Celebrating the Day of the Dead

Kathryn V. White's art celebrating Day of the Dead

Autumn brings several holidays including Day of the Dead (observed at the end of October/early November).

It's often a celebratory time to remember and honor loved ones who have died.

It's also a good time to review your own life and reflect on what you want to create and experience.

So here are some deep-diving questions for your contemplation:

What fears arise?
What losses need to be mourned?
What can be released to move forward?
What desires to be created?
What needs recognition and celebration?

With trees shedding their vibrant leaves and the harvesting of crops, autumn energy can aid you in your own transition and transformation.
