Together, we’ll explore how our actions and choices today shape the legacy we leave for future generations, human or not. In our time of reflection in community, we’ll delve into the responsibilities and joys of becoming conscious ancestors, creatively cultivating lineages of compassion, heritages of justice, and birthrights of love for times when we are not here. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or a deeper connection to our shared human journey, here is your invitation to ponder our/your roles in the unfolding story of our collective future.
