This week, we dive into a truth that we often forget: We are the dreams of our ancestors. Join us as we explore the ways we can honor our ancestors in the lives we live today and how we can move forward in healing their wounds AND ours, not just for our own good, but for the good of our communities. Knowing this helps us get through anything, and this is the type of resilience many of us need right now.

You will learn:

// How I was inspired by my Black dharma teacher, Noliwe Alexander, and the phrase, “We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams”

// How we can gain resilience from remembering our ancestors’ paths

// The importance of acknowledging the weight our own lineage might have

// Why being with our suffering contributes to more than just our own healing

// What generational trauma is and how it impacts resourcing from our past
