Dia de los Inocentes🕯️

This virtual grief circle honors the lives of babies, children, and pregnancies lost - whether recently or long ago. Rooted in the cultural traditions of Día de los Inocentes, it offers a gentle, guided space to remember, grieve, and create in community. Whether you’re a parent, relative, or community member touched by loss, you are welcome here.

Together, we’ll reflect on personal and collective grief, explore simple ways to create altars or ofrendas, and choose between two creative paths: a virtual altar-making session or a guided writing ritual. We’ll close with quiet reflection and optional sharing in community.

What to Bring:
A candle (optional)
A photo or item to represent your loss (optional)
Paper and pen
Your presence, just as you are

Language & Accessibility🗣️
This circle will be held in Spanglish, with cultural context shared in both English and Spanish when appropriate. All are welcome, including bilingual and Spanglish-speaking participants. A slide show will be available for visual learners.

Hosted by

Capacity is limited so please RSVP via linktree, website or eventbrite.

The full Harvest Moon can symbolize natural life cycles, including completion and endings, similar to how farmers complete their harvests. While the idea of a connection between moon phases and death rates is culturally prevalent, there is no scientific basis for a causal relationship; however, the full moon has inspired symbolism of a life lived fully, and even negative associations with sudden death.

Cultural & Symbolic Interpretations:

Life and Death Cycles: The Harvest Moon, occurring near the autumnal equinox, marks a time of completion, mirroring the end of the farming season and the symbolic end of life.

Fullness of Life: A full moon can be associated with a "good death" when a person has lived a full life, with the full moon representing a life lived to its peak.

Rebirth and Transformation: The moon's waxing and waning, which is at its peak during a full moon and its most diminished during a new moon, can symbolize death and rebirth.

"Death Moon" Nickname: Some cultures, like the Anglo-Saxons, have historically called certain full moons the "Death Moon," possibly referring to the coming winter's cold and desolate nature rather than a literal connection to death itself.

🌱What makes water cremation special is how it mirrors nature’s own process. The same decompostion that would take decades in soil happens in just hours, but with remarkable gentleness. It’s like returning to the elements in the most natural way possible 🌎

"Access to a good death is too often reserved for the privileged, while everyone else is left to navigate a system that wasn’t built for them — or worse, actively works against them."

Hospice care cannot achieve its mission unless it actively addresses the inequities built into the structures around it.
