our ancestors are ecological beings

🐜

Like us, our ancestors are relational beings. They exist in ecosystems of interdependence.

🐜

We can work with them and all of these ecosystems to build new worlds together.

A reminder
🤲🏽
Bring your whole self to your ancestral connection practices.
🕯️
Our ancestral ecosystems are not in some far-off place watching from afar. They are with us always, witnessing.
🕯️
Presencing what is, while rooting in ecology is how we affirm our interconnectedness.
🕯️
Our broken hearts are potent pathways of connection.

remember.....

When life is full on life-ing, I come back to this.
👣
I am so grateful for the many fields of practice life continues to offer in all of its weirdness, beauty, complexity, and divine chaos.
👣
May our fields of practice be invitations into presence. May life move us towards deeper connections and love amongst ourselves and the ecologies that affirm liberation.
👣
May we embody love & connection. May love & connection be our foundations of home & kinship here on Earth.
👣
If you feel moved to join our field of practice, the Elder Wisdom portal of practice opens on October 9th 7-9pm EST.

This life is an invitation to practice embodying love & connection with the vast ecologies we are woven into. The second image reads: Practice makes perfect (crossed out). Beneath that reads: Practice invites presence.]
