What Remains?
An interactive workshop with multidimensional artist Marina White Raven.
This 60 minute online workshop will engage the body, breath, mind and senses to explore perceptions of death, impermanence and grief. Examining our relationship with death and dying; how we remain connected with the dead and ways we might honour and remember them. This is an invitation to enter the 'house of death' and through creative practice, be navigated to a place of self remembrance. Through this process we may individually and collectively transform our perceptions of death and realise what it is to feel fully alive.
Creative practices will include writing, mark making and sharing.
