Decolonizing Death
Mainstream Western cultures have often sought to sanitize, minimize, and even erase death. Colonialism, capitalism, and de enchantment have separated us from our histories and community legacies, and have often made our relationships to death and the dead oversimplified, transactional, or even weaponized.
In this workshop, attendees will unpack their own relationship with death in their spiritual practice and examine their biases when it comes to honoring and grieving the dead. Through this workshop, we will confront how we ignore our obligations to the dead to safeguard our own comfort, and begin the process of healing the rift between worlds.
