Join us for a sacred evening of remembrance, celebration, and connection as we honor the ancestors.
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is an ancient Mexican tradition that honors the eternal bond between the living and the departed. It is a time to celebrate life, remember our loved ones, and give thanks for the paths they opened before us.
Held in the peaceful setting of sacred burial grounds - where Spirit and Earth meet - this ceremony invites us to open our hearts and connect deeply with the unseen.
This is a family friendly event! Children under 12 are free to join.
Hosted by Jacqueline Lee Breda - a shamanic healer and nutrition guide devoted to helping others reconnect with their bodies, Spirit and the heart. Through ancient wisdom and intuitive healing, Jacqueline creates spaces for remembrance, release and renewal. Her work bridges the physical and spiritual, guiding others back to wholeness, joy and the wisdom of the heart.
