Barry and Maya Spector
Invite you to our annual
Day of the Dead Ritual
Saturday, November 3rd,
9:00 AM--6:00 PM
Hillside Church, El Cerrito
(just north of Berkeley)
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 can¹t 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. In some traditions, this is the time of year
when the veil between our world and the unseen world is thin; it is an
opportune time to complete any unfinished business that prevents us from
fully participating in life.
This 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 Vietnamese traditions.
We have facilitated this ritual for over ten years.
COST: $30 in advance, $50 at the door.
Please RSVP to receive detailed instructions.
NO ONE REFUSED. WORK SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE.
Send your check to Barry
at 3751 Bay Road, Menlo Park, 94025
