Helping Spirits, Ancestors, and Queer Medicine with Langston Kahn

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Langston Kahn, a Black, queer teacher and shamanic practitioner whose work focuses on radical human transformation, ancestral healing, and restoring an authentic relationship with our emotions.

Langston’s work lives at a powerful crossroads, weaving together somatic practice, contemporary shamanic traditions, initiations into traditions of the African diaspora, and deep relationship with helping spirits and ancestors.

In our conversation, we explore Langston’s origin story and the early spiritual experiences that helped shape his path. We talk about helping spirits, ancestral healing, and what it means to remember that support from the unseen world may already be reaching toward us.

We also dive into shamanism, what that word means, and how to approach this kind of spiritual work with integrity and discernment. Langston shares beautifully about the impact of colonialism on our relationship with ritual, ancestors, magic, community, and the sacred, and how healing may involve reclaiming ways of being that have been severed or forgotten.

This is a rich, mystical, grounded, and deeply nourishing conversation about spirit, lineage, queerness, healing, and what it means to become resilient, creative, and courageous enough to bring healing into a fractured culture.
