Día de Muertos Community Ofrenda Protocol: A Guided Altar-Making Workshop

Honoring our Ancestors with Cempasúchil
As Día de los Muertos approaches, we gather to create something tangible for our altars.
Fresh cempasúchil chains become an act of love - threading flowers together as we hold space for those we remember. This is not a workshop about learning facts. This is about being with each other, with our ancestors, and with the plant that has always welcomed them home.
Families will take home a fresh cempasúchil chain for their Día de los Muertos altar - made with intention, blessed in community.
Día de Muertos Ofrenda Free Community-Centered Event
