Death over Drafts: Crafting Connections Over Conversations That Matter

October's theme is Celebrating the Dead.

· Does your culture celebrate the death of your ancestors?

· What rituals does your culture have regarding death?

· Within our culture that is tending towards cremation and less traditional funerals, how do we remember and celebrate our deceased?

· Do you keep a family altar or have prayers or rituals to remember your loved ones or to feed the hungry ghosts? Feel free to bring a picture of a deceased loved one, prayer, poem, artifact.

· Have you been to a Zoom memorial?

Co-sponsored by Full Circle Living and Dying, we’re part of a movement to make conversations about death and dying less taboo and more approachable.

Full Circle End-of-Life Doula and Death Over Drafts Crafter aka Host, Sushila Mertens facilitates these gatherings, including a lively game called "The Death Deck" to ease into these important discussions. Whether you’re curious or looking to share stories, reflect, or connect with others in the field, all are welcome.
