thank you ancestors

Our beloved ancestors exist in ecology just like we do. Like us, they are ecological beings woven into tapestries of kinship and belonging. When we call on and connect with them, there is always an invitation to affirm their connections with the larger bodies of wisdom and ecology they are woven into. These bodies of ecology and wisdom can often be conduits of ancestral connections supporting us in the practice field we call life.
🌊
When I feel into these bodies of ecology, I feel the presence of the omi aiye (earthly waters) that run through our bodies, carrying ancestral memory while sustaining the larger webs of life; I feel the presence of afẹ́fẹ́ (the winds) we breathe that carry the ase of our ancestors on its back, our first breath, our last breath and those in between while maintaining the larger webs of life.
💨
As the ancestors returned, we, too, are woven into these larger bodies of wisdom and ecology, and there are so many more that support and affirm our lives, belonging, and journeys toward collective liberation.
☀️
In Elder Wisdom, we offer a ritual container of practice for exploring the vast networks of ancestral ecologies that affirm our lives, uplift our belonging, and mirror back to us generative lifeways. We dedicate the ẹmi (spirit) of our practice towards our collective liberation and our homecoming journeys with our ancestral ecologies and elder wisdom fields that want us to be free. We warmly invite you to join us.
