1:00 PM Expressive Arts Workshop: 

Drumming to Honor a Loved One's Legacy.

Join us for a special workshop where the expressive arts offer a meaningful way to honor and celebrate your loved one. This event provides a supportive community space to remember, share, and celebrate through the power of music and drumming. All instruments will be provided, and no prior experience with the arts is necessary.


2:30 PM Formal Musical Program and Candle-Lighting Ceremony

The ritual of lighting a candle for the loved ones we have lost reminds us that even in their absence, the gifts they have left behind continue to glow. This inspirational ceremony features a musical performance and a healing message designed to help you see the light of hope in your grief. Should you wish, we welcome you to pay tribute and speak your loved one’s name.
