The Grand Foyer of the United Palace will be become an ancestral altar on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
As humans, we are each deeply connected to the people that came before us, our ancestors. Whether you have met them during your lifetime or not, your connections to them run deep not only genetically & geographically, but also spiritually. Join us as we intentionally connect with the ancestors, honoring them, celebrating them & sending them messages of gratitude & love.
We invite you to bring any photos that you may like to contribute to the ancestral altar of your loved ones who have passed on &/or any food offerings that you would like to leave on the altar. You will also be invited to write out a message to your ancestors, both known & unknown, to acknowledge their presence, ask for guidance or to tell them anything at all that is on your mind or in your heart.
Offerings to the Ancestors is the second public event offered by The Muse, the United Palace of Spiritual Arts’ a monthly program celebrating inspiration, the arts & community, challenging participants to reimagine what’s possible in art & in life.
The event will culminate with a group meditation & other creative offerings to infuse the evening with more meaning & purpose.
