Honoring the Dead: An Art-Making Ritual for Día de los Muertos (In-Person)

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a sacred tradition that honors the ongoing relationship between the living and the dead. Rooted in Indigenous Mexican cosmology, the holiday understands death not as an ending, but as a transformation within the cycle of life. This experiential workshop invites participants to engage in a guided art-making ritual inspired by the ofrenda—a symbolic altar created to remember, honor, and reconnect with those who have died.

Drawing from depth psychology, art therapy, and ancestral ritual practices, participants will

explore grief, memory, and remembrance through creative expression.

No prior art experience is required. Materials will be provided.

Dr. Angelina H. Rodriguez is a licensed therapist and certified art therapist with extensive experience in Jungian approaches to creativity, mindfulness, and psychological growth. She leads workshops that help participants engage the unconscious through art-making, active imagination, and dream reflection. Focusing on self-expression, emotional awareness, and community connection, she guides individuals in uncovering inner symbols, metaphors, and stories that support healing and insight.
