It is increasingly difficult to find silence in our world, to discover places where we can be in solitude away from the noisiness, busyness, and distractions of life.

Dia de Los Muertos Celebration
Join us for an all-ages celebration of Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with authentic Mexican decorations and painted skulls for the altar, a reflection by Cesar Martinez-Garza, story, song, including a choral anthem, and a participatory ritual in which we light candles for our beloveds who have died.
