"This book of teachings, meditations, and practices by Jennifer LeBelcea to connect directly with the healing power of water is both accessible and also rooted in the perennial wisdom of our ancestors. By inviting more direct and conscious relationship with water as an elder teacher and healer, we can invite greater presence and transformation into our daily lives." - Daniel Foor, PhD , author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing Born from a war-torn ocean crossing, this guide returns us to water as sacred medicine. Return to Water is a sacred grief companion for those navigating loss, healing from trauma, and seeking a path of soulful return. Drawing from her own lived experience — through war, displacement, abandonment, and profound healing — Dr. Jennifer QT LeBelcea offers a gentle, ritual-based guide for honoring grief as sacred medicine. Inside, readers will discover rituals for grief and healing, reflections on boundaries and self-compassion, and invitations for returning to embodied presence after trauma. Return to Water offers spacious guidance, poetic reflection, and a deep honoring of the grief journey — an invitation to walk gently with what hurts and to rediscover the sacred beauty of life.
