Learn about the importance of seeds in Indigenous Mexican traditions, their connection to the ancestral milpa, and the cycles of life, death, and renewal. In celebration of Día de los Muertos, participants will create their own seed calaveras to contribute to our community ofrenda, honoring our ancestors and the generations to come.

Papier-Mâché Alebrije Workshop

Join us on October 31st, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. for a hands-on workshop exploring the Mexican tradition of cartonería (papier-mâché) and the art of making alebrijes. Using recycled paper, cardboard, and other materials, participants will create their own creatures inspired by animals and the natural world. Learn about the history of this art form, how it has been passed down through generations of Mexican artists and families, and how these imaginative creatures have become part of contemporary Día de los Muertos celebrations.

Tierra Rituals

Tierra Rituals, based in El Sobrante, honors the profound wisdom of our ancestors and the transformative energy found in the four elements and the spirit of plants. Founded by Lidia Ruelo-Salazar, a queer, two-spirit curandere, culture bearer, herbalist, and facilitator, Tierra Rituals offers healing sessions, community clinics, herbalism workshops, and apprenticeship programs rooted in Curanderismo and ancestral plant wisdom.

They are dedicated to being a source of individual and collective empowerment. Their heartfelt mission is to inspire folks to reconnect with their ancestral plant wisdom, reclaim their health, and envision a world where justice and liberation flourish and enhance our collective wellbeing. Their goal is to create an empowering community space and anti-oppressive environment that embraces the ancestral traditions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, while actively working towards collective wellness through healing justice, transformative justice, harm reduction principles, and community care.
