[karenc at wi.rr.com]

All cultures attach ritual significance to the passing of loved ones, and some cultures worship their ancestors ensure the ancestors' continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living and sometimes to ask for special favors or assistance. In this workshop, we will begin with the family tree and expand to the many ways that we can address issues relating to family and ancestors, both known and unknown, loved and unloved.  We will also examine legacies given to us by those who are not family members but have influenced our growth, perspectives and wisdom.
