Barry and Maya Spector

with Marcia Rayene

invite you to our eighteenth annual

Day of the Dead Ritual

Saturday, November 7th, 9:00-6:00

Hillside Church, El Cerrito, CA.

Whether or not we have recently lost loved ones, we all carry a heavy load of grief and stress simply by living in these times. When we can’t find ways to drop the weight of this emotional burden, we can become hopeless, bitter or numb. Letting it go makes room for a new kind of imagination to enter. The release of these emotions requires a safe space and a caring community.

We will take a full day to help each other remember our ancestors and our personal and collective losses. It will be a day of mourning and remembrance, but also of great beauty and celebration. There will be poetry, storytelling, drumming, altar-building and chanting from African, Celtic, Mexican and other traditions.

COST: $30 if received in advance, $50 at the door.

Pre-registration required (by check or PayPal)
