REFLECTIONS ON DYING

Join us for an evening of cultivating a relationship to dying. Through writing prompts and guided meditation, participants will gently connect with our mortality in a supportive and reflective environment. Please bring something to write on. See below for Zoom details.

A COLLECTIVE FOR THE DYING AND THEIR LOVED ONES

Traditionally deathcare was offered in community. It is also one of the ways in which community is formed. Before dying became a medicalized event and before embalming practices and funerals became an industry, we cared for our own. We knew our loved ones' wishes and carried them out with the support of our network. Final acts of care were carried out by loving hands, not outsourced to professionals. This contact and presence with the reality of death affected the way we grieved and also how we experienced our own mortality. Facing the inevitability of one of life's most powerful passages with community empowered us to live more fully.

If you have any desire to be of service at end of life in any capacity (healing arts, doula, legal, music, green burial etc) please join our collective!
