Ghosts haunt us. Ancestors walk beside us. Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama talk about their fathers. My jury service. And some tea from Maya Angelou
I needed to check in with something, someone(s) beyond my thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. As I sat in the jury box, I summoned the support of my ancestors through Dad and Lola and Maraea and way, way beyond. That was a moment. And there have been many more since...And that’s it, isn’t it. You are not alone. You are never alone. Your ancestors who dreamed of you are all around. Always.

Your name your ancestry your patterns - workshop
Exploration, expression and insight via a whole day of discussion, painting and constellation circles. No experience necessary. Just arrive, with your lunch, your water bottle a sun hat and warm layer, and of course, your name. Your given name is a portal into your family history, dynamics, and possibly, secrets. We take it as the starting point for a day of exploration, expression and insight after establishing a container for our shared vulnerability.
