I know you’re feeling the weight of these times…me too…

Beloved Friend,

The world feels unrecognizable, doesn’t it?

It’s surreal.

Like you, I am grappling with the reality of a convicted felon/predator on every level leading our country-for the second time, which is already feeling like an even worse nightmare than before.

Anxiety about the future, the grief, and the sense of fragmentation can truly feel like too much to bear.

And yet we must.

For we have been prepared for leadership-whether through being a healer, activist, artist, writer or any other anything that supports and honors our humanity and our love of the beloved earth and all of her children-human and non-human.

You know there is more to this moment than meets the eye and we are being called to do something about it.

But what?

What if the answer isn’t about "moving to the light"—but about alchemizing the vast darkness we’ve been presented with?

What if, instead of fighting these dark times, we can each uncover, ever more deeply our medicine that lives within it?

This is the essence of my most recent ideation of my work, Deep Time Ancestral Medicine.

It’s about uncovering, not escaping, the darkness and alchemizing it into most potent medicine for these times that we hoped and prayed we’d never see.

And that medicine...

It's waiting for you to uncover it through your story, your ancestors, and your ongoing healing journey.

Your Ancestors love you more than you have been conditioned to ever know. Please join me for this journey.

Inanna Hanging on a Meat Hook in Hell…

In 2024, I experienced the worst year of my life. It began for me in 2023, when my mother died and the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians began to escalate. (A very complex situation for me as I am an Anti-Zionist Jew.)

Near the end of the same year, I lost my soulmate when he asked for a divorce while I was in the middle of a health crisis.

I shut down my business for nine long months, unsure if I could ever rebuild it along with a new life. My astrologer called it my "Inanna Hanging on a Meat Hook in Hell" year—and honestly, there were moments when I didn’t think I’d survive it.

But I did. I emerged from the darkness with rock hard gratitude, newly revealed Ancestral medicine, and a deep understanding of how to navigate unthinkable times, like the one we’re in.

That’s what I want to share with you in this class: the medicine I found, the transformation I went through, and how you, too, can alchemize your own individual and collective dark times into the fuel for your own healing, writing, and purpose. Your voice and strength are desperately needed in this time, when so many are already succumbing to a sense of helplessness. This is by design of course-the intentional overwhelm by the so called “leadership” that is meant to send us into despair and complicity.

But this is not your role. You are here to rise from the ashes once again. And again.

Yes, I know that it’s too much to ask.

Nevertheless, we have been asked.

Called.

To stand in our love, our compassion, our strength, our justice, our art. Even now. Especially now.

What is Deep Time Ancestral Medicine?

Deep Time Ancestral Medicine is an alchemical ancestral practice designed to help you find your own deepest medicine for these tumultuous times.

In this 90-minute class, we will call forth practices to guide you back to the most recent manifestation of your soul's purpose.

I’ve spoken to many, many healers, mystics, writers, empaths, and artists of all kinds-who feel their medicine, their want of delivering their gifts is changing-deepening. This all makes sense when we think about what we’re facing, not only in the US, but globally.

This work isn’t about denying or avoiding any aspect of life. It’s about stepping into the shadows with compassion and power, leaning into. the pain and seeking guidance from your Ancestors, to help you transmute it into brightness that can lead your way.

What is Deep Time/ Apocalypse Medicine?

Writing with the Ancestors: Reconnect with the bones, blood, and land that brought you here. The wisdom of your ancestors is alive and waiting to speak through you. This is a writing practice that honors your lineage and taps into ancestral wisdom that is essential for your healing.

Family Constellations: (Hellinger/Zulu work) Explore generational trauma and gifts through constellation work. I will share group practices to help you align with the evolution of your unique medicine and purpose that you are called to offer in this moment.

Deep Time Storytelling: Harness the power of narrative to find the words that are waiting to be written. Engage in a writing practice to explore your narrative arc—the story that only you can tell.

Why Now?

We are in a moment of collective crisis—politically, spiritually, and emotionally. .

I have found that through embracing the challenges, the heartbreak, and the trauma, we can unlock the deepest wisdom that’s been waiting for us all along. You are being called to do this work. Your soul has been whispering to you, urging you to write, to heal, and to share. And now is the time to step into that power.

