What does it mean to be a spiritual practitioner drawing from ancestral knowledge, and what are people in need of today? Join us for a discussion between US-based spiritual workers from different diasporic communities, including Mudang Jenn, a Korean shaman based in New York; Pānquetzani Ticitl, healer and founder of Indigemama: Ancestral Healing; and artist and SoulTender Marwa Abdul-Rahman. The conversation will be moderated by Duncan Ryuken Williams, Professor of Religion and East Asian Languages & Cultures and the Director of the USC Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture. Participants will give short presentations on their practices and then together discuss their experiences, challenges, and the adaptations they make to work most effectively and authentically in their respective ways.
