THE BODY IS AN ALTAR: FREE FOUNDATIONAL GUIDE FOR ANCESTRAL & SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

Before building an altar or beginning ancestral work, there is a place to start. The body.

​

This free digital offering is a gentle place to begin your work with DamaSoul. It serves as a grounding orientation to the body as a living altar. It invites you to return to presence, sensation, and care as the foundation of spiritual and ancestral practice.

Rather than offering a system or set of rules, this short guide creates space to slow down and remember how devotion begins in the body.

This offering is especially supportive if you are feeling drawn to ancestral work, altar practices, or ritual and want to begin in a way that feels embodied and grounded.

​

The Body Is an Altar is also the foundational doorway to the upcoming multi-module offering Decolonize Your Altar, where these themes are explored more deeply over time.

​

Inside this free download, you’ll find:

  • A brief teaching on the body as a site of remembrance and devotion

  • A simple box-breath practice to support grounding

  • A gentle reflection using name and body awareness

  • A short mantra to support presence and care

"Indigenous people do not see themselves as separate from their Ancestors. They are the roots,. We are the branches." 

Elder Malidoma Patrice Somé
