Join us for this special workshop, where we will create sugar skulls, or calaveras. Each sugar skull is meant to represent a departed loved one and serves as an offering to honor their memory, to celebrate the cycle of life and death during the Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). 

We will begin the workshop with a short guided meditation to connect with the spirits, and then we will sit together to decorate the pre-made skulls with icing, sequins, and other supplies. We will supply all that is needed, but we encourage you to bring any small trinkets or mementos you would like to add. These are made with the intention to be placed on ofrendas (altars) to honor ancestors, often with the person's name written on the skull, and are viewed not with sadness, but with joy and nostalgia, signifying that life must be fully lived.

Rather than mourning death, the celebration embraces it as a natural part of life's journey. The colorful and sweet nature of the skulls symbolizes the beauty of life and the importance of living it to the fullest.
The skull also represents the connection between the earthly and spiritual realms, reminding people that the deceased are always present in spirit.
The tradition of using skull imagery dates back to pre-Columbian civilizations like the Aztecs, who revered goddesses associated with the afterlife.
