As we surrender deeper into the longer nights, join us for an evening of flowers and fire — an opening, a portal to memory.

Dia de Los Muertos has long been celebrated in pre-Hispanic cultures as a moment to honor the thinning of the veil between the physical realm and the spirit realm. In the modern world that sometimes moves too quickly to grieve, altars invite us to slow down, remember, and reconnect us with those on the other side.

In the practice of tending to an altar, we create the space for our loved ones to meet us once more. Each intentional offering – flowers, food, photos – becomes a latern, guiding the spirits on the other side to this shared meeting point.

Join us November 2nd for an evening of flowers, fire, memory, and ceremony — a collective portal of remembrance and renewal.

Ceremony (the ticketed event) is from 6-7pm. We’ll begin by sharing cacao in sacred circle, opening our hearts before moving into a guided sound bath and collective Reiki healing. The altar will be created ahead of time, and there will be the opportunity for each of us to add our own photos and offerings.

Open gallery and altar from 7-8pm. This part is free and requires no RSVP. Come as you are :)

What to bring:

A yoga mat or blanket for the sound healing portion
A photo of a loved one to add to the altar, or any other items you would like on the altar (optional but encouraged)

Details:

Sunday, November 2nd · 6–8pm
Meraki Spaces · 4502 Cass St (2nd Floor)

Please note: All are welcome, regardless of cultural background or relationship to death/the other side.
