connect with my wise and well ancestors for healing.
It would be my highest honor to invite you into my home for this journey of ancestral healing and connection.
With heart,
Torie
Connect to your ancestors through the power of ritual, community, and healing practices.

Nope — come as you are. If you have done research, wonderful — and totally okay if not, too.
+ Can I connect with my ancestors if I don't know their names?
YES — even if you don’t know who your ancestors were, you can absolutely connect with them! In fact, a foundational piece of ancestral healing is to connect to your ANCIENT Healed Ancestors who lived thousands of years ago, and whose names have been forgotten by history. That is what this Immersion guides you to do. We would be honored to have you!
