Losing the ones we love from this world doesn’t have to drown us in grief and despair. When those we love leave this world, they are still here with us, alive and well in our hearts and memories. We keep them alive through telling their stories. Join Serafina Nicole Lúz in this sacred celebratory ceremony amongst community to honor those who have left this world yet will never leave our hearts. Let us let the wisdom of our collective grief transmute itself into unconditional love. It will look something like this:
Education on the tradition and history of Día de los Muertos
Welcome prayer
Guided meditation for intention and embodiment
Ofrenda creation and storytelling
Collective sharing and storytelling
Closing meditation and prayer
Celebration time with community
We will supply:
Crafting supplies
Marigolds
A sacred momento to bring home and place on your altar
Drinks and homemade treats by Flower Child Foods
What you will bring:
Photos of whomever you wish to honor in this ceremony that you don't mind glueing or taping onto something.
Any additional special items that you would like to create with, share or hold close during the process.
