The background is a closeup photo of a very dark green plant leaf. In front at the top center is an image of a Black persons hands held out toward the viewer together as cupping water. The nails are manicured in a pale pink color. Inside the cupped hands is text that reads Ancestral Alchemy over a silvery swish of paint. Below the hands, the leaf image is much lighter in opacity and over it is text that reads It's Time To Come Home To Yourself. To the lower left is a white and brown speckled cowrie shell at an angle with the opening of the shell facing forward.

Many of us live in a present that is simply the repetition of past humiliations, losses, and traumas. 

 

This ancestral residue can leave you: 

  • plagued by self-limiting thoughts and behaviors,
  • breaking yourself apart, squirreling pieces away so that you can fit into the box of the moment
  • feeling disconnected from Spirit and your ancestors.

 

I created Ancestral Alchemy to provide a liberated space in which you can process and repair ancestral ruptures - without guilt or shame. 

 

It’s time to break free from intergenerational trauma, cultivate a rich inner landscape and be in relationship with Spirit and your ancestors as sources of protection, healing and guidance

 

That's why I invite you to join us on this journey to racial healing and ancestral restoration.

 

 

I am ready for my Ancestral Divination!
There is an image of an altar with a nude black woman carving holding a basket above her head with one arm in the center. Behind the figurine is to the left is a wide red candle with a lit wick. Behind that candle is a branch with green leaves. In front of the carving is a dark colored bowl with incense burning, and a pile of small cowrie shells in front of it. There is a large white spotted cowrie shell in front to the left, a cone shaped glass behind it filled with seeds. On the right of the statue is a squared glass of water, with a woven African woven basket with a conical top in front of it and an orange carnelian stone to the right.

 

What is Ancestral Alchemy?

 

Ancestral Alchemy is Cowrie Shell Divination! 

 

It is a journey through a sacred portal for divine conversation between you, your ancestors and Spirit

 

The experience is guided by the ancient technology of Dagara divination, which is brought forth to meet the contemporary challenges of your day-to-day life.

 

The ancestral messages that come through divination tend to be thick, and our lives are so full, that we offer the option to pair the divination with additional support (details below) to help you integrate the messages and fully reap the benefits of deep ancestral connection.

Behind her is bright green shrubbery.

"The divination with Dr G helped me remember why I am here." 

"I came for divination after I had done all my practices and I wasn’t getting results.  I could tell that there was something else going on and I needed  to tap deeply into the other realm.  I chose to work with Dr G because she is empathically gifted and holds you with genuine care and tenderness.  The patterns and symbols in the divination helped me visualize the patterns in my life.  The divination with Dr G helped me remember why I am here."

 

Yes, please.

"Dr G is the Real Deal!”

"I consider myself to be equal parts logical and  spiritual.  You’d think that one would be counterproductive and counterintuitive to the other, but they aren’t, particularly in a reading from Dr. Giavanni Washington.  Dr. G’s concise explanation, and detailed practical advice gave me a sense of spiritual clarity, and intellectual understanding.  Her concern for your well being is genuine and comforting.  This field of “spiritual counseling” can sometimes give off snake oil, Ms Cleo vibes.  This is NOT the case with Dr G.  She sincerely cares, and translates her training and gift through this medium.  She is the real deal."
