Dia de Mu***os
November 1st, 2024
Ever since I was a little girl growing up in Latin America, Dia de Mu***os has been one of my favourite celebrations. Dia De Mu***os is a traditional Mexican celebration, yet it is shared by many Latin American cultures when it comes to paying respect, honouring and remembering our ancestors in celebration and joy, sharing our remembrance through photos, favourite foods, music, big ofrendas(altars), sometimes even pinatas….and above all music, flowers, fellowship and colours!
These colours and celebrations have been bringing so much peace to my heart ever since I lost my dad at a very young age, the way the cemeteries get transformed by colourful decorations, and offerings of all kinds to please and honour the memories of our loved ones has always brought me to a space of humbleness, joy and healing of my heart.
Colours, sound and community are key basis of self healing and healing in community… This is why, Sam and I are so happy to invite you to a celebration for the “Dia de Mu***os” a tradition that is very close to my heart, knowing very well that I am not from Mexico, I respect and honour this tradition by sharing it from my heart what has had a great impact in my life.
For Dia de Mu***os in Mexico is customary to drink “chocolate” ( a variation of cacao drink which is also shared in Guatemala where I am from) and Pan de Mu**to, a sweet bread that when dunked in the chocolate…. Well it takes you to your ancestors! This deliciousness will be shared to keep with this delicious tradition.
We will also take this opportunity to share a Cacao Ceremony to connect in gratitude and remembrance of all those who have passed, knowing that they are always with us, calling their names in gratitude and supporting the blissful freedom they deserve.
