Q & A after Workshop
Your Altar can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish - and should reflect both your style and the essence of your Loved One[s].
This Workshop approaches ways to use your altar as a space to connect with Loved Ones, using a holistic approach to help you in your grief. Learn how to use your mind, body, emotions, and spirit to connect more deeply with your Loved Ones and how the elements; earth, water, air, and fire, represent the ways in which to transform your grief and focus on love, gratitude, and connection.
After registering below you will be sent a link to download the handout for a prep list of easy to source items and all Zoom link information. Photos below by Betsy McCue.
For thousands of years, over many generations, and across most cultures around the world, the season of Autumn is the time to celebrate our Loved One[s] who have passed on and to honor our ancestors at an altar. From the well-known [and gorgeously ornate] Mexican ‘ofrenda’ that celebrates ancestors on Dia de los Muertos [Day of the Dead] at the end of October and All Souls Day November 1st and 2nd, to the Chinese ‘tan’ home altar, and Japanese ‘tamaya’ altars, The Celts celebrated Samhain when the veil between the living and the dead was most thin, and most Indigenous Peoples, and American Indian tribes, still stay connected to their dead with the act of creating a special place to go, a space for remembrances, respect, and rituals. Unlike a religious altar in a church, temple, or synagogue, home altars have long been a scared space which allows us to connect intimately with our Loved Ones.
