Ancestral Regeneration offers the individual a pathway to reconnect with their Ancestors in a supportive community.
Based on the framework of RP, Ancestral Regeneration is an engaged process of regenerating a reverent relationship with one’s Ancestors. It supports participants to deepen their discovery of the gifts, the wounds, and the wounding of their lineage.
Together through multi-level inquiry we learn to hold accountability for the past actions of our Ancestors and to heal them in connection with others. In doing so, we grow more capable of engaging in authentic conversations with the world, as we learn to live in right-relationship with our larger family history.
Transgenerational trauma rips us from a sense of deep belonging to the natural world, and each other. Ancestral Regeneration reconnects us.
MEET THE AUTHOR
Dr. Ame Cutler is a transdisciplinary trauma theorist, regenerative strategist, and spiritual practitioner who refuses to separate healing from history—or transformation from accountability. She is the creator of the Regeneration Process and founder of the Transgenerational Regeneration Institute, a community-based platform for dismantling inherited systems of harm and restoring Ancestral, ecological, and relational integrity.
With a PhD in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology, Dr. Cutler’s academic and practical work interrogates the cultural and psychological impacts of colonization, white supremacy, transgenerational trauma, and systemic oppression. Her scholarship is not theoretical—it’s embodied. Born into a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant lineage shaped by overwork, erasure, and inherited privilege, she has spent her life reclaiming what capitalism, Christianity, and settler logic tried to strip away: belonging, integrity, and Ancestral responsibility.
Dr. Cutler specializes in the legacies of harm passed through both survivors and perpetrators. Her work illuminates how the very systems that create trauma—imperialism, extraction, racial capitalism—also dictate the terms of what healing is “allowed” to look like. She challenges the hyper-individualized models of Eurocentric psychotherapy and the depoliticized spiritual bypassing of the wellness industry. Instead, she offers a path grounded in somatic integrity, Ancestral listening, ecological repair, and systemic dismantling.
