The ceramic notes will serve to process loss and grief or to express hopes for the future. The Memorial Tree Project, a symbol of endurance and perseverance, will be a permanent installation at SHG.*See separate listing to sign up for William Acedo&#x27;s Dancing Calacas four-part workshop.**Only participants who have already started a paper mache calaca as of Oct 9th may continue this activity.
