Come gather in a safe space with other Pan Asian/Asian American kin to tap into our connection to each other and our ancestors. As members of the Asian diaspora, many of us have a painful or broken connection to our ancestral lineages, families and traditions. Acculturation in the US and white supremacy also negatively impact our relationship to ancestral traditions. By connecting to the support that came before, we can come more fully into what legacy we want to leave the world. Through guided meditation, interactive sharing and voice work, we can open to healing and tap into the deep well of the benevolent heart. We will explore ways to open to spiritual resources that connect us to the ancestors of blood, spirit, and land who are here to offer us support, resource, and guidance.
