This is a drop in, Facilitated, Open-ended circle that runs from 12-4pm.
Description: Unveiling the Shroud brings communities together to have conversations about death and dying. These discussions can be a radical act of ‘rebellion’ against oppressive systems as death remains a largely taboo subject as does grief. We directly confront these realities through education, dialogue and advocacy to ensure more dignified equitable end of life experiences for all. Community engagement is the pillar of our work. This ensures the relevance and equity of our work reflect the needs and aspirations of our participants. The approach is interactive and iterative and we build on our previous workshops.
