March 25 “The Resilience and Strength of Our Ancestors” with Soltahr Tiv-Amanda, M.A., LPC

This evening we're joined by our featured speaker, Soltahr Tiv-Amanda, M.A., LPC on The Resilience and Strength of Our Ancestors.

As we consider what our ancestors went through, we recognize that their lives were wrought with traumatizing events and situations. Many of those traumas were endemic to their time. Yet, some of these traumas continue in our time, and in our own lives.

What positive, loving steps can we take to begin the healing process for ourselves and for our ancestors as well?

Soltahr Tiv-Amanda, M.A., LPC has been a therapist for 20 years. Outside of her therapy practice, she is a spiritual teacher, author, consultant and wild grandmother. She graduated from Naropa in 1999, and went on to teach Multicultural classes there for over 11 years. She has also taught at CU Boulder and Regis University. Soltahr has been a priestess and ordained minister on the Goddess/Earth-based path for 35 years.