In This Potent 90-minute class, you will:

Reconnect with your Ancestors: Experience guided writing exercises that honor the bones, blood, and land of your lineage. Your ancestors have wisdom for you—are you ready to receive it?

Engage in Family Constellations: Open to heal intergenerational trauma as well as aligning with your soul’s purpose and get clearer on your medicine for this time.

Explore Deep Time Storytelling: Use a 15-minute writing exercise to find the narrative that only you can tell—the story of your soul, your healing, and your unique contribution to this world.

Connect with a community of like-minded souls. Join others who are also navigating these turbulent times and are ready to share their stories and healing with the world.

Who Should Attend?

This class is for humans who are:

Feeling the weight of the world and know that they are meant to do something meaningful in response, connected to Ancestral wisdom.

Healers, artists, writers, therapists, psychologists, empaths—those who want to understand how to turn their deep pain into their deepest wisdom.

Ready to write: You’ve felt the pull to write a book or share your story, but you’re not sure how or where to start. This class will help you begin or reignite that journey.

Ready for deep healing: You know that this moment is calling you to confront your own wounds, heal intergenerational trauma, and claim your unique medicine.

Kind words about Tanya’s Ancestral Work:

I had never heard of constellation work, but I had worked with Tanya before (on writing my book) and trusted her. I had a profound experience during our ninety-minute session. When I reached out to Tanya, I told her I wanted to work on fear. I’ve carried a lot of fear in my body since childhood, particularly because my ancestry comes from a persecuted group. The fear I walk around with doesn’t match my daily life, which is filled with love and beauty. I wanted to address a significant disconnect between my inner and outer world.

During the session, Tanya guided me through a process where I connected with ancestors who were both specific and general. With each ‘star’ we visited in the constellation, I had somatic sensations—some contracting, some expanding. I felt intense emotions, both pleasant and unpleasant, as we moved through six nodes in the constellation. Clearly, something was shifting.

At the end of the session, when Tanya explained who each of the nodes represented, I felt dramatic relief, especially regarding my immediate family. It also gave me valuable insight into core beliefs I held about my family system. Tanya is a gifted facilitator in both Ancestral Constellation work and writing. I highly recommend her.

Writer and Sculptor

Working with Tanya in the Family Constellation session was truly transformative. The session helped me uncover profound insights, like the surprising image of a ‘wall’ representing my drive—something I never would have imagined. Tanya’s unique approach, using rocks to symbolize forces in my life, created a powerful and deeply healing experience. I left feeling a renewed sense of clarity and inner safety that continues to guide me.

I especially appreciated the support and connection that emerged, particularly with the well ancestor who stood behind me, offering a deep sense of guidance. The experience opened up new internal space to explore my drive and limitations in ways I never thought possible. I highly recommend Tanya’s constellation work to anyone seeking insight, healing, and a deeper connection to their own story.

I’m so grateful for my experience with Family Ancestral Constellations. From the start, I felt deeply aligned with the process and trusted Tanya completely as a facilitator (she helped me write my memoir), which made the journey both safe and exciting.

Before the session, I was dealing with heavy family matters during a stressful time. After the session, I felt a calm, quiet peace settling in. It was incredibly healing to connect with my ancestors in such a personal and vivid way. The moment I realized I’m supported by a long line of family, it felt like my family tree reached out and gave me a hug. 🌱💗

Since then, I’ve noticed a shift—I’m calmer, more grounded, and more open to receiving love and kindness from everywhere. I no longer feel alone in my journey.

I highly recommend this service to anyone seeking deep healing. Tanya’s facilitation is so supportive, creating space for new insights about ourselves and our ancestral connections. Thank you, Tanya, for guiding me with such care and presence. I’m deeply grateful.

It is a rare experience for me to find a collaborator such as Tanya to do my deep work. She has an incredible capacity for insight and the ability to hold space for what is, meeting me exactly where I am.

My first constellation session was clear, efficient, and abundant—giving me food for thought that continues to reveal itself. In this crazy world, wondering how one can contribute, working with Tanya in this way feels like its own necessary and important form of activism—for both of us.

— Sarah Kerstin Gross

Caterer, Writer, Mystic

Working with Tanya Taylor Rubinstein on ancestral constellation was truly transformative. I’ve done ancestral healing for years, mostly focusing on ancient, healed ancestors, but Tanya’s approach focused on the recent ancestors—those still carrying unresolved trauma.

