This retreat provides a remarkable glimpse into the Mexican Culture traditional holiday “El Día de los Muertos,” the special day of the year when our departed ancestors, friends, and family are particularly honored.

The rituals we will explore are a combination of Mesoamerican traditions, European Christianity, and Spanish culture. Our time together will conclude with a joyful celebration of life and ways to show respect and love for those who have died. Participants will be invited to bring a small item to remember a loved one and to create their own personal ofrenda or altar.
