Cenas Däthä · Däthä Over Dinner
In August 2019 we organized two Däthä Dinners Däthä (the long sleep, death, in Otomí) as part of the celebrations for the inauguration of the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Mexico Centro Foundation. Our guest of honor was Ken Ross, son of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
For two nights, we shared prehispanic astronomy, ancestral gastronomy, Mesoamerican cosmology and the death positive movement.
We discover how nature observation teaches us about the life-death-life cycles, what are the small and large festivities of Dä'th—the death, the long sleep in Otomi—about the true origins and practices of the contemporary Day of the Dead, and how the ancestral traditions and the current death positive movement coincide and enrich us enormously to live a more vital and rewarding life.
We were accompanied by residents of San Miguel de Allende and the neighborhoods in the Bajío region, including Mexicans, some foreigners, and expatriates from the United States and Canada.