During our blind constellation, the focus turned to my father and paternal grandfather, a man I knew little about. Through the process, I gained deep insight into how my father’s relationship with his own father mirrored the struggles I had with him. I also developed a new empathy for my grandfather’s wounds—his anger and criticism of his children—and saw how that energy had been passed down.

Most powerfully, I began to recognize gifts from my father I had overlooked before. This work is helping me heal and shift how I move through the world. If you’re ready to heal generational wounds and rewrite family narratives, I highly recommend Tanya’s work. It’s a powerful way to shift old patterns and gain a deeper understanding of your family’s story.

Tanya holds impeccable space that is steeped in the sacred—specifically connected to and deeply held by the wisdom of the land and the helpful ancestors who have come before us.

Working with her gave me insight into a pattern I had been operating from since childhood. Once identified, I could feel my system being ‘unburdened’ by the weight I had been carrying.

A subtle release has been occurring since our session, and I feel I now have much greater access to my inner wisdom and higher self. I’ve also been able to set important boundaries with people from whom I had previously tolerated unhealthy behavior.

I feel much more inner authority, and life feels a bit easier. I am hopeful for what lies ahead.

— Jenn Tasnine Savage

Mystic, Intuitive Guide & Spiritual Healer

Before the session, I felt overwhelmed by emotional and spiritual heaviness, stuck in patterns I couldn’t break. After the Ancestral Constellations session, I felt a powerful shift—lighter, with an emotional release that wasn’t sad but deeply freeing. The session illuminated my family’s dynamics and the ancestral ties that were holding me back. It was eye-opening and affirming.

I’ve noticed lasting changes in my attitude and how I relate to family. I highly recommend this transformative work to anyone ready to heal and move forward in their lives. Tanya is an amazing facilitator, with incredible insight and depth.

Founder, Storytelling Coach, and Ancestral Constellations Facilitator, Creator, Writing with the Ancestors, Somatic and Life Monologue Process

For over 25 years, Tanya Taylor Rubinstein has been a transformative force in the world of storytelling and creative writing. A renowned coach and mentor, Tanya’s work spans the realms of solo performance, somatic writing, and ancestral healing, guiding individuals to discover and express the power of their own stories.

Tanya’s artistic journey began at Carnegie Mellon University and Emerson College, where she honed her craft in theater before studying with the Academy Award-nominated William Hickey and Academy Award-winning actress Sandy Dennis at HB Studio in New York City. It was during her time at Emerson that she met her storytelling mentor, the late Spalding Gray. Known for his intimate, monologue-style performances, Spalding’s influence inspired Tanya to shift from traditional repertory theater to creating and performing her own solo work.

In 1995, Tanya wrote and performed Honeymoon in India at the Railyard Performance Space in Santa Fe, New Mexico, marking the beginning of a new artistic chapter. Since then, she has developed and taught innovative storytelling techniques, including Somatic Writing, which connects the body, the land, and ancestral wisdom to unlock deeper, more authentic narratives.

As a passionate advocate for personal transformation, Tanya founded the Cancer Monologue Project, a life-changing initiative that empowers cancer survivors to write and perform their stories. The project culminated in the publication of The Cancer Monologue Project by MacAdam Cage Publishing.

Throughout her career, Tanya has mentored and coached over 100 solo performers whose work has been showcased at Fringe Festivals and theaters worldwide. Her approach to storytelling is rooted in empowerment, healing, and cultural transformation.

Since 2011, Tanya has also been deeply involved in Family Constellation practices, participating in circles led by renowned facilitators including Hella Nauman, Camille Adair, and Krista Jarred. In 2024, Tanya began facilitating Ancestral Constellations through the professional training of Leslie Nipps. This work integrates seamlessly with her Heroine’s Journey memoir programs, as well as her Writing with the Ancestors course, which she created in 2020 and shared with a global audience through The Shift Network in 2022.

Now, at the beginning of her elder years, Tanya’s mission is to empower matriarchal leaders of all ages to step fully into their power. By deepening ancestral connections and embracing the transformative power of storytelling, Tanya supports women in reimagining and reshaping cultural narratives that upend the status quo.
