Sacred Connections
A return of a summer series
We’re bringing back our summer series of seasons past to shine a light on fellow practitioners and facilitators of ancestral healing! Stay tuned and keep an eye out as we finalize programming. Our upcoming sessions will be announced as the summer continues.
opening session
Founder Veronica Agard started off the series before switching to host duties with a session of Writing with the Ancestors! It was a tender container and great introduction to our work.
session 1
Cynthia Alonzo Perez of Rooted in Reflection leads the first community collaboration with Resourcing our Ancestral Gifts, a session exploring joy, grief, and our inherent gifts.
session 2
Azul of Mariposx Healing leads Calling On The Ancestors of Collective Liberation - a session that aspires to help BIPOC folks reflect on our ancestors who survived colonization through intention setting, a guided meditation to connect with them, and movement to honor them.
session 3
Nandani, aka The West Indian Witch, helps us consider that every generation houses trans, queer, polyamorous, kinky, disabled, neurodivergent and radial thinking individuals. Who are these powers in your ancestral lineages?
Rescheduled!
Analise of Common Healing joins our founder for I Remembered I Was An Ocean, a conversation on embodying water as folks of the Black Diaspora.
