On the Day of the Dead, it’s believed that the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolves. We can remember and celebrate those who have had a positive influence on your lives during this special time of remembering. Learn about the Day of The Dead ritual and how to make it your own. As we remember those who have passed, there's a great opportunity to continue their influence and wisdom in the present. The Day of The Dead can be a very healing time for many. Learn how to create a Ofrendas, a special colorful and festive altar space for the deceased, with candles, bright marigolds called cempasuchil alongside food like stacks of tortillas, fruit and sweet treats. Enjoy a time of remembering, journaling and optional sharing. Remember, honor and continue the meaningful influence of your loved ones during Dia De Los Muertos.
Wednesday, Oct. 20th 7:15-8:30. Workshop includes special Dia De Los Muertos food and tea.

Meet Naomi:

Naomi is a Yoga Teacher and Trainer 500 ERYT in Boise, Idaho. She is the co-owner of True North Yoga. Naomi has been teaching for fifteen years and loves sharing yoga with others. Yoga came into her life during the transition from the professional world into motherhood. Yoga was the spark that ignited a desire to live a more authentic life. It was the beginning of a self discovery journey that continues today. The slow and rich process of truly knowing and accepting yourself is yoga called Swadaya. The practice of yoga continues to be a touchstone throughout many life transitions. After experiencing the passing of her mother to cancer in 1998, she found that ritual, remembering and honoring was a powerful way to heal. Dia De Los Muertos is a beautiful expression of celebrating and honoring the life of those who have passed.
