I’ve searched far and wide for spiritual community, it was when I stopped searching that it found me. I didn’t have any expectations besides receiving the messages my ancestors have for me. This was my second misa and it felt so intentional, some of us came as strangers and left as family. I received a message from my late father, who is on my altar, and I feel encouraged to grieve differently, with more love and gratitude. Thank you for this beautiful event and community.
