RISE November 2025 resources
Find insight from our November 18th session with Joseph Bertrand and Dr. Celia Naylor. These resources address the critical questions of leading events focused on spirits, establishing ethical traditions and creating non-exploitative ways for RISE sites to engage with ancestral legacy.
Our November 2025 webinar asked: how can RISE sites respectfully lead in events and holidays that focus on the dead, and what are the most meaningful ways to honour ancestors.
