The Future Ancestor

Author:  Annabelle Sharman

A Guide and Journey to Oneness

An empowering book to help you connect with Mother Earth and your ancestors through stories & life lessons.

Purchase a copy of “The Future Ancestor”  and you are invited to attend the first of our Global Contact Open Minds talks for 2023.

To celebrate  the release of “The Future Human”  Annabelle is our Guest Speaker.

The talk will be held  on Saturday February 11 at 6pm in Berry.

Indigenous earth‑based traditions have always seen the Earth and all beings as interconnected and sacred. Humans as one with the Earth itself. Interconnected. The sacred, carefully woven within, in all beings and all things. We are all Future Ancestors, and we must nurture and protect our Mother Earth, a mission more important now than ever before.

Through insightful stories and life lessons, First Nations woman of the Mutti Mutti tribe Annabelle Sharman will guide you to unravel a piece of who you truly are from within, to see and feel through your ancestors’ eyes, heart and spirit, and to embrace the responsibility of creating a better world for future generations.

A gifted storyteller, Annabelle shares in a way that transports you to the campfire with a cuppa between your hands, the red dirt underfoot and the Murray lapping in the distance, regulating your nervous system like a mother rocking her child.

This book is centred on Annabelle’s spiritual healing practice of YUMA – developed from a Mutti Mutti language word meaning BE – which will help you live in Oneness with Spirit and Mother Earth. YUMA empowers you to become your own medicine on your healing journey. This path to Oneness is divided into five parts:
·      Connection
·      Ceremony
·      Immersion
·      Peace
·      Home
Learn to live each day in alignment and begin the journey home to becoming a Future Ancestor.

More about Annabelle:

Annabelle Sharman is a proud Mutti Mutti Woman who honours ancestral cultural heritage, knowledge, wisdom and a natural attuned connection to Earth medicine. Annabelle  honours her ancestral cultural heritage through her work as a multi-disciplinary artist and healer. A certified social worker, reiki master and holistic counsellor – today her work is located at the intersections of art, culture, community, health and wellbeing. 

After more than two decades specialising in mental health, trauma and recovery both in her private practice and as a social services provider within the community and health care system, Annabelle was left depleted and burnt out by the standardised model of providing services within a clinical setting. The process of sitting in a small therapist room all day was oppressive, draining and often neither culturally safe or inclusive for her client’s needs or her own as a practitioner. 

Reaching a crossroads, she took time out to embark on a healing journey through the many layers of her own trauma—from her lived experiences as well as the inter-generational and vicarious trauma from her work. It was on this journey that Annabelle began exploring her ancestral culture, connection to Country, the power of story and intuitive creativity as threads of a healing process, discovering that by weaving them together with her traditional qualifications, she had developed a holistic healing process that was central to her own healing. In “The Future Ancestor”, an autobiographical book about her life and work.
