Each of us holds tremendous power to change not only the trajectory of our own life — but the collective experience of our larger world, even during these times of uncertainty.
Once you understand your own trauma history and the challenging historical patterns your ancestors engendered, you begin a journey that releases enormous healing potential that can benefit you and many others.
Untying trauma knots in your personal and ancestral history sets you free — and energizes you to become more powerful and compassionate as you create a future aligned with your soul’s purpose.
Join Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone on a new 9-module journey into the healing of your ancestral legacies — and discover untapped spiritual resources as you dismantle personal and intergenerational trauma patterns, so you and your lineage can reach your fullest, most radiant expression.
Tirzah will lead you through guided meditations, embodied exercises, and small-group conversations to support the ancestral healing work you’ll do together.
This transformative new course also includes two sacred ritual practicum sessions to take you deeper into ceremonial ancestral healing work.
You’ll delve into a rich synthesis of teachings from the fields of depth psychology, neuroscience, and Kabbalistic and mystic wisdom — and benefit from Tirzah’s wisdom as a Jungian psychotherapist and spiritual elder.
As you’ll discover, each of us comes into this world with specific tasks — sacred repair work that’s deeply connected to the wounds and challenges that have befallen us and our bloodlines.
When you explore and heal these wounds, you can better accomplish your sacred work — honoring your soul’s calling, deciphering your soul’s unique code, and becoming all that you’re meant to be.
And once you’re equipped with the wisdom of your ancestors, spiritual guides, and allies, you’ll be able to see your life from an expanded perspective — complete with the hope, courage, resilience, and compassion you need to better navigate your life and bring healing to our world.
In this 9-module transformational intensive, Tirzah will guide you to deepen your understanding of your ancestral trauma legacies — to gain clarity, courage, compassion, and access to your authentic Self.
This 9-module course is for anyone seeking an experiential understanding of their trauma legacies and how to transform them.
Community leaders, teachers, therapists, spiritual practitioners, and other professionals can augment their work by bringing these intergenerational healing modalities into their clinical and organizational practices.
This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Tirzah. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to deepen your ancestral healing.
How can you become better aligned with your soul’s sacred purpose?
In this opening session, Tirzah will set the foundation for your journey together. She’ll open with a welcome to your new global community, an invocation, and an overview of the course.
She’ll share the many reasons why ancestral healing is so critical now — to your own wellbeing and the planet’s.
And she’ll guide you to begin thinking through powerful inquiries — including how your soul’s journey corresponds to the unfolding global events, how your family’s unhealed legacies are obscuring your path (and what you can do about it), and much more.
In this session, you’ll explore:
What are the residues that trauma leaves behind, and how do they get passed on to new generations — affecting entire ethnicities and collective society?
You’ll explore how to wake up to these unconscious influences and find freedom, compassion, and healing power for yourself and the world.
Tirzah will guide you to think through your trauma history as a continuance of ancestral patterns... and show you how you can stop what she calls the trauma train.
We all came into this world to help effect changes and innovations in the collective consciousness of the planet. As you’ll discover, knowledge is power — and bringing unconscious patterns into the light of awareness and compassion can liberate your life.
In this module, you’ll discover:
How do your personal anxieties, fears, and life issues have roots in your family’s history?
In this module, you’ll explore Jung’s concept of the shadow — the unacceptable, repressed, or unwelcome aspects of our lives.
You’ll also deepen your exploration of the intergenerational shadow with a paradoxical approach called Chöd — the 11th century Tibetan Buddhist practice of Feeding Your Demon — applied to our ancestral legacies, pathologies, and complexes.
Tirzah will ask you to bring one particular life issue you’re working on to class with you — perhaps it’s addiction, OCD, sexual abuse/patriarchal domination, depression, etc...
Whatever the details of your struggle, Tirzah will create a caring, safe space for this practice.
She’ll then guide you to create a personification of your life issue. You’ll enter active imagination to walk the “creature” back into your lineages as you discover more about its gravitational pulls. In this powerful session, you’ll discover:
In this practicum, you’ll create a sacred space to deepen the healing ritual of the ancient Tibetan Chöd Practice.
