Ancestor Table
What It Is
A tabletop collage of stories, scents, and memories that keep your lineage close.
Why It Helps
Storytelling about those who shaped you integrates grief and belonging.
What You Need
Anything meaningful—recipe cards, jewelry, a rock from a hometown path.
How to Do It
Choose a quiet corner, lay a cloth, add objects, and speak the names of those you honor. Spend time recalling what they taught you.
This Is Not Worship
It is remembrance, much like a family photo wall.
Variations
Swap items seasonally or add a journal where visitors can write memories.
