A space for grieving, honouring, and reclaiming our masculine ancestors.
Our upbringing carries wounds and joy, inspiration and trauma. We gather to reflect on fathers, grandfathers, and masculine figures—present, absent, real, or imagined. Patriarchy shapes us, whether we embrace or reject it. Through shared stories, we can acknowledge, release, and redefine our lineage. Family isn’t only written in DNA — our queer communities shape us too. Let’s take this moment to grieve, honour, and hold space together.
