You’re warmly invited to take part in The Meadow’s Day of the Dead celebration/ceremony this fall. We invite you to bring a photograph of a cherished loved one who has passed away--a family member, friend, mentor, or even an ancestor. The photo will be placed on our altar amongst the many marigolds, votives and offerings on our ofrenda. No Day of the Dead celebration would be complete without an ofrenda, which is an altar adorned with images of loved ones, marigolds, offerings of food, and personal items.
Adding the beauty of our event, we’ll offer a guided meditation, sharing circle, and facilitate an expressive portraits painting project to remember and celebrate the spirit of your loved ones. Don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect with the memory, guidance, and support of our beloveds at a powerful time when the veil between the living and the dead lifts.
El Día de Los Muertos is a holiday that originated in Mexico people gather to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed away. It typically takes place on November 1st and 2nd and is considered a joyful and festive occasion, not a mournful one. The day focuses on honoring and welcoming back the spirits of those who have transitioned at a time of year when we mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Many Indigenous traditions believe this is a moment on the cyclical calendar when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is whispery thin, allowing for communication and engagement.
The origins of El Día de Los Muertos can be traced back to Aztec traditions honoring the dead blended with Catholic beliefs brought to Mexico by the Spaniards. In essence, Day of the Dead is a celebration the past and present, and the intertwined nature of life and death.
