Re/membering Our Rooted Selves

What are your roots? What is your relationship with ancestry and heritage? How do they inform you now? How do you want to walk in this world? What do you wish to contribute? This is an invitation to re/claim that which has been left behind, feeding us as we move into the future. A call to re/connect to memory and ancestry, dreaming and imagination, and re/root through story-telling.
