An open mic event and communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying, to embrace our losses & mortality, to grieve, bereave & honor what we’ve lost & love, in laughter & in tears… while all the while making room for the joy & gratitude at simply being ALIVE.

Those Who Have Held Us honors the diverse people who have long helped our communities carry life's joys and sorrows.

Together, we will  explore the grief that accompanies a lifetime of community work: the people and places we have lost, the toll of witnessing injustice, the changes communities have fought for, and the ways people continue to create joy, resistance, healing, and belonging.

In Deathbed Dress Rehearsal, witness and participate in a guided role-play process that explores the perspectives of a dying person and the people gathered at the bedside.

Befriending mortality can be seen as a spiritual quest, a psychological assignment, a philosophical riddle, or a culture-making undertaking. In this six-part series we approach the fact of our deaths as a subject for learning.
