Kaleidoscope on Death & Dying (culture, cycles, symbolism)

This gathering was co-led by Karine and Amber as an opportunity to gather around the virtual fire so to speak to explore the theme of Death and Dying from a multi-cultural, multiple lenses, perspective. This is part of our 'kaleidoscope sessions’ series which we hope will offer us the opportunity to engage with themes through multiple lenses. We’re in search of other suns in our kaleidoscope focus. How we do this is still being actively created, but what fuels us is the desire to offer this space as part of re-imagining how we could live in our bodies and with each other and the world. Our personal and collective liberation is central to this project. This meeting will offer both conceptual and experiential engagement with the theme, and offer an opportunity to share with others what’s come up from the work. We want to focus on what’s come up for you, and provide some space for you to share with each other in this communal space.
