2024
We have only one scheduled presentation in October.
​
We have decided to not schedule any tours moving forward. We will move forward with alternative ways to share the information we typically share during our live presentations.
Visit this website for recorded narratives, and stories on a variety of topics.
​
Our only scheduled presentations this year will be on Sunday, October 20th at 2:00 PM at the Historic Old San Ysidro Church in the Village of Corrales, New Mexico. This will be a FREE presentation themed on the Origin of Dia de Los Muertos from an indigenous perspective. This specific presentation has always been one of our favorites to share and what makes it even more special is that we will share it in our hometown of Corrales.
​
Below is a bit of information that is relative to this presentation.

How we react and respond is a choice we make based on our beliefs or perception of how we are supposed to respond.
There are options for a different way of looking at mortality. By utilizing a different lens or perspective we may experience a new way of embracing not just the passing of a loved one but for appreciating the life they lived, who they were and our connection to them. This is the cornerstone of our presentation themed on the origin of Dia de Los Muertos from the indigenous perspective.
Please plan on joining with us on Sunday, October 20th at 2:00 pm at the Historic Old San Ysidro Church in Corrales, NM.
Our Aztec Stories presentation promptly begins at 2:00 pm with Q&A at its conclusion.
Please arrive early to secure seating as it is a very small and beautiful venue.
This free event is hosted by the Corrales Historical Society.
