In this episode, Desiree shares about how important ancestral healing is in the decolonization process, especially for folks with European ancestry who identify as or pass as white.  We discuss the ancestral wounding involved in the construct of "whiteness" and how we can return to a culture of sharing from the exploitive, taking nature of white culture.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wombcenteredhealing/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wombcenteredhealing/support