Within the loving, safe space Tirzah creates for you, you’ll face your ancestral demon, invoking its personification once again and communicating with it to discover what it wants and needs from you.
Then you’ll learn how to feed it the nectar of your essence, allowing it to magically transform its shape and become your protector and ally.
Did you know that your biggest enemies hold untapped sources of support and protection?
You’ll continue with the transformational process of alchemizing your ancestral demon, gaining further access to its deep reservoir of life force — and listening for its commitments to you as it becomes your ally and assistant.
Together, you’ll work to free up blocked energy and health, receiving renewed power as you realize personal and family goals.
As you’ll discover, the demon will continue resolving itself through satiation.
In this module, you’ll:
What do your ancestors know about shame and honor? And how can you step beyond their history into your full radiant dignity?
You’ll examine your own history of shame and honor — and receive sanction and blessing from your ancestors and allies.
Tirzah will guide you to stand in your own dignity to become an agent of change and blessing for the world.
In this module, you’ll explore:
In this practicum, you’ll once again create a sacred ritual space.
You’ll begin with several practices to strengthen your grounding to the Earth while opening up energetic portals to a larger version of yourself that’s strengthened by honor for your essential being.
Tirzah will guide you in the practice of extending Kavod (honor and dignity), first to your bloodlines, then to your compatriots, and then to troublesome characters in your life.
You’ll then begin to receive the Kabbalistic practice of becoming an Agent of Blessing, Ba’al HaBracha. This begins with learning to open your central channel, called the Middle Pillar in Kabbalah, to receive divine blessing into your own being. With an open fluid channel, you’ll allow the overflow of this energy, transmitting this power to three beings.
You’ll watch the effects of this powerful transmission, before safely coming back from expanded awareness to your here-and-now self — grounded and ready to take this practice into the world.
You’ll ask yourself, How can I become an agent of change and transformation in the world?
In this pivotal session, you’ll discover how to take all you’ve been learning and stand in your family and in the world as an agent of true change and transformation.
As Tirzah will show you, you can enrich your life and rise to your own greatness by tapping into the spiritual resources and resilience of the great souls who’ve walked this Earth before you.
You’ll turn toward your ancestors to bless and release them from their socially constrained and conditioned contexts... and come to see yourself as much larger and greater than your life’s patterns — because your soul’s light is actually your destiny.
You’ll discover practices to:
In this closing session, Tirzah will guide you to ask yourself, How can I keep my channels to the unseen worlds open and clear, to keep receiving divine guidance and protection as I go forth?
Ancient myths and legends provide plenty of guidance for this moment in history...
And as you bring your journey to a close, Tirzah will share how rituals and sacred space, which are so essential right now, can provide a bridge to the divine worlds.
In this final module, you’ll explore:
This intensive builds upon the core teachings from the Find Healing & Resilience in Ancestral Wisdom 7-module course. When you purchase the full 9-module intensive, you get access to this powerful resource as well! You can complete this material at your leisure, but it’s better to begin before the new sessions start.
In this 7-module transformational course, Tirzah skillfully guides you through a unique and original blend of depth psychology, meditative practices, somatic healing modalities, storytelling, and scientific research — to help you free yourself of the inherited trauma of your lineage so you can hear the calling of your sacred purpose and bring healing to our planet. In seven sessions, you’ll learn to call on your ancestors to help you clear anxiety, depression, and stuckness passed down through generations — for greater resilience and the freedom to live your soul’s purpose.
Each training session builds harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to start to heal your inherited trauma and live your soul’s calling.

Mystics and prophets have long taught that to approach the Divine, we must move through Holy Darkness.

Explore how this archetypal power is emerging now to guide us through this global night and transfigure us into who we must become to birth a more beautiful world.
