Description
Hosted by Auburn Crest Hospice and the University of Idaho, this event is free and open to the public as a chance to heal together from the loss of loved ones.
We will be releasing 50 Painted Lady Butterflies, lovingly raised by entomologists at the University of Idaho. Attendees will have the ability to write private messages to loved ones and watch those thoughts take flight with these beatiful creatures.
Whether you are mourning a miscarriage, the loss of friend or family member, a child, a beloved pet or lost a loved one during the pandemic, all are welcome to take part in this cathartic and healing event and find support in knowing you are not alone.
