Monika, ‘Tree of Life’, Shamanic Workshop – Work with Ancestors, July 2025

I often viewed my ancestors negatively. Even though I realized they lived in completely different times and circumstances, I unfortunately viewed my heritage in terms of what I no longer wanted, what I wanted to change. Yes, that’s true. I desperately wanted to be better, or I told myself that they were them and I was me. It was always easy for me to see what needed improvement. During the workshop, my perception of my ancestors deepened and expanded. Looking at myself, I saw how much I had received, how great the root of my heritage was, and even the fact that I was searching for things to improve was a wonderful asset from my ancestors, thanks to which I develop today. The search for solutions, courage, the immense strength of women, and the joy, pride, and care of men. This was the case in my family.

I am beginning to understand what femininity means – precisely this creation, spiritual discipline, courage, and nurturing – this is what I received, and for this I gave thanks with a deep bow to women. The ancestor whose presence I felt is within me, and I will continue with what I have to do. I am on my way. I accept the efforts and work, and I feel proud of who I am and where I come from. I am so grateful that I could be at this beautiful meeting to discover a broader perception of who I am.

The tree of life is growing 🙂. Thank you Gaya❤️️, Mario🙏, Szymon, Ola, Saszka, Ania, and Magdalena for creating such conditions and the words from the Elders that I so desperately needed ❤️️

How great is the power that lies within us, which we have received from our Ancestors? After the ‘Tree of Life’ workshop, changes are occurring in my daily life. I have made important decisions, subtle ones that I was afraid to make before. In my patterns of action and relationships, I have always sought support from strong women, a role model I followed and from whom I learned life lessons. Now I see that I have stopped looking outside for that strong woman who would show me the way. Now I see her within myself, and I no longer question her externally, but I listen to my inner strong woman, who is bursting with pride, who walks with her head held high, feeling all the gifts she has received. Yes, this PRIDE is powerful because it means I accept where I am, accept my right to be here on Earth, to act and create new branches of the Tree of Life. Thank you ❤️️
