Paradise Found

Inspired by the celebrations of Samhain and Días de los Muertos, once again, local artist and woodworker, Rebecca Zendejas will be creating a Community Memorial Altar at Paradise Found.
‍
The altar will be on display from Thursday, October 22rd until the morning of Thursday, November 5th. During shop hours, the general public is invited to stop by and add the names of deceased loved ones to the altar.
‍
Paradise Found is open everyday from 11am to 6pm.
How this tradition started…A universal symbol of transformation and hope, the butterfly has long been associated with the spirits of deceased loved ones in cultures across the globe. Rebecca has had a lifelong fascination with the rituals and traditions that commemorate the death of loved ones that remain alive in our hearts. In response to the devastating losses of the pandemic, Rebecca approached Paradise Found and offered to make a Community Memorial Altar in October of 2020. In the years that have followed, it has become a beloved celebration.
