Ancestors
“I’m not going to die, I’m going home like a shooting star.” —Sojourner Truth
“I want to connect more with my ancestors but I don’t know how.”
Welcome to the transformative journey of Ancestral Connection coaching with me, Evvie Lionheart. Do you yearn to deepen your connection with your ancestors but find yourself feeling unsure where to begin? You're not alone. Many peers and comrades have shared similar sentiments, seeking guidance on how to navigate this sacred path.
Drawing from my own powerful experiences, I invite you to embark on an adventure of reconnecting with your genetic and plant ancestors, lineage-builders, and spirit guides. Together, we'll explore a variety of practices, including meditation, genealogical research, altar building, intuitive readings, ritual creation, and more.
For people of the African diaspora, the journey of Ancestral Connection holds particular significance. Through our work together, we'll honor, re-member, and reclaim the spiritual traditions that were lost to us or fragmented due to the transatlantic slave trade and colonial violence. We'll also address the wounds inflicted by forced proselytization and religious trauma experienced uniquely within colonial religions that were forced on our people to condition them to submit to oppression during enslavement.
By re-cultivating and re-awakening these ancestral relationships, you can access a wellspring of healing resources and resilience that spans generations. Through the wisdom of our ancestors, we find the strength to heal intergenerational wounds and reclaim our cultural heritage.
If you've struggled with feelings of disconnection, longing to reclaim what was lost, or grappling with the legacy of colonial violence and religious trauma, Ancestral Connection coaching with me offers a path forward. Together, we'll embark on a journey of healing and transformation, guided by the wisdom of our human and non-human ancestors.
Are you ready to reconnect with your roots and unlock the power of ancestral healing? Schedule a discovery call with me today, and let's begin this sacred journey together. Your ancestors are waiting to welcome you home.

Envision a sacred space steeped in reverence and tradition. This is Evvie’s inaugural ancestral altar, meticulously assembled for a seven-day ancestral ritual in 2017. The altar is draped in a tapestry of multicolored scarves, each hue whispering stories of heritage and continuity. At its center, a solitary white candle burns steadily, a luminous tribute to the past. Beside it, a clear bowl of water reflects the candle’s glow, symbolizing purity and the flow of life. Scattered delicately across this vibrant tableau are small papers bearing the honored names of Evvie’s genetic ancestors, their legacies interwoven with bundles of aromatic sage, an array of healing crystals, bowls brimming with sweets to delight the spirits, and the tranquil smoke of burning incense, carrying prayers and memories aloft. This altar is not just a visual spectacle; it is a bridge to history, a testament to Evvie’s deep connection with the roots that ground and nourish their spirit.
Before you is a serene tableau set upon a grey table, Evvie's recent Winter Solstice Altar. Orange tarot cards are fanned out across the front, inviting curiosity and mystique. Three white candles stand tall, their flames a silent dance of light. On the right, a white poinsettia adds a touch of elegance, while its red counterpart on the left brings a vibrant contrast. Amidst this arrangement lies a bowl with fresh orange, bay leaves, and tea, next to which rests a bottle of Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water, its contents promising refreshment. A solitary $50 bill lies casually under a glass of rich, red wine, suggesting a moment of indulgence. At the heart of the table, precious stones—aqua turquoise, shadowy smoky quartz, and deep blue lapis lazuli—nestle around candles beside a lucky bamboo plant, their colors a harmonious blend with nature’s own palette.