This video training will guide you through the process of creating three different kinds of altars: an outdoor altar, an ancestral altar, and a stationary altar, at which to deepen your spiritual practices through this course. If you desire further protection and spiritual reinforcement, Tirzah also shares instructions for donning a prayer shawl.
This course is a mixture of fascinating intellectual information, practical exercises, and connecting stories of others’ experience… There have been confirmations of what I already know, but whole areas that are new to me. If you feel drawn to this course, it is very likely that the ancestors are wanting to work alongside you. I now have a sense of well ancestors and those in my soul-pod who are supporting me, rather than writing off all my family as dysfunctional and potentially dangerous. It has given me a sense of agency in terms of my ability to heal the past, which I have done a little before, and my gratitude for those who are urging me on in my soul path. I have so appreciated Tirzah’s approach; I love her vocabulary, her compassion, her vulnerability, and her wisdom.
— Zoe Grace Cozens, Vienne, France
Connecting with my ancestors and understanding their Earthwalk has been incredibly healing. This course was rich with information, practice, and support. I highly recommend this course if you have an interest in ancestral work.
— Jo Agosto Victor, New York
This is the first course I have taken through the Shift and I have been so enlightened through it — it is exactly what I was looking for in my life. The knowledge and practices helped me so deeply. Tirzah Firestone’s knowledge and ability to communicate it made this course very valuable. Her encouragement and experience allowed me to have shifts that I wouldn’t have been able to have if I had tried this subject matter on my own. I’m very grateful for it, and the format was wonderful.
— Sarah, Utah
I came away with full appreciation of what our ancestors went through and the work we still have to do. It is indeed very purposeful and joyful.
— Donna
This course brought me insight into my family history and how it has affected me. It has opened a door to understanding and building a new, deeper relationship with my mother, who died when I was in my twenties. I have been looking for this in therapy for years. I can’t recommend this course highly enough!
— Penny White, Los Angeles
I’ve been given the ability to deeply connect to my own soul’s myth through this ancestral wisdom work. It not only put me into contact with well and wise ancestors from my direct, personal bloodlines, it took me far back into the ancient ways of life within the magical, mythical times when humans still lived in harmony with nature.
— Ellen Maria, Mexico
The course as a whole helped me understand who I am and how my ancestor’s stories have informed how I react and have lived my life for the past 70 years. It also opened the doors of communication with relatives I have had very little contact with and helped me express my love for them. It also opened up a new space in my meditation practice. Rabbi Tirzah is a very kind and gentle soul and provided a safe space for expressing one’s feelings and learning.
— D’vorah Epstein McDonald, Burbank, California
There were many subtle benefits that I will take away from this course, but the primary takeaway for me is the reminder that there is much that we can do for the world by the work that we do on ourselves — with the hope that in doing so, we can be part of the healing of the planet. Mother Earth needs us, and all of us who walk upon her will benefit from our healing journeys.
— Dennice, British Columbia Canada
I have already been communicating with my loved ones and my husband for 25 years, but the course connected me kinesthetically with my ancestors’ traumas. Releasing them helped me improve current physical problems in my life.
— Carol Gottesman, Hubbard, Ohio

She deftly lifts the complex history of modern Judaism to the light, offering an opportunity for particular reconciliation and universal healing.
— Mirabai Starr, Author of God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity & Islam and Caravan of No Despair: A Memoir of Loss & Transformation
Rabbi and psychotherapist Tirzah Firestone... offers us the wisdom of a compassionate therapist whose understanding is broad and deep. But she also offers us the spiritual perspective of a rabbi who has found her way to the deeper currents of Jewish understanding... [Wounds Into Wisdom] is powerful in itself but it is also empowering — we can feel how the author has herself lived through trauma, and has even found her way to become a great healer and teacher. I believe [the book] would be of profound help to anyone seeking to navigate the path to healing from trauma — which I believe in some ways, is all of us.
— Rodger Kamenetz, Author of The History of Last Night’s Dream and The Jew in the Lotus

If tragedy haunts your life or the lives of those you love, read this book; it has the potential to change everything.
— Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Author of Minyan and Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent
