THE TRUE ESSENCE OF HALLOWEEN

All are invited to celebrate the lives of those that have passed on with:
• Candle Lighting
• Ancestral Community Altar
• Spirit Masquerade

Join us in honoring our departed ancestors and friends as the veil between worlds is thought to be thinnest at this time of year.

Many cultures honor the departed on this day with observances like Día de Muertos, Samhain, Giorno dei Morti, and All Souls’ Day. This is our community's co-creation.

You are invited to join impassioned tea advocate Bryan Zimmerman for his second workshop at Curious magazine and gift shop at 352 Broadway in Midtown Kingston this Sunday, November 2nd at 2pm. An antidote to the seasonal blues, we'll gather to taste and learn about "true teas" from China, Taiwan and Vietnam brewed properly and informally in the gongfu style. All teas are ethically sourced and sustainably grown or wild harvested. Bryan Zimmerman is a Columbia-County-based artist and educator who takes an ecumenical approach to materials and processes. He has made tea a daily part of his life for 30 years.

**Space is very limited. Advance reservations required.**
