Online Workshop
In this Black-centered Ancestral Altars and Research 101/202 workshop, you will be encouraged to activate, nourish and strengthen your connection with humxnity by deepening your understanding of your ancestors and learning to build a space to honor them.
Join Sanyu Estelle, The Word Witch, as she focuses on ancestral research specific to Black/African-American individuals and how the influence of Colonization has affected Ancestor Research sources. Colonization has a distinct global hixtory that has had severe implications for the ancestry of Black/African-American people.
This an important class because people of African-American, Black or Afro-Diasporic descent are often confronted with highly racist record and research sources. Due to this, it can be very frustrating, disheartening or misleading to do ancestral research. Sanyu will also cover what Ancestral Altars are, why they are significant and how they can be constructed either in the workshop or via the 101/202 download.
Taught in a unique channeled style, this workshop will provide attendees with spiritual and material resources that will allow them to begin, continue or deepen their ancestral work.
Descendants of Black or African-American ancestry who identify as "People of Color" **over/before** "Black/African-American, Afro-Caribbean or Afro-Latinx" can audit this workshop. Meaning they may register and attend but will be asked to reserve their questions until the end of the workshop if time permits or email Sanyu after the workshop ends.
Please bring something to take notes with, ancestral altar questions, wear no black and no red, and feel free to bring questions pertaining to your actual ancestors.
