Honoring Our Ancestors: Telling The Truth and Reclaiming Our Wisdom

May 26, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

with Arisika Razak 

for Self Identified People of Color 

Based on who we are and what we’ve been through and how we survive and where we stand, we are on kind of sacred ground. We stand on the backs of our ancestors. – Ava DuVernay

How are our lives informed by the actions of our ancestors – and what can we learn from their choices and experiences? How do we integrate multicultural linages, intergeneration trauma and ancestral wisdom? Join us for a day of storytelling, dharma teachings, movement, writing, and music in which we compassionately examine our diverse ancestral histories, celebrate our multicultural heritage/s and create a new liberation story.
