Passages was created by Mariana Bandera, an Anthropologist & Archaeologist who has an affinity to the past, shaping who we are and who we want to be. She has a deep connection to the ceremonies throughout all cultures and how wisdom is preserved. Passages was her way of bringing a unique take on how humans can consciously preserve lessons & history with modern tools available. After her grandparents introduced her to this concept when they recorded their own life stories, Mariana understood the importance and wanted to help others memorialize their loved ones.
Passages is grounded in the vision that our descendants will know their ancestors.
We are paving the path for healing through self-reflection + intimacy within families & communities. Your life is part of the collective story of humanity and by passing on wisdom to the next generations we essentially become Ancestors.
