1-18-09, Our Ancestors, Ourselves: Healing Our Collective History

Sunday, January 18, 1-4 p.m. at New Renaissance Bookshop, 1338 NW 23rd Ave, Portland

Celebrate the new possibilities for positive change in the U.S. with this inspiring afternoon of healing!

Our country is blessed with an abundance of wealth and people of good will, but we find ourselves stuck in cycles of violence at home and abroad - this is because our nation was born in suffering for most beings involved, and this traumatic legacy continues to haunt our nation and the globe.

The good news is that we can heal history!

When we heal our history, we release the gifts of our ancestors to bless the world.

We can realize a U.S. that is part of the community of nations, and one in which our wealth is not hoarded, but shared.

Join us for an uplifting afternoon of healing the past and shifting our destiny as a people!
