Almost all of us grew up in straight families without direct gay role models, but (known to us or not) we all have gay ancestors. In this workshop, using elements of ritual, we connect to the ancestor field that lies behind us so we can step into the footprints of the gay men from our own lineage. In each generation, gay men have been born - regardless if they could live an open life or not, gay men have always been there, throughout all time. Connection to our own gay ancestors gives us a new sense of place, it gives us roots and ground.
