    Group ceremony – Geneva<\/strong><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
    \n

    For the third year running, our association was lucky enough to organize, in partnership with the City of Geneva, a time of collective meditation for anyone who felt the need to honor the memory of a deceased person.<\/p>\n

    On November 4, 2023, each participant was invited by the CAPSA celebrants present to come and place a word, a thought, in a wooden heart, symbolizing all the love and attachment to their deceased.<\/p>\n

    Accompanied by the Dulcis Memoria ensemble, <\/span> this warm ceremony ended with a moving procession through the cemetery’s alleys, following a horse-drawn carriage carrying the wooden heart.<\/p>\n

    This grand procession took us to the Garden of Remembrance, where we closed this time of remembrance by allowing everyone to lay down a rose, expressing respect and love for the loved ones honored.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”7494,7495,7496,7497,7498,7499,7500,7501″ onclick=”link_no”][vc_column_text]\n
