The All Souls Procession

All Souls Procession Amulet

A tribute to one of Tucson’s most powerful traditions, this pendant honors the All Souls Procession—an annual gathering of remembrance, creativity, and community, that has grown from just 20 people to more than 100,000 participants. I’ve attended every year since 1997, except while in Kenya!

My connection runs deep—from learning fire dancing with Flam Chen founder and Artistic Director Nadia Hagen, to performing in the 2006 finale high above the crowd, to helping build the original metal urn.

This piece has been an ongoing successful fundraiser - topping the list of best sellers in their web shop many years.  I'm so proud to have donated 100 profit from every sale.

This piece is one in a long history of creating custom All Souls fundraising efforts. I’ve hosted fundraisers raising a quick $1K based on Nadia's hand drawn inkings. I also created a collaboration with Buffalo Exchange on wearable art, with Nadia and two other artists painting clothing at a late night fundraiser, to name a couple. 

It's all to support this sacred space of collective memory and celebration. This pendant holds a story of fire, art, and honoring those we love. And I love that so much.
