Across the Americas, people commemorate loved ones with offerings of their favorite foods, objects, and stories. This ceremony observes the interconnectedness of life and death, a natural cycle experienced by all forms of life. Through October 27th and November 3rd, Meadowside Nature Center welcomes offerings (“ofrenda”) in a community exhibit discussing cycles of rest and renewal, and cultural traditions that celebrate death as a universal experience.
Registration is not required. Guests may come anytime during open hours to place copies of photographs, objects, flowers and plants, artwork, and non-perishable foods in sealed containers on the altar. The community exhibit will be open to the public; please provide objects that can be left at the nature center.
