Organizer’s description

A space to collectively explore death, grief and remembrance. Inspired by Día de Muertos, this gentle gathering invites us to honour loved ones who have died (including beloved pets), while also making space for grief connected to other life losses and changes (in relationships, friendships, work, sexuality and sense of self). Through storytelling, poetry, quiet reflection and conversation, we'll explore our personal experiences in a non-judgemental space. Expect gentle prompts, exchanges in pairs and wider group conversations. All invitations are optional, and you're welcome to participate at your own pace, including simply listening. You're invited to bring a photo or an object that connects you with someone you wish to remember, or with the themes we'll explore. And yes, there WILL be cake!
