Transmissions from the Ancestors is designed to get participants writing about their own ancestral connections and how they impact the future. Using readings, visual images, and written prompts in this 2 hour writing workshop, participants will write a short work that may be the outline for a longer essay, memoir, or story or useful in journaling about ancestral connections and their impact.

Anahit’s new book Reparations of the Heart presents a vibrant tapestry of essays; stories; poems; quotes; and detailed, often surreal images. It crosses time and borders and launches us into a future world informed by our connection to our ancestors.

This is what she wants for the people who attend her workshop.
