We are embarking on a journey, another phase of our healing journey. 
We are starting with the idea that our ancestors have important lessons for us that we need to listen and respond to. 

There are two essential groups:

Ancestors within our memory or the memory of those still living, or animated by the stories of those still living.
Ancestors beyond the memory of those still living. 

We have maternal and paternal ancestors.

We have questions:
Who are you?
What did you value?
What pushed you up against the wall?
