Daniel Foor, PhD, is a ritualist and educator focused on helping others to reclaim their innate capacity to relate with their ancestors and with the greater web of other-than-human kin. He is the author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing and an internationally respected teacher of ancestor reverence and ritual who guides online courses, in-person intensives, and a practitioner training through the Ancestral Medicine organization.
Daniel is the child of early settler colonialists to North America from England and Germany, and he is deeply committed to historical honesty, reckoning with unpaid ancestral debts, and cultural healing with respect to race, class, gender, American imperialism, and other ways in which the Earth longs for better from the human folk.
Daniel’s training draws from mentorship in different lineages of ritual arts: his work as doctor of psychology and student of history; his clinical experience as a marriage and family therapist; the lessons of marriage, family, and parenting; his time as a student of language and culture in the Czech Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, and Spain; and 25 years of living earth and ancestor reverence in his personal life.
