Please join us for our 2nd annual Dia de los Muertos celebration. The Mexican Day of the Dead is a joyous and sacred time to welcome the souls of the dead. The deceased have divine permission to visit loved ones on earth and to share the celebration and pleasures of the living (even if only for a short while). In this aspect, the event is a triumph over death and therefore becomes a celebration of life. For the closer we are to the truth of our own death & mortality, the more alive we become.
We will have a traditional Ofrenda (Altar) and a guided meditation to open communication between the worlds that will support and heal relationships with those we have lost. We invite you to bring an object, picture, or artifact that reminds you of something beloved that is no longer present to be placed on the Ofrenda. This can relate to a person, pet, idea, or anything lost that you would like to connect with for one night of celebration. Please wear or bring clothing suitable for inside and outside with festive attire or Day of the Dead costumes welcomed and encouraged. Inside, we offer traditional Day of the Dead bread, sweets, and other celebratory items.
Kindly register by October 31 to accommodate our preparations.
Pre-registration before October 24th: $49
Registration October 24th or later: $58
In contrast to Halloween which is typically related to terror, Dia de los Muertos is distinctively different. It demonstrates a strong sense of love and respect for one’s ancestors; celebrates the continuance of life, family relationships, and community solidarity; and allows people to talk about (or even find humor in!) death.
Space is limited; tickets available through Eventbrite or stop by SacredWaters in person/call 718.752.1414 to register with no fee.
