This season calls us to release what no longer serves, so we may welcome what is waiting to be born.
We invite you to sit with sacred teachers—Los Ninos, to be guided into deeper alignment with yourself, with nature, and with the present moment.

Together, we will honor the wisdom of letting go, so that new life, clarity, and possibility can enter.

Come with an open heart. Leave with renewed presence.
🌿 In the stillness, the teachings arise. 🌿

The Sacred Teachers are our Religious Belief and Sacrament.
As an indigenous church, we walk with deep respect and honor for these gifts of Creation. They are not taken lightly—they are approached with prayer, humility, and gratitude.

As the veil between worlds grows thin, we enter the sacred warmth of the Purification Lodge to honor our ancestors, release grief, and call in guidance.

This Día de los Muertos ceremony is a time to remember those who came before, to feel their presence, and to offer our prayers through steam, sweat, song, and silence.

We gather in reverence to cleanse the spirit, nourish the soul, and walk with our ancestors through the doorway of fire and water.

• A sacred altar offering (photo, flower, fruit, candle, stone, etc.)
• A dish to share for our post-ceremony potluck

• Encouraged: Gifts for ceremony leaders (e.g., tobacco, sage, cedar, copal)
