The magic of Lithuanian world
Free lecture
When September starts in Lithuania, we naturally start thinking more about the darker part of the year.
The thing is, it only gets darker outside – within it's on the contrary:
it is the time of light, peace and connection to the ancestors and the divine.
In this lecture, you'll hear an overview of this period of the year –
what is the kind of magic that is hidden behind the old traditions, songs, folklore and a lot more?
You'll also hear about the online lectures planned for September-December that will focus on the topics of:
traditions of birth, wedding, death and burial, All Soul's Day, traditional Lithuanian festivals throughout the year and what being Lithuanian means all in all.

Evelina Viktorija Žemeikytė
A lecturer, genealogist, columnist, the founder of „Stiprios šaknys“ („Strong roots genealogy“), currently seeking master's degree in Baltic language and cultures. After I've been actively researching my own family history for quite some time, I've realised more and more people get interested in their heritage, but they sometimes need help navigating all the resources and getting on the right track with their research. I offer online and onsite lectures to groups and communities in Lithuanian and English, organise educational programs for school students for getting to know their ancestors, learning about researching and respecting the past and the rich heritage that is coded in our history. I also consult one-on-one. |
