What if your name was not an individual but a compass In this workshop, we explore through memory our association with each part of our personal names'given, chosen, or both'following the changing meanings as our relationship to them evolves. You are invited to a ceremony of remembering, to relearn the significance of our names, turn to them to find our way forward, and meet ourselves kindly. May it serve as an entry point to explore your identity in its multifaceted, dynamic nature, gently guiding you toward the wisdom for your next step.
