Ep. 198 Family Archetypes: Understanding the Thanksgiving Dinner Table Dynamics

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

You’ve done the inner work and matured spiritually, yet as soon as your family gathers for the holidays you feel like a little kid again and revert to the same old, dysfunctional family dynamics! Just in time for Thanksgiving, Katie shares how family archetypes affect our relationships and how you can start creating more healthy family dynamics this holiday season.

Learn how to approach your next family gathering with the mind of a yogini so you can unravel generational karma and have more compassion toward yourself and others.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we’re moving through the airy, erratic winds of fall toward the stillness and inward pull of winter—a time when the earth invites us to slow down, nourish deeply and tend the inner hearth before we rebirth anew this spring.

(If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, your rhythm is the opposite: the earth is drawing you outward into warmth, expansion and newness.)

Feminine-Form Ayurveda honors the nature-based wisdom that flows from the lineage of women medicine keepers who learned by watching the moon, tending the soil and listening to the pulse of the Earth.

As we enter this quieter season and move closer to the 2026 rebirth ask yourself: 

Are you honoring your inner pulls? 
Are you feeling a soul-nudge to embrace your Inner Healer or Mystic? 

If you’re feeling called to reconnect to the seasons, the elements and the pulse of Her rhythms—Ayurveda School is where that remembering begins.
