Sacred Transitions - Alex Alatorre

Different ways, some more traditional and some not so much, in which we can all celebrate Día de los mu***os. 🏵🕯

I've started to see the conversation going around on whether you should or shouldn't be setting up an altar for Día de los mu***os if you are not Hispanic. I obviously believe that it's a very important conversation to be had, but it's very nuanced so my aim is not to weigh in on an Instagram post.

I have so much love and passion for this tradition, so I want to share some alternative ideas for anyone curious about celebrating and honoring their loved ones while still wanting to be respectful, if you're feeling unsure on whether you should or shouldn't set up an altar 💜

Happy turning of the seasons friends 🌙🍂

Come check out what we've been brewing behind the scenes for you all! It's always so exciting finding new ways in which we can explore heavy topics together in a less serious and scary way. I'm so thrilled to offer these two workshops along with Liberated Creatives and The Story House Bookstore 💜📖

💀️If you enjoy board games and the idea of contemplating more deeply about Death and Dying, the Playing with Death workshop will be right down your alley! Come play some rounds of the Death Deck, if you dare 😉🃏

💀On the other hand, if connecting with your creative side while exploring these topics sounds better for you, I invite you to look into the Calaveritas Literarias workshop. Come learn about the beautiful Mexican tradition of writing light hearted poems related to death and grief, and how creativity can help us process heavy emotions and humor can help us approach death in a less serious and scary manner 🖋🕯

I hope that in one or both of these workshops you will find some gold nuggets to carry with you, and some tools to help you navigate future experiences 🗝🪞💜
