Here's Beth.

I think that this is a really difficult question and complex and also partly because I'm learning this and I am a new student, but I can talk about what I believe it is and really what my experience has been.
22:47
It's also really unique to each of us and so I encourage people if they're interested to seek it out on their own because really I think it's important that whatever we do when we are thinking about ancestral healing or healing in general is that it feels aligned for us and that it resonates with us.
23:06
So no one can really tell you what it is.
23:08
I think we have to feel into it, what it is and feel that alignment.
23:14
But for me, I think about it as the healing that's done through connection and building relationships to our ancestors, learning about them and their practices and beliefs, like our connection and relationship to the land, and also the healing that occurs on an individual, ancestral, and collective level.
23:34
So for me, this has looked like learning about my ancestors, who they were, what their experience was, what their practices and beliefs were, our origin stories.

Can you share with us what was it like when you moved to Korea as a 30-something?
