This course will used a de-colonized approach at creating safety and routine through our epigentic joy and ancestral wisdom. This course serves to help clinicians introduce techniques to tone our nervous system through cultural practices and rituals that may be calling to a client through Epigenetics.

2.Participants will increase their knowledge of epigenetic evolution and ways to use family history as a reference point for resiliency.
3. Participants will be able to identify legacy burdens and support ancestral healing as a tool for client wellness.
4.Participants will gain knowledge in how to help their clients create a safety in their lives by creating personalized altars and wellness rituals rooted in their ancestral knowledge and history.
