Join us for a heartfelt evening where movement, memory, and mission come together. Día de los Downdogs is a celebration of the dogs who have shaped our lives, a gathering for our animal welfare community, and a chance to reconnect with ourselves in a deeply meaningful way.
Inspired by the spirit of Día de los Muertos, this event is an evening to celebrate, grieve, and honor the human-animal bond that never fades. It’s also a chance to come together as a community — people, pups, and advocates — united by compassion and the belief that every dog deserves their best life.
✨ What to Expect:
🧘♀️ All-levels yoga class: Designed to ground you, open your heart, and invite connection.
🕯️ Candle making workshop (add-on): Craft a candle in memory of a beloved pet.
🔮 Oracle readings (add-on): A chance to reflect and receive insight.
🐕🦺 Ofrenda viewing: A stunning, shared altar where we honor the dogs we’ve loved and lost. Bring a photo or memento if you’d like to include one.
