Join Root.ED Nature School Sunday November 1 from 12-6pm as we co-create a community
ancestor alter and gather together for our fourth annual Dia de los Muertos Ancestor Honoring
Celebration and Community Grief Ritual.
Beginning at 12pm we will be decorating the TwispWorks pavilion and setting up the community
alter. We invite you to join us throughout the day. At 5pm we will light the candles on the community
alter and open up the microphone and stage for ofrendas/offerings of music, poetry, story and
movement honoring our human and more-than-human ancestors.
Traditionally Dia de los Muertos alters are layered with dried flowers like marigolds/cempusuchil,
colorful textiles and flags/papel picado, candles and incense, photos and art depicting and
celebrating our ancestors, sugar skulls/calaveras, candy and sweet breads/pan dulce.
Any items you contribute to the community alter will go home with you Sunday evening so please
feel welcome to bring alter items from your home alters and sacred spaces.
This is a free and family-friendly community celebration!
