About this Event
TRADITION
Join in creation of a traditional dia de los muertos altar + cacao "oferenda" ritual. Through hands-on preparation and sensory exploration, we’ll discover the traditional and ceremonial uses of cacao. Sight, scent, sound, touch, and taste become pathways for experiencing the cultural wisdom held within this sacred food on a very important weekend in Mexican tradition.
Bring a copy of a photo of a beloved or item that represents someone who love who has passed to remember them by in this traditional ritual for honoring, remembering, and respecting our ancestors, friends, family, and community.
