What does it mean to carry within us the echoes of our collective African origins? Whether through ancestry, culture, or the shared heritage of humanity, Africa lives in our unconscious, shaping who we are and how we connect with one another. Drawing from history, psychology, and sacred traditions, we will reflect on how this connection invites us to embrace a broader understanding of our shared humanity and to honor the profound contributions of African cultures to the world. Join us as we celebrate the richness of our roots and uncover the ways this deep, ancestral legacy can guide us in creating a more compassionate and interconnected future.
