No question is too taboo. Jess will invite folks to participate in embodiment exercises, freewrite and consider the ways they want to be in relationship to their sexual expression within their (anticipatory) grief. […]

    Memento Mori: A Death Meditation and Living Funeral Ritual

    Earth and Spirit Center 1924 Newburg Road, Louisville, KY, United States

    Memento mori is a Latin phrase that means “remember you must die.” Death is an inevitable part of life, but society discourages us from confronting our own mortality. In this two-hour workshop, join trauma-informed meditation teacher Leah Raidt and death doula Becky Robison to acknowledge—and even welcome—death’s presence in our everyday lives. We’ll explore the individual dimensions of death by creating an altar of our own memento mori. We’ll examine the universal dimensions of death via meditation. And finally, we’ll hold a living funeral ritual where participants can write their own eulogies and learn about burial shrouding—including what it feels […]
