Step away from the past by adopting a surname from your female lineage.
When we look back at our family trees, we often realize that even our mothers' and grandmothers' maiden names belong to a patriarchal lineage. Yet, there is a profound difference: those names represent the women who built us, whose histories are quietly lost to time through the tradition of women absorbing their husbands' surnames. A Matrilineal Reclaiming Ceremony is an intentional act of ancestral healing. It is a sacred space to excavate a hidden female line, bringing the name of a mother, grandmother, or great-grandmother back into the light so you can carry their strength and legacy forward.
