The Day of the Dead of Dia de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and the United States. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to honor those that have died. Traditonally, families build private altars honoring the deceased. They decorate the altars with sugar skulls, marigolds and favorite foods of the deceased.
This year the bereavement center will again host two healing arts workshops to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Participants will decorate a small skull (as a representation of the traditional sugar skulls) with colors and symbols that depict the personalities of the departed loved ones. The completed skulls will be placed on and around a traditionally decorated altar. A small celebration will follow where participants will be given the opportunity to share beloved memories and stories of their departed loved ones. No art experience is necessary.Please join us.
