Happy Day of the Ancestors / Día de los Muertos 🕯️
Today we honor all those who came before us, who forged the paths we now walk, without whom we wouldn’t be here.
Some of our ancestors make us proud, while others leave us feeling embarrassed, conflicted or sad. We don’t get to choose the people to whom we’re physically related, but we can choose how we relate to them.
It’s taken me a long time to understand that one of the ways I can change the world is by facing my own ancestry and healing the wounds carried through my lineage. The work of our time is integration and integration requires spaciousness: the space to acknowledge, feel and ultimately transform what we’ve inherited.
Singing is a powerful tool for creating that space. For feeling grief, celebrating joy and calling in all those we may have forgotten.
I feel so much gratitude for my friends in the Murmuration Project, who helped me process the death of my grandmother earlier this summer. They gave me the confidence to stay on my path and celebrate her life right where I was, without needing to travel anywhere (except inward).
May we have the courage to face not only our outer enemies, but also the adversarial parts of our own ancestry that stand in opposition to who we came here to be.
May we find a way to honor where we come from without being bound by it and to honor those whom we deeply loved 🧡

Samantha Rose (she/her) and Nick (he/him) have known each other for five months, but they both strongly believe that time is relative when it comes to people you connect with instantly. Their bond is built on spirituality and shared beliefs, as they are both deeply in touch with their spiritual selves and open to continued growth and expansion. They care for each other deeply and their friendship is full of laughter, playfulness, constructive support, reassurance, and love.

Yesterday, with the sound of the bell, we opened our hearts and awakened from the myth of separateness.
During this year’s Fetzer Institute event, Reawakening Humanity’s Sacred Connection with Earth, we gathered in a Circle of Oneness, an interactive musical experience guided by Nick Demeris, in partnership with Global Optimism, The BioFi Project and Human Instruments, and an experience Myzelio was honored to help make possible.
Nick led us to unite our voices, bodies and minds into a collective song, to have a lived experience of oneness. What began as separate voices slowly became a single, living sound, reminding us that singing is one of humanity’s oldest ways of gathering, a way to remember we were never meant to do this alone.
What might shift if we remembered we were never separate to begin with?

Wat een opening!! 🌅
Samen zongen we onder leiding van @humaninstruments , bracht @berendkoen ons cabaret en liedjes vol lichtheid en beleefden we een prachtig ritueel onder leiding van @derituelenmaker . @lauravandolron sloot met haar vertrouwde wijsheid af.
Wij duiken de avond nog even dieper in met sprekers, muziek en dans! 🙏
