a community jesa:
💛 chuseok can be a time to nurture our connection to our ancestors. whatever that means for you, explore it with us
💛 we will prepare a jesa table. food offerings, a mat, incense, paper, string, a few other bits and bobs to hang things if you wanna
💛 join us in a collective remembering. write the names of people to honour or grieve. hang them alongside ours. maybe a photo that’s ok to share. or a memento. a poem. it’s optional. it’s whatever we want it to be <3
💛 thank u to moon jung for this community jesa drawing x
