Creating a Garden Altar/Ofrenda for our Ancestors for Dia De Los Muertos
In this emotional healing workshop, we will learn how to build a garden altar through the guided spirit of our ancestors and bring to life our traditions with Legend of Xochitl y La Flor De Cempasuchil (Marigold - the Flower of Dia De Muertos). Materials graciously donated by HerbalActionProject.
We will close this workshop with a healing sound ceremony as we provide an offering to our ancestors in the gardens.
