Why so many of us feel lost — how to find our way

Hey real one,

I was never taught how, nor the importance of honoring my ancestors.. were you?

I believe one of the reasons so many of us are feeling lost and disconnected from purpose or life is we were never taught why or how to connect with our ancestors. 

My lineage like many of us, is both the colonized and the colonizer. 

The oppressed & the oppressor… 

On my mothers side of my family, I am of Croatian Yugoslavian descent. My Great-Grandparents fled Europe during the Nazi invasions. On my Papi’s side I am also of both of Indigenous Mexican blood on my Papi’s side and Spanish and Portuguese.

Like most of us who now reside in Northern America, when our European ancestors left their homes and migrated to Mexico, Canada & the States, they were forced to leave many traditions behind. I believe this is when our lineages and DNA began to get fragmented, when cultures and native tounges were forgotten. It seems we somehow lost apart of ourselves. Which makes sense as to why it can be a bit harder for many of us to truly know who we are and feel so disconnected to our origins and roots.

Having success in my business over the last decade, came with a new found privilege to travel as most of my dad’s side didn’t have the means to or even have passports for that matter.  I have been fortunate enough to have visited 6 out of the 7 continents.  This privilege allowed me to experience people from around the world who are deeply connected to not only family, but unwavering pride in their cultures rooted in long standing traditions that still hold true.

I believe this connection is what helps humans feel a sense of wholeness.

So tomorrow night on Halloween, Halos Eve~ the night before All Saints Day & Day of the Dead,  I am leading my 5th annual Samhain ceremony. 

During this FREE VIRTUAL gathering….

We will learn ancient practices and traditions as we begin to create a relationship with reverence that honors both our ancestors and the Earth creating this re-connection to our roots.

This connection to our ancestry and Mother Earth allows us to begin to hear the whispers of our ancestors and the Sacred which will support us in resilence and remaining rooted in trust and grounded during these wild times.

If that feels juicy and exciting to you - snag a seat in tomorrows sacred circle ASAP. I just opened up a few more spaces as we hit our capacity earlier today.

WHEN: OCT 31st Friday, 9am PST/ 11am CST / 12pm EST/ 5pm Portugal and UK on ZOOM.

Our ceremony will be in the morning for those in the States & Canada and an early evening for those in Europe & in the UK.

It is safe to remember who you are let’s let the ancestors light up the way.
