New 7-Week Live Video Course Starts
Tuesday, July 30, 2024
 
 
 
 
 

Develop an enduring connection with all of your ancestral mothers to heal and empower you, gathering nurturing support and timeless wisdom for a more fulfilled, enriched, and spiritually connected existence.

Love isn’t about moving on; it’s about returning to each other throughout lifetimes, again and again. 
Perdita Finn
 

Imagine a world where every entity from the trees and rivers to the stars in the sky to the random person you pass on the street was once your mother, and you were once theirs. 

This inherent connectivity was understood and celebrated by our ancient ancestors, yet this knowledge was obscured by the rise of monotheistic religions, severing our ties to our maternal ancestors and the natural world.

Spiritual teacher Perdita Finn, co-founder of The Way of the Rose, reveals that the constructs of civilization have left many of us feeling deprived of the mothering we truly need. Yet, she assures us that we  can now receive the nurturing support we crave, thanks to a team of ancestral mothers who are always ready to guide and support us. 

Perdita has honed her skills through extensive studies with Zen masters, priests, spirit workers, and healers, and by apprenticing with psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she co-authored The Reluctant Psychic

Today, she also leads highly sought-after workshops such as Getting to Know the Dead, empowering people to harness the miracles in their lives through ancestral support and reclaiming their intuitive gifts

With heartfelt guidance, Perdita teaches how to access the eternal love and support of your ancestral connections, paving the way for everyday miracles and profound healing.

Join Perdita for her brand-new 7-week course, where she’ll give you new skills to help you connect to ancient pathways of motherly connection, helping you embrace the dark as well as the light… see the sacred in the mundane… and deeply experience the power of your ancestral maternal bonds.

She’ll reveal how the Earth itself and the legacies of your ancestral mothers can provide deep healing and a sense of profound connection

By reclaiming your ancient maternal connections, you’ll be able to bridge the gap between the living and the ancestral realm, helping you learn to see death not as an end, but as a part of a continuous cycle of rebirth and renewal a sacred dance of life that spans generations.

Rediscovering this connection is transformative, infusing your life with deep love, newfound courage, intuitive wisdom, boundless joy, and the creative energy needed to manifest your desires… and even influence the world around you.

In this context, miracles arise not from the supernatural, but from the natural, everyday magic of feeling deeply interconnected with all of life, embraced by a lineage of mothers whose power transcends time and space.

During the course, Perdita will provide a variety of healing ancestral wisdom, tools, skills, rituals, talismans, and practices you can employ right now to help you release the patriarchal notions of linearity, progress, and human supremacy…

… embracing instead the generative cycles of what she terms the matri-sphere, a play on the word “mattress,” meaning a soft place to land that renews us with both love and dreams, and holds us in a place of safety where we are loved and known and belong.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to transmute feelings of loss and disconnection into an understanding and celebration of life. You’ll establish rituals to honor your ancestral mothers… create sacred spaces for them in your daily life… and learn practices for healing and empowering you, the generations that came before you, and the generations that will come after you.

You’ll also create your own oracle deck featuring ancestral grandmothers to receive guidance whenever you need it and discover how to shift patterns that have kept you stuck. This can free you from cycles that no longer serve you, transform and deepen your relationship with your own mother, and foster healing and understanding.

Ultimately, embracing your ancestral maternal heritage can alchemize feelings of isolation into a profound sense of kinship, turning fear into unwavering empowerment and replacing disconnection with enduring bonds that can enrich every aspect of your life.

 

Transmuting the “Flaws” of Our Ancestors Into Magic for Future Generations

 
 
 
 

During this soul-nourishing course, you’ll:

  • Uncover the lost stories of your ancestral mothers to reconnect with powerful matriarchal wisdom
  • Redefine motherhood beyond traditional gender roles and biological boundaries, expanding your understanding of familial relationships

  • And much more...
 
 

With Perdita’s guidance, you’ll create your own personal pantheon of animate mothers, enriching your spiritual network to summon and reclaim the magic that is your birthright from the Other Side. You’ll even discover how to manifest the specific miracle you need.

You’ll also discover that you’re never alone, and that you’re part of an eternal cycle of nurturing and care in a cosmos teeming with maternal spirits who have been, are, and will always be part of your journey, waiting and ready to support and inspire you…

… helping you tap into a love that transcends time and space and making magic and miracles a part of your everyday experience.

