Poetic Guided Meditation For Ancestral Connection: Tupuna

In this guided meditation, we take time to open up and listen to our ancestors. This is a reflective practice of remembering who we are, awakening to ancestral legacies, and reconnecting ourselves to our present purpose. Tupuna is the word for ancestors in 17 Pacific languages. This grounding meditation draws on indigenous knowledge and intergenerational understandings from the islands of the South Pacific. Dream dialogue with ancestors has been a common practice in Pacific cultures for centuries. This is one in a series of Mana Moana meditations that explore indigenous concepts, philosophy, and ideas from the largest ocean in the world.
