Cultivating Compassion: Samhain/Ancestor’s Ritual To be compassionate with one’s self is a vital piece of cultivating compassion. Is there an ancestor that has supported your journey of self-compassion in some way? Maybe they offered caring words or showed up when you needed it. Maybe it’s an ancestor you never met, but their life speaks to you in a way that gives you hope and inspires you to treat yourself kindly. Bring a picture of an ancestor or an object that represents an ancestor, and join us for learning, growing, meditation, singing, and building community. And let us remember, we are the good ancestors of future generations!
