When the Land Remembers You: Returning to Ancestral Ground

What happens when your feet touch the soil your ancestors left behind — willingly or not?In Part 5 of this intimate conversation, Jane Burns speaks to the soul-recognition that happens when we return to ancestral land, and how the land itself “knows its children.” Lisa shares her own emotional journey tracing her Scottish lineage, and together they explore how healing the wounds of displacement begins within.Jane then offers a powerful invitation: tending your own inner landscape — gently, compassionately, without judgment — doesn’t just heal you. It heals your lineage in both directions.* The land recognizes us even generations later — and often responds with emotion, memory, and guidance.* Returning to ancestral places can feel profoundly visceral, often beyond words.* Inner healing is ancestral healing: the “battle within” is part of restoring wholeness to the lineage.* Your inner landscape is sacred land — tended with the same devotion the ancients gave the earth.* The soul’s inner compass (your personal Lia Fáil) is never wrong and always reveals the next right step.Healing your lineage doesn’t always begin with a pilgrimage — sometimes it starts with the quiet vow to become as whole as you can in this lifetime. As Jane reminds us, every moment of self-honesty, compassion, and inner tending ripples backward and forward through time. The land remembers us — and when we remember ourselves, we bring the lineage home.Visit Jane’s website at journeystothesoul.com.Lisa Bonnice is an award-winning author, podcaster, and former stand-up comic whose work blends humor, heart, and spiritual depth.
