| (Day of the Dead)Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead, Oct. 27-Nov. 2) is a millennia-old indigenous tradition from the Americas that has been gaining popularity in the U.S. It is often associated with face-painted skulls and a party-like atmosphere celebrating the departed souls of loved ones. However, few know about its much deeper significance rooted in a sophisticated indigenous cosmology and holistic perspective of life and death, which for many can be profoundly healing. I invite you to more fully understand Día de los Muertos beyond the face paint and connect with its “magic” by learning to create your own ofrenda (offering) that will welcome your beloved home. Caroline E. Ortiz is an associate professor within the Pacific College of Health and Science’s Holistic Nursing Program, an adjunct senior lecturer at the California Institute of Integral Studies’ Integrative Health Studies Program, and a board-certified nurse coach. She has developed holistic health programs for healthcare providers and general audiences, participated in integrative medicine research, and created a Spanish-language guided meditation library for Hay House. She is active with the National Association of Hispanic Nurses-NY Chapter and the Integrative Health Project’s work internationally. Caroline is also an apprentice and researcher in Mesoamerican curanderismo (traditional medicine and healing system). |
