Workshop: Healing Our Lineages with Alter Making

Make an ancestor alter in this hands-on workshop of deep healing, reverence and interconnectedness led by Folk Community Artist and Educator Janae’ “Jaee” Sumter, founder of Sweet Herbal Honey Apothecaries and Director of Ase’ O Community Arts & Wellness Education Program.

This session embraces the power of generational healing and ancestral connection, holding space for ourselves and the matriarchs in our lives. Through creativity, reflection, and dialogue, we will honor space for our healing and connection to our mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, and friends as we explore ancestral and reflective practices that bring us closer to our healing and connection with ourselves and each other. Through ancestral letter writing, inner-child reflections, collective altar building, and intuitive painting, we will have a collective session that will allow each adult participant to unpack questions, share stories, paint, dance, and potentially cry and laugh as we make space for the power of healing, forgiving, internal acceptance and celebration of those who have paved the way for us with what they knew.

Supplies included. Space limited. More information and sign-up at: on.sfpl.org/altermaking
