Somatic Explorations of the Ancestral Body

Saturday Workshop, October 18th, 2025

1:00 – 4:00 pm

The narratives within which we experience the notion of the body are neither final, nor complete. The ways in which we experience the body can be deeply transformed if we know how to delve into the past of our lineages. In order to do that we need three things: first, the proper knowledge for looking for the right and crucial information; second, a respectful and honoring attitude that knows how to integrate the pain, the suffering and the darkness of those who lived before us; and third, enough awareness of one’s bodily experience in order to ground and deepen an embodied consciousness of events from the past that keep resonating in the present in the form of illness, symptoms, disease, accidents, or even everyday ways of living the individual physical body.

Eugenio Ordóñez, Ph.D., is a therapist, teacher, lecturer, and ritual specialist. As a therapist he has facilitated Family Constellations workshops for the past 15 years, integrating the trauma-informed practice of Somatic Experiencing and the Jungian view of the soul together with Hellinger’s phenomenological practices for attending to the present, the body, and all relations. For the past 14 years he has also been involved with the spiritual wisdom of Kabbalah, and teaches an ongoing course on Wellness for the Body and Soul. He also guides retreats immersed in nature following Malidoma Some’s teachings on ancestry and indigenous African spiritual technologies from which he and his working partner developed Medicine-Community©, a methodology for attending to the body, family systems and soul’s purpose. He holds a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and has a published book called Ancestry: The Deep Field of Reality.
