Think of this meetup as a spiritual family reunion…except with better beer and fewer awkward conversations about careers!

What if the stories that shaped you didn’t begin with your birth and won’t end with your death? Across cultures and spiritual traditions, ancestors are not just long-gone figures in dusty books—they’re active participants in our lives, offering wisdom, intercession, memory, covenant, karmic echoes, and sacred guidance. In this session, we’ll explore what Christianity calls the “Communion of Saints,” how Judaism frames ancestral covenant and remembrance, how reincarnation traditions imagine lineage across lifetimes, and how Indigenous communities safeguard ancestral memory through story and ceremony.

Let's raise a delicious beer from the excellent taps at The Table Public House and dive in on how different traditions understand continuity between the living and the dead—or the living and their past/later selves. Do ancestors pray for us? Are they walking with us? Are they us? How is wisdom handed down, and what responsibilities do we bear to memory and lineage, if any? Enjoy a nice, complex pint and enjoy the opportunity to connect this ancient longing for roots with our modern identities.

Whether you’re curious about saints, karmic echoes, sacred storytelling, or just want a thoughtful conversation with interesting people, this gathering invites us to consider how our lives stretch beyond a single lifetime—and what it means to belong to something bigger than ourselves. See you there!
