About this Event

Rituals of Remembering: Fall Celebration

In this final Rituals of Remembering of the Season we will come together to enjoy food and live music as we reflect on our time together during the series and build a collective altar celebrating our lost loved ones.

We invite you to contribute our community altar which we will build together in the gazebo. You are welcome to bring a photo of your loved one or a sentimental item from home for the altar as well, which you will take when you leave. We will also have supplies for you to write or draw your contributions if you are not able to bring anything, as well as a variety of flowers that you can place.

We will reflect on our time together and create art and build a collective altar in the garden to honor and celebrate our departed loved ones. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Musical artist TBA.

All ages are welcome—we will have a youth facilitator doing an age-appropraite parallel activity with children. Please let us know if you will bring your kids and how many!

This event is FREE and open to everyone.

Please reach out via Contact the organizer feature with any questions about the event or accessibilty.

________________________

Rituals of Remembering is a discussion and creative activity-based workshop series that aims to provide a space and structure for participants to open and deepen our experience of grief, loss, and remembering beyond the death of those we love, using the garden space as the central theme. Each month will focus on a particular theme and related activity and invite participants to discuss rituals of remembering together in a group setting. Each activity will also give opportunities to incorporate remembering directly into the garden space, so that community members may return to remember in the garden beyond the workshop series. Events can be attended individually or as a series in 2025 one Saturday a month in March, April, May, June, August, September, and October 2025.

This event series resented in partnership with , , , and Healing Illinois.
