Ancestors in Training: Shaping the Future

Broadcast on February 03, 2023
With Veronica Agard
Hosted by Vanessa Gonzalez Codorniu

Ancestors in Training is an educational project and lived experience that centers on sacred traditions, new technologies, intergenerational healing, and grief work. In this session Veronica Agard will explore how this mindset can be utilized as a portal for healing. She'll share how to be an ancestor in training, and how to apply the lessons of the past to shape a better present and future for those that come after us.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • Encouragement and a sense of belonging as you navigate ancestral veneration
  • Since our time in the physical world is finite, we should strive to be elevated ancestors now
  • A set of Ancestors in Training writing prompts that you can use to deepen your practice
The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.