You’ll travel into deep time, uncovering the roots of ecological feminism to reshape your connection with your body and the Earth. You’ll learn to release the patriarchal notions of linearity, progress, and human supremacy, embracing instead the generative cycles of the matri-sphere.

You’ll explore why the desires of our mothers were made dirty and shameful, and how we can recover their power and their magic with the help of our ancestors. By engaging with ancestral knowledge and natural talismans, you’ll learn to harness your innate creativity and reclaim the joys and pleasures that are your birthright.

Confront the harsh realities of violence against women as a foundational element of civilization, linking it directly to the witch-craze, colonization, and slavery. Surrounded by the supportive presences of our animal mothers and ancient grandmothers, we’ll explore the impact of patriarchal oppression on our foremothers.

You’ll gain insights and tools to begin healing the wounds of the past, transforming your personal relationships and reclaiming the dignity and power of the maternal archetype.

You’ll learn to appreciate the generative magic found in the dark, the dirt, and the deceased spaces where life often begins and wisdom resides.

By addressing personal relationships with our own mothers and discovering the communal power of a mothering circle, we’ll gain insights that can enhance and expand our personal growth and interpersonal relationships.

“This course gave voice to many subtle, unspoken feelings I’ve had about working with my ancestors.”

This course gave voice to many subtle, unspoken feelings I’ve had about working with my ancestors. Years ago I had begun collecting names of family and friends that had died and prayed to them for their help, which they did in so many ways. Perdita’s teaching helped to confirm what I’d been doing and broaden this work to include prayers, altar constructions, and opening my heart to believe in myself and my relationship with my ancestors.

“Perdita’s ebullient spirit and experience with the subject of working with the dead was brilliant!”

Where to begin? Perdita’s ebullient spirit and experience with the subject of working with the dead was brilliant! I have much anticipation that I can move forward with my own work with the ancestors and spirits more readily with the new information that I’ve learned from her course.

More Praise for Perdita Finn...

 
“Perdita's course has been a total shift-gift in my life.”

Perdita's course has been a total shift-gift in my life. It has impacted my relationship to everything — the dead, of course, but also my art practice, my relationships, and the way I see and approach my work. It provided a medicinal reframe of my family-of-origin story about why I am the way I am. I feel so softened and expanded by Perdita’s work.

“[Perdita] has found a way to reside comfortably in the world of the living and the dead”

I have never read a book that creates a rapport with the dead with such skill and ease. What becomes clear early on in this wonderful book is that Perdita is a rare woman who has found a way to reside comfortably in the world of the living and the dead. This truly is a must-read book.

“... our best hope for thriving amid the turmoil of the current age.”

What I love about this book is the warm, practical, spirited way Perdita explores the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Hers is a wisdom devoid of preachiness, quickened by curiosity, overflowing with love. Beautifully written, luminous, and earthy. Take Back the Magic makes conversations with the unseen world feel obvious, accessible, and our best hope for thriving amid the turmoil of the current age.

“Perdita shows us how extraordinary all our lives truly are...”

In Take Back the Magic, Perdita creates a portable threshold through which you can access the Otherworld and the long history of your soul. Part memoir, part field guide to the other side, this page-turning book will dilate your awareness of the unseen world and help you recognize the helpful presence of your ancestors in your life. Through her own life stories of astonishing synchronicities, karmic connections, and communication with the dead, Perdita shows us how extraordinary all our lives truly are and how healing is at the root of deep time.

Perdita Finn masterfully weaves a soulful tapestry of stories and reflections that help the reader viscerally appreciate the grand love story we eternally participate in through many different lives, roles, and forms. Perdita holds up a timely and potent soul-mirror to remind us that the magic and mystery of Being is always accessible and available to us in every moment.

About Perdita Finn

Perdita Finn is the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. In addition to extensive study with Zen masters, priests, spirit workers, and healers, she apprenticed with the psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she wrote The Reluctant Psychic.

In her popular workshops on getting to know the dead, participants are empowered to activate the miracles in their own lives with the help of their ancestors and recover their own intuitive magic. Her book Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World is an intimate journey through her recovery of these lost ways.

Perdita speaks widely on how to collaborate with those on the other side, on the urgent necessity of a new romantic animism, and on the sobriety that emerges when we claim the long story of our souls.
