🕯️Remembrance Day – 11th November🕯️
Last week at Rekindle, we explored different ways to remember loved ones. From Day of the Dead crafts to poppy-making and decorating photo frames to celebrate connection and memory. 💐💀✨
Today, we marked Remembrance Day with an 11-second silence to reflect and remember.
The first photo shows a beautiful handmade poppy created in last week’s session — part of our crafts exploring remembrance and connection across different cultures. ❤️
🤍 The white or silver poppy, adopted by the Peace Pledge Union in the 1930s, represents peace and remembers all victims of war — a reminder to hope for a future without violence.
Everyone experiences remembrance differently — it’s okay if today brings up emotions, memories, or mixed feelings. Take time for yourself, and reach out for support if you need it 💛
