Join us in celebrating the connections that hold us together and the many ancestral lineages woven through our community. For our potluck, families are invited to bring a dish from their heritage or a food that reminds them of someone they love.
There will be space to share stories of ancestors who have passed and those still living, including our human and more-than-human relations. Families are also welcome to bring a photo or meaningful object for our altar.
Together, we will make small clay figures and offer them to the forest as gifts of gratitude to the ancestors of the land and waters of this place.
