FAQ Before the Event/


Anything I need to do before the event?


After the purchase of your ticket, you will receive an email from us with instructions and guidelines on how to submit a photo of your loved one. This photo will be used as the centerpiece of your altar, and a visual representation of the person you are honoring in your personal space.

I’ve never created anything in my life before, I’m nervous! This workshop focuses on the act of creativity and exploring new mediums to honor your loved one’s story and legacy. With that said, there’s no wrong way to create. If you’d like some extra guidance, we’re happy to walk you through onsite!

One of our compassion ambassadors will give you an overview of the space and materials, a quick safety reminder, and instructions. This workshop is intended for you to connect with the process of creativity, and while we will definitely support you every step of the way, we hope you use your time to explore new mediums of creating a space of reflection.
