DATE: Saturday, October 27<\/strong> Preparations have begun for the 8th annual All Souls At Mountain View Cemetery<\/strong>, October 27, 2012<\/strong>. from 6-10 pm<\/em>. This unique cultural event offers the public an opportunity to remember their dead, whether interred at Mountain View Cemetery or not, in a gentle atmosphere of contemplative beauty.<\/p>\n The first fires are lit at sundown, and throughout the evening the cemetery comes alive with music, poetry, and flickering candles. Inside the celebration hall you will find tea to refresh you, and flowers, papers and candles for the creation of personal memorials to place on one of the artist made shrines or family graves.<\/p>\n ________________________________<\/p>\n The candles are kept lit throughout the memorial week and the Celebration Hall will be open 6-9pm for the creation of personal memorials. There is additional programming, including the popular Threshold Choir, October 28 at 7pm., culminating in a final procession on the evening of November 1st, the last night of All Souls at Mountain View Cemetery.<\/p>\n If you are interested in getting involved ~creating flower garlands on the morning of the event, or hosting and tea service throughout the event and the week of memorials ~ please join us at the Orientation and Walkabout, 7pm October 18, or contact us at the number below.<\/p>\n The orientation will be followed by a presentation by Marina Szijarto, art and technical director of the project, on the creation of personal shrines and memorials.<\/p>\n The popular Sugar Skulls Workshop returns Saturday October 20, 1-3pm.
