Rooted in Lineage
An ancestral healing journey
A six-week live immersion, beginning on Tuesday 10 November.
Come into relationship with the ones who came before you, heal what has been passed down, and receive what your lineage holds for you.
Early bird until 1 November
You’ve done the inner work, maybe for years, and you understand why things are the way they are, yet something at the root still hasn’t shifted.
Maybe there’s a pattern that keeps repeating in your family, a grief that is older than you, or a pull toward the ones who came before you without knowing how to connect with them properly.
Maybe you already feel them close, or you’ve reached out before and weren’t sure what you were opening yourself up to.
Understanding why only gets you so far. At some point you have to stop trying to figure it all out and let spirit do its part, and for that you need a safe and well-held container, and someone to witness you.
The journey
Rooted in Lineage is a six-week ancestral healing journey that we walk together, live and in a small circle.
We begin by creating a ritual space and boundaries with spirit, then choose one lineage to work with and connect with guides who are well in spirit. From there we go to the root — the gifts and the burdens your bones carry, the repair that has been waiting, and the blessing that is yours to receive.
This isn’t about learning about your ancestors, it’s about being in relationship with them.
By the end, you feel more rooted. You have a sense of being held by the ones who came before you, the patterns that have run through your family begin to loosen, and you no longer have to carry everything on your own.

About me
I was born and raised in Germany, and my ancestry is mostly Germanic, with some Celtic. Aotearoa New Zealand has been my home for nearly a decade.
For over twenty years I’ve been immersed in my own healing and in learning from many bodies of work, from somatic therapy and equine-assisted learning to Rongoā Māori and Mahi Wairua here in Aotearoa. I’ve spent years living and learning in South America, the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and for the past five years I’ve been working as an ancestral lineage healing practitioner, trained by Dr. Daniel Foor of Ancestral Medicine. What I share in this circle is rooted in his teachings and shaped by everything I’ve lived and learned since, so it is very much my own way of walking this path.
This work found me through my own healing. I’ve walked through darkness, and what carried me through wasn’t a method, it was being truly witnessed and allowing myself to be held by the ones who came before me, and by spirit.
Today, working with my ancestors has become something of a default for me. From my health to the work I do in the world, their presence and guidance increasingly inform the way I live, make decisions and understand myself.
I believe we live in a culture that has lost its elders and the rites of passage that once held us through life’s thresholds, and with them much of our relationship with spirit and with the dead. So many of us are left to carry life, and everything we’ve inherited, on our own, when it was always meant to be held in community. The ancestral work I practise is one of the ways back.
Words from clients
Zara is a deep and careful listener and observer. I have never met anybody who can hold grief like she does. I have sat in front of wonderful teachers, mentors and practitioners in different areas and all of them would reach out for tissues to give to me while crying or grieving, which is gentle and nice. But when Zara is holding your space, she herself is the tissue. She will look you and all that you are in the eye and she doesn’t stop, she doesn’t take a step back.
JANIN, film director, Germany
Zara maintains an incredibly powerful and beautiful healing space. She is connected not only to the protective forces of the land she now lives in, the powerful and pristine nature of Aotearoa New Zealand, but also to the healing and wise ancestors.
KRISTIN, medical doctor, Germany
Zara holds a very contained and simple space that has felt completely safe for me to journey. The sessions have guided me to consciously connect with loving and wise ancestors and protective energies that are always with me and learn to call on them in moments of doubt, fear or when I long for connection.
HANNAH, New Zealand
Working with Zara on the exploration of my ancestral lineages has been an exciting and deep adventure in discovery and re-acquaintance with something long lost and yet intimately familiar. Having her as a helper and a guide, I know I can trust that I’m in good hands to step into the unknown and the forgotten treasure that is nevertheless our birthright.

Questions
Still have a question? Write to me at zara.taulelei@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you.
-
No, you only need an open mind and willingness. And if you already work with your ancestors, great, this will deepen your relationship with them.
-
No, this work is open to people of any background. You only need to be willing to consider that the relationship with our ancestors continues after death.
-
You don’t need names, family trees or a DNA test. Everything this work needs is already in you.
-
Yes, absolutely. We begin with boundaries and with the ancestors who are well in spirit, and they guide the repair work.
-
No. We only work directly with ancestors who are well in spirit, and they tend to the ones who are still troubled.
-
No. This is spiritual work rather than therapy, and it can sit well alongside any support you already have.
-
No, every call is recorded and you’ll have lifetime access to the recordings. Joining live does bring something extra, though: just like an in-person class, there’s a transmission that happens in real time that deepens and amplifies the work.
-
Yes, join live when you can and work with the recordings when you can’t.
If you can feel your ancestors calling you, and you’re ready to listen, I would love to have you with us.
We begin on Tuesday 10 November.
