The Center, Life in Balance/Zen Den, in Medford, will host a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) event at 3:30 p.m. on November 3 to honor loved ones that have passed away. Participants are invited to bring photos, favorite foods and drinks, and personal items of those they wish to remember for a community altar. The occasion will feature light refreshments and two mediums to channel messages from departed loved ones.

Leading up to the event, community members can stop by The Center or the Zen Den on Main, a holistic shoppe within The Center, to leave messages for loved ones on pumpkins or notes among the elaborately decorated porch. Markers will be available to express gratitude and share memories in the spirit of the tradition.

Dia de los Muertos, celebrated on November 1 and 2, is a time for family and friends to remember the departed. Rooted in Oaxaca, Mexico, the tradition offers locals a meaningful way to celebrate life and remembrance. The Center aims to provide a supportive environment during this season of reflection.
