Welcome Party and Alter Build
Location :Lisa's Room
Building a Day of the Dead altar together is a beautiful process filled with ritual and traditions. It's a way to know ourselves more deeply by connecting with our ancestors.
Remember, the Day of the Dead is a time for celebration, remembrance, and honoring those who have passed away. It's an opportunity to connect with your roots, express gratitude, and find comfort in the eternal bond between the living and the departed.
We will arrange marigolds, candles, and favorite foods on a clean white cloth, and light incense. The centerpiece of the altar is the placement of photographs of departed family or friends. It becomes a sacred space to tell stories and share the wisdom we received from knowing our loved ones. These cherished images serve as a heartfelt invitation for their spirits to join in the celebration.
When we honor and remember our past, we can more fully accept our present and build powerful futures with wisdom and intention.

A visit to Colonia 5 de Diciembre Cemetery on the Day of the Dead is a poignant experience.

It's a time of unity, reflection, and deep connection as the beauty of Mexican traditions and the cycle of life and death unfold before your eyes. This is an experience I am so excited to share!
