DETAILS

This serene and meaningful gathering provides an opportunity for families, friends, and community members to come together in remembrance of loved ones who have passed. Held in a peaceful outdoor setting, the ceremony will feature the symbolic release of native butterflies—each one representing a cherished life and the enduring love that remains. Through poetry, reflection, and shared remembrance, we honor the lives that have touched ours and celebrate their lasting impact on our hearts and community. This free event is open to all who wish to remember someone special in a supportive and healing environment. Whether you are honoring a recent loss or remembering someone from years past, Butterfly Blessings offers a gentle space for reflection, connection, and hope.
