Day of the Dead meditation: a celebration of life

Day of the Dead meditation: a celebration of life

On the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, we allow ourselves space for our memories and our grief about those we’ve lost — as well as for joy, and even humor, around the continuity between life and death. While many cultures try to tiptoe around death, the rituals of Día de Muertos ask us to look clearly at it, recognize death’s place in our lives, and honor both its everyday-ness and its mystery.

Creating my own sanctuary, by Angela Ahrendts

The strawberry field past the maple tree. A hidden nook beneath the stairs. The magical hour before anyone else is awake.

Now, after a series of bold career choices, Angela reflects on the decades-long journey that has brought her to this moment, and comes to realize that with each new day she has an opportunity to discover a new sanctuary – because the truest sanctuary is the one within us all.
