Self Altar Workshop

August 10 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

$20 – $25.00

Portland, Oregon friends! So very excited to share this offering with you in August. Join me at @memento.mori.cafe on Sunday, August 10th at 3pm for a Self Altar workshop exploring our mortality and most sacred possessions and earthly delights that we would want to display for our loved ones when our time comes to shed this mortal coil.

Come share a space with others who are curious and interested in contemplating what would speak to others and create a space of comfort and presence in the wake of our physical absence after death.

What to expect: we will discuss altars, shrines, memorials, some history on them and their purpose as well as what I do with them in the space of death and grief.

After registration, you will receive digital versions of my self altar worksheets. You have the option to print or use on your iPad or laptop. If you need one printed for you, let me know and I can create a physical copy.

You are welcome to purchase the delicious treats and drinks that @memento.mori.cafe has to offer! Unique spooky treats and drinks to keep you company during our time together.

“IF YOU DIED TODAY, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT PUT ON YOUR ALTAR TO REPRESENT WHO YOU WERE AND WHAT HELD THE MOST MEANING IN YOUR LIFE? WHAT BROUGHT YOU JOY? WHAT DID YOU HOLD DEAR? EXPLORE THIS SACRED WORK IN A SPACE WHERE OTHERS COME TO DISCUSS AND CONTEMPLATE THEIR MORTALITY IN THE FORM OF CREATIVE SELF REFLECTION AND EXPRESSION. SEE INFORMATION BELOW.”
