OUR VANCOUVER FAMILY VISITS US IN OUR BEAUTIFUL ARCHIPELAGO

This is the first time when all five of us, and the whole fifteen who surround the five of us with love, have gathered together in our beautiful archipelago to bond as a family from 28 December 2018 to 17 January 2019. While exploring places, we also explored family growth processes through loving reflections together.

One big family of five and now fifteen. Different cultures. Varying worldviews, value systems, and behavior patterns. This is how multicultural and pluralistic our family has evolved. We think differently because of geographical, cultural, social, political, and economic contexts each nuclear family has been planted. Each chose to bloom where they have been planted

We are bound by the most powerful energy — LOVE.

Here are the highlights of our family vacation together:
