Week 2: Ancestors
FLASH WRITING 2 Thurs Oct. 9th 4pm PT
We do not walk in this world alone. The ancestors walk besides us. They often lead the way. But it can get really hard to hear them sometimes. It takes practice. Connecting with them opens up divine pathways to writing. And if you don’t feel connected to any ancestors, then now’s a good time to dig deep and find someone in this vast world of legendary elders/ancestors to shine towards.
